Iran unveils new anti-ship, anti-aircraft missiles
Iran presented new, domestically made anti-ship and
anti-aircraft missiles "Qader" and "Nasr", IRIB News reported.
The ceremony took place in presence of Iranian defense minister
Hossein Deghan, who said that such missiles are manufactured in
Iran for the first time.
He went on to note that "Qader" missiles are capable of hitting
enemy aircrafts within the 200 km range, while Nasr missiles have a
35 km range.
According to Deghan, the main importance of these missiles is that
they have a very short readiness time, and are able to hit targets
on low altitude, while maintaining high target-hitting
accuracy.
Several days ago Iran showcased 18 ballistic missiles "Qader F" and
12 missiles "Sacil", whose range can reach up to 2,000 km, at the
annual military parade.
According to the report, Iran for the first time demonstrated such
large missile arsenal, as during previous military parades, usually
only 2-3 missiles were demonstrated.
