In March 2023, it's reported that several Dehlaviehs were confiscated by American and British troops from being transported to the Houthis.[7] The incident took place in February 2023 after an American aircraft conducted surveillance on a small boat coming from Iran.[8]
The Dehlavieh has a range of 5–6 km which was reportedly extended to 8 km (for both its air and ground launched versions) as of 2023.[9][10][11] Its armor penetration is said to be more than 1,000 mm.[12]
In 2018, it's reported that the Dehlavieh can have the “RU244TK” and “RU150TK” thermal imaging cameras attached.[13]
