There was Ghader unveiled some years back and it is possible they have been deployed as they look like the Noor (c-802) just longer. I think its box launcher has a bulge at the tip distinguishing it from a Noor canister.
Every military video I have seen they are sea skimming missiles which makes them susceptible to CWIS. Now a days you have CMs that sea skim till they reach the target than shoot up to avoid the CWIS and attack top Down.
I suspect the Houthis operation was really a Quds force operation to gauge a US warship response to 2 C-802 launches as a intelligence gathering feature.
I guess we will have to wait till the Iranian supersonic anti ship missiles get unveiled. At this time it seems CMs based on C-802 are the backbone of naval fleet.
