Tehran: Iran successfully test-fired a fourth-generation Fateh 110 (Conqueror 110) missile, Defence Minister Ahmad Vahidi announced on Saturday.
The missile has a range of more than 300 kilometres
Vahidi said that the domestically manufactured missile, which is equipped with an enhanced guidance system, is able to hit land and naval targets with pinpoint accuracy.
He said: “In line with the policy to promote innovation and increase the accuracy of surface-to-surface missiles manufactured by the Defense Ministry, committed and dedicated experts at Iran’s Aerospace Industries Organization achieved this success through reliance on domestic capability and the use of indigenous technologies.
“The armed forces will be able to hit and destroy land and naval targets, the gathering points of enemy (forces), command posts, missile sites, munitions depots, radar systems, and other targets with pinpoint precision using fourth-generation Fateh 110 missiles.
“All these capabilities are meant for defense and will be employed only against aggressors and those who threaten the interests and the territorial integrity of our country.”
