The ballistic missile, with a range of 2,000 km and a 1,500 kg warhead, was unveiled in a ceremony attended by Defense Minister Mohammad Reza Ashtiani on Thursday morning.
Kheibar’s outstanding features include quick preparation and launch time, which makes the missile a tactical weapon in addition to a strategic one.
“The missile is the result of years of endeavors by Iranian scientists in the Defense Ministry’s Aerospace Industries Organization (AIO). It is equipped with radar evading technology and can pass through the enemy’s air defense systems due to its low radar cross-section,” Ashtiani said in his speech at the unveiling ceremony.
“We are taking steps to equip the armed forces in various areas of missiles, drones, air defense, and so on, and the unveilings will definitely continue in the future,” he added.
The Khorramshahr is a medium-range ballistic missile that was tested by Iran in January 2017. Its range is between 1,000–2000 km with a 1,800 kg warhead and is 13 m in length. (ILKHA)
