The 5th Fleet identified some of the recovered items as a set of jet vanes for a ballistic missile at the front, three impact sensor caps for ballistic missiles on top of the black box, and Iranian copies of the Kornet anti-tank missile at the rear. There also appears to be an actuator for a jet vane on the right and possibly an actuation control system on the left. (US 5th Fleet/US Naval Forces Central Command)

Ballistic missile components have been found for the first time in an Iranian weapons shipment that was presumably heading to Yemen when it was intercepted.

The UK Royal Navy announced on 2 March that the shipment was found on a small vessel that was spotted in the Gulf of Oman by a US unmanned aircraft, and intercepted by the Royal Marines operating from the frigate HMS Lancaster after a high-speed chase.

“The haul included Iranian versions of Russian 9M133 Kornet anti-tank guided missiles – known in Iran as Dehlavieh – and medium-range ballistic missile components,” it said.
