The Meshkat ( Persian: مشکات, meaning "Lantern") is a medium-range cruise missile built by Iran.
The missile can be fired from ground, air and sea and will have a range of 2000 km.[ citation needed]
On 2015 a long-range cruise missile was revealed under the name " Soumar (missile)" which possibly is the more matured type of Meshkat. The range of the missile was not mentioned. Haaretz newspaper claimed the design closely resembles the Kh-55 that Iran acquired from Ukraine in 2001. [1] Because of the similarities media guess a range between 2000 and 3000 km for it.
