'Peaceful and Moderate' - Iran Unveils New Ground-Based Cruise Missile System. (Fars).
Iran unveiled a new long-range ground-to-ground
cruise missile system, named 'Soumar', in a ceremony attended by senior
military officials and commanders.
"The designing and building of this weapon whose
navigation and propulsion systems and its structure enjoy complicated
and new technologies is seen as a wide stride taken to enhance the
Islamic Republic of Iran's defensive and deterrence power," he added.
Dehqan also announced the mass delivery of Qadr
and Qiyam long-range ballistic missiles to the Islamic Revolution Guards
Corps (IRGC)'s Aerospace Force, and said these missiles are capable of
destroying different types of targets under any type of conditions due
to their tactical capability, sustainability in the battleground and
radar-evading features.
He also announced that the defense ministry will
deliver upgraded versions of these long-range and high-precision
missiles to the Iranian military forces next year.
Sejjil missiles are considered as the third generation of Iran-made long-range missiles.
Also, Iran's 2000km-range, liquid-fuel, Qadr F ballistic missile can reach territories as far as Israel.
Iran's surface-to-surface Sejjil missile, the
long-range Shahab-3 ballistic missile which has a range of up to 2,000
km*, and Zelzal and Fateh missiles have all been developed by the
Aerospace Organization of the Defense Industries.
This is while the solid-fuel, two-stage Sejjil
missile with two engines, is capable of reaching a very high altitude
and therefore has a longer range* than that of the Shahab 3 model. Hmmm........Obama's BFF Iran. Read more here.
