Fusil de francotirador Hoshdar-M

Also known as
  • Nakhjir

El Hoshdar-M es un fusil iraní de francotirador y de tirador designado de patrón SVD, asociado también en informes de la ONU con el nombre Nakhjir. Su relevancia para la guerra civil de Yemen de 2014 procede de la interdicción del FS Provence del 20 de marzo de 2016, en la que investigadores documentaron 64 fusiles en un cargamento de dhow identificado posteriormente por la ONU como fusiles de francotirador SVD de producción iraní y vinculado a una ruta de suministro de Irán a Yemen.

SVD, Semi-automatic designated marksman rifle, Infantry WeaponsInfantry WeaponsSVDSemi-automatic designated marksman rifleThe SVD, commonly known as the Dragunov, is a Soviet 7.62x54R semi-automatic designated marksman rifle designed to give infantry units longer-range precision fire without the weight and slower rate of a bolt-action sniper rifle. Its fixed-stock, folding-stock, modernized, and heavy-caliber variants remain visible across state forces and non-state armed groups, including documented use in Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan, and the Lake Chad Basin.
AKM, 7.62x39mm assault rifle, Infantry WeaponsInfantry WeaponsAKM7.62x39mm assault rifleThe AKM is the stamped-receiver modernization of the Soviet Kalashnikov assault rifle, chambered for 7.62x39mm and built around a long-stroke gas piston and rotating bolt. Adopted in 1959, it reduced production burden compared with earlier milled-receiver AK rifles and became a widely licensed baseline for later 7.62mm Kalashnikov-pattern weapons. CAR and ARES field documentation continues to place AKM and AKM-pattern rifles in modern conflict stocks, from Islamic State recoveries in Iraq and Syria to Taliban captures in Afghanistan.
M76 sniper rifle, Semi-automatic designated marksman/sniper rifle, Infantry WeaponsInfantry WeaponsM76 sniper rifleSemi-automatic designated marksman/sniper rifleThe M76 is a Zastava-built Yugoslav semi-automatic marksman rifle originally chambered for 7.92x57 mm Mauser and built around an enlarged Kalashnikov-pattern action. Its catalog significance is twofold: it was a Yugoslav People's Army precision rifle with distinctive 8 mm ammunition and optic arrangements, and it later appears in Lake Chad Basin reporting as a Serbian-origin sniper rifle associated with Boko Haram factions.

Public conflict evidence ties Dehlavieh 9M133-type guided weapons to Popular Mobilization Unit militia arsenals in Iraq and to maritime interdictions of Dehlaviyeh-family launchers or missiles moving from Iran toward Houthi-aligned forces in Yemen, where the record supports transfer and supply-chain context rather than confirmed battlefield firing.

Open-source arms researchers documented fixed-stock AR-M9 rifles with UAE-trained pro-government Yemeni resistance fighters at Al-Anad Air Base and an AR-M9F with a Sudanese coalition soldier in Yemen, placing the family inside Gulf-backed coalition equipment flows during the 2014 Yemen Civil War.

Houthi-affiliated media claimed a seven-meter missile with a 300-kilometer range and micro-turbojet propulsion, while outside assessments differ on whether the public evidence best matches Ghader, Ghadir, or a broader C-802 derivative.
