The Jask-2 missile is an Iranian submarine-launched cruise missile developed from the Iranian Nasr-1 Anti-ship missile. It is designed to be fired from the Ghadir-class midget submarines and it can also be launched by the Fateh-class submarines.
==History== According to some sources the missile was first displayed as a model in an exhibition by students of the Imam Khomeini Naval University of Noshahr in September 2012. In May 2017, the Iranians reportedly tested the Jask-2 cruise missile for the first time, however the tests failed. On 25 February 2019, the Iranians successfully tested the missile as part of the Velayat 97 maneuvers and released a footage of the missile being fired from a Ghadir-class submarine, Iran also modified the Fateh-class submarines so that they can also launch cruise missiles. By 11 September 2020, a Navy official claimed the Jask-2 cruise missiles had been mass produced (with such efforts starting in November 2019). Hossein Khanzadi also said that Iran wishes to extend the range of the Jask-2 missile and work is being done on the Jask-3 missile.
