Iran's first domestically made hovercraft dubbed the Tondar تندر (thunder) was delivered to the armed forces today, according to IRNA. The Iranian Navy operated brittish made hovercrafts for decades and they saw combat in the Iraq-Iraq war.
The hovercraft will be deployed in two versions, a transport version, and a combat version which is capable of firing missiles and can carry and deploy unmanned drones. (1)
Of note, the Iranian military this time around acknowledged that its one of 5 countries with such naval capability and didn't claim to be the "First" in the world.
