“The ballistic missile is capable of entering the atmosphere at a speed that is eight times faster than the speed of sound,” said Major General Hossein Salami, the Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)

Salami made the remarks while speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a military parade that started across Iran in the morning in commemoration of the Sacred Defense Week which remembers the Iraqi-imposed war against Iran from 1980-88.

Salami emphasized that the country is a pioneer in the drone area.

General Salami noted that the missile is a precision-guided and state-of-the-art missile with a medium ballistic range. (ILKHA)
