Iran’s domestically-designed and manufactured ballistic missile Qadr.
Deputy Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Hossein Salami said on Monday that Iranian missiles enjoy high precision against point targets, and they are capable of targeting moving vessels in the sea.
 
He added that the indigenous projectiles can also detect radiation that could be used against centers of command and control.
 
Salami further noted that Iran has become self-sufficient in the production of surface-to-surface missiles.
 
On October 1, Head of the Aerospace Industries Organization of Iran's Defense Ministry Seyyed Mehdi Farahi said that the Islamic Republic plans to increase the range of Iranian air-launched missiles to 300 kilometers.
 
He termed the development and production of anti-aircraft missiles as highly challenging and demanding.
 
Farahi stated that his organization is seeking to boost the precision of missiles and their radar-evading capability, install them on unmanned aerial vehicles, tactically connect them to Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) systems, increase missiles durability and make them smart.
 
In recent years, Iran has made great achievements in its defense sector and has attained self-sufficiency in producing essential military equipment and systems.
 
Tehran has repeatedly assured other nations that its military might poses no threat to other countries since the Islamic Republic’s defense doctrine is based entirely on deterrence.
