History

In March 2023, it's reported that several Dehlaviehs were confiscated by American and British troops from being transported to the Houthis.[6] The incident took place in February 2023 after an American aircraft conducted surveillance on a boat coming from Iran.[7]

Design

The Dehlavieh has a range of 5–6 km.[8][9] Its armor penetration is said to be more than 1,000 meters.[10]

In 2018, it's reported that the Dehlavieh can have the “RU244TK” and “RU150TK” thermal imaging cameras attached.[11]
