Iran mass producing smart ballistic missiles: IRGC chief
TEHRAN, Feb. 8 (MNA) - Iran is mass producing smart ballistic missiles which can be used against naval targets, the IRGC commander announced on Monday.
These supersonic missiles cannot be tracked and can hit targets with high precision, Mohammad Ali Jafari told a press conference.
Jafari also said the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps is currently manufacturing radars with a range of 500 kilometers, adding the IRGC will also start manufacturing radars with longer ranges in the next Iranian calendar year which starts on March 21.
He went on to say that the IRGC has finished studies on two mobile radars with a range of 60 kilometers, which can be attached to small destroyers.
A study for producing coastal radars with a range of 300 kilometers has also been finished, the top military commander added.
On Iran’s capability to counter cruise missiles, Jafari said the IRGC can hit such missiles before touching the ground in some parts of the country including Tehran Province.
