As announced by the Ecuadorian Military Navy's Facebook account on June 24, 2023, in the context of bilateral security cooperation, the US Department of Defense has recently provided a valuable asset to the Ecuadorian Navy: RQ-11 Raven drones. Originally developed for the US military and now adopted by many other nations, these small unmanned aerial vehicles (SUAVs) will play a crucial role in enhancing command, control, and surveillance capabilities at the country's northern border.

On July 25, 2023, the Iranian Navy and the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy added a new highly precise cruise missile called "Abu Mahdi" to their arsenal. The introduction of this missile is expected to significantly enhance its capability to strike ships effectively in the region.
