Iran Succeeds in Optimizing Range, Precision Targeting of Anti-Radar Missiles
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Air Force Lieutenant Commander Brigadier General Hossein Chitforoush, the spokesperson of the 'Fadaeeyan-e Harim-e Vellayat III' air drills underway in Northwestern Iran, announced on Thursday that the country's experts have managed to boost the range and the precision capability of the anti-radar missiles fired by Sukhoi-24 fighter jets.
"One of the most important actions taken in these drills was increasing the range of the anti-radar missiles mounted on Sukhoi-24 fighters," Chitforoush told reporters on Thursday, adding that the missiles have been fired and "hit the specified targets successfully" in the drills.
He hailed the Iranian defense industry experts for their success in boosting the range of the anti-radar missiles, and said that the country's scientists worked for 11 years on the project.
The Air Force commander further underlined that the optimized missiles enjoy a 100-percent precision capability, "meaning that they can hit any target with a zero margin of error".
The massive exercises, which have been unique ever since the Islamic Revolution in Iran, started on September 6 and will end later today.
Different plane parts, tools and equipments, ammunitions and tactics have been tested in the four phases of the exercises codenamed "'Fadaeeyan-e Harim-e Vellayat III'.
A wide range of warplanes, including fighter jets, fighter bombers, cargo and transportation planes, are being used in the exercises.
Iran has recently made good progress in the air industry and has succeeded in gaining the technical know-how for producing stealth aircraft, drones, air defense shields and air-to-air, air-to-ground and ground-to-ground missiles.
Oh, swell....
Iran has been at war with the USA (and western nations) for over a decade and has been funding terrorism around the world. It is high time that the US military declared war on Iran.
While the Iranian people deserve freedom, the Iranian government deserves death, if for no other reason than the way they have jailed and executed peaceful protesters.
the su24 really does not have any kind of avionics to seek out radars.
You can always ask the likes of Russia and China to help out with that.
