....The full terrifying array of armory on display includes:
- Abadil-2/3 “kamikaze” drones: Shown on rail launchers inside the tunnels, these are designed for deadly one-way strikes on ship sensors and superstructures.
- Shahed-136 drones: Primarily a land-attack drone, but naval versions shown inside the tunnels can be mounted on fast-attack craft or hidden launch racks to target coastal infrastructure and tankers.
- Zolfaqar drones: Small, explosive-laden autonomous boats designed to swarm larger naval vessels.

- Nasr-1 (ASCM): Shorter-range, high-precision missiles designed for coastal defense, capable of being launched from speedboats or hidden bunkers.
- Khalij Fars (ASCM): Quasi-ballistic anti-ship missiles that Iran claims can hit moving targets at sea using an electro-optical seeker.
- Maham sea mines: Acoustic/magnetic influence mines, often seabed-mounted, that can detonate without direct contact, just by detecting the physical signatures of passing ships.
- Sadaf-02 sea mines: Contact mines that are often shown being loaded onto civilian-style dhow sailing vessels, or fast boats.
