Iran unveils upgraded short-range missile

Share:

Iran’s president on Tuesday unveiled an upgraded version of a short-range surface-to-surface ballistic missile just weeks after it was test-fired, the country’s state-media reported.

The missile reflects Iran’s improved military capabilities aimed at “defense” and “deterrence,” Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told a group of defense officials at the ceremony presenting Fateh-110, or Conqueror, according to state TV.

Iran considers both the United States and Israel as potential adversaries. Neither country has ruled out a military strike against Iran’s nuclear program, which they claim is aimed at developing nuclear weapons. Iran says its program is for peaceful purposes.

The official IRNA news agency said in a report Tuesday said the new version of Fateh-110 has a quicker launch capability, a longer life and can be used in adverse weather conditions but gave no other details. The missile has been in service in Iran over the past decade.

Iran claimed earlier in August that it successfully test-fired the missile, saying at the time that Fateh-110 has an improved accuracy to strike land and naval targets within a 300 kilometer (185 mile) range.

Since 1992, Iran has tried to set up a self-sufficient military program.

The country’s military leaders have said they believe future wars will be air- and sea-based and Tehran has sought to upgrade its air defense systems and naval power in anticipation of such a possibility.

Iran has also been pushing to upgrade its missiles, which already can target Israel and U.S. bases in the Middle East. The Pentagon released a report in June noting significant advances in Iranian missile technology, acknowledging that the Islamic Republic has improved the accuracy and firing capabilities of its missiles.

At the ceremony marking the national day of Iran’s defense industry, Ahmadinejad also unveiled several other latest Iranian-made weapons, such as a naval diesel engine, a mortar launcher, a monitoring military intelligence system and tactical SUVs.

    Maybe soon they can join the Space Programme and finally discover that the world isn’t flat, that there could be life elsewhere in the universe, and that the universe is still expanding. 🙂

           That’s why there is no liberation of palestine, and do not blame it on march 14 or march 8.
          The arab countries are sick and tired in dealing with a non ending dilemma. The whole concept of war with israel is diminished to NONE, except few skirmishes; while the war is among arabs. What a plan and your friend mehdi, calls iranian smart!!!, neither iranians, sunnis, shias, salafis, alawis……are smart because they are TOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Busy fighting among themselves and killing themselves. Let’s face it, how many arabs were killed recently on the hands of arabs and how many by israel!!!!Do the math.
          In essence it is OK for arab to kill and slaughter each other and for no cause except tribal feud. The intelligent ones here are the israelis by concocting different views/situations on segments of arabs thru their intelligence apparatus, which is also at your door. Watch what is going to happen in egypt, you think it is over!!! Do you think what happened in sinai was a surprise? israel will deflect any potential unrest and turn it to its advantage. morsi will be busy for a while fighting an internal problem rather than turning his guns on israel.That’s the name of the game.

          no offence (you just told you were an arab 1000%) but i really think arabs are jarabs, but hey we love you anyways because you are muslims. 

          arab jarabs just need to get civilized a bit and it will benefit the entire muslim umma.

        You call the iranians and diaper heads educated!!! When there was an uprise, the citizens were shepherded into their homes just like a herd turning back from a day in the pasture. At least the syrian rebels defied all odds and mounted an offensive on the so-called a “major resistance” power to eradicate israel, yet after 18 month, the syrian regime lost its higher echelon. So I do not know where you get your info? let me guess: iran news agency.

          I am Arab 1000% But Arabs have always back stabbed each other from King Hussein of Jordon back stabbing Nasser of Egypt and Syria in the 67 war to the present day March 14 backstabbing march 8 in 2006 if we all worked as one we would be in a totally different place today.

          im not really aware of which uprising you are talking about. Here is a wild guess: the barbie/zionist/green “revolution”??? Yeah thanks Allah they shepherded into their homes. we dont need another zionist puppet regime in Iran.
          Luckily they are all jailed where they belong.

          Beside what has that fact to do with the fact that persians are more educated than arab jarabs? Sorry to say, but i really fail to see the connection. 

          syrian rebels??? are you kidding? they are pure israHELLI and ameriCANCER-backed terrorists!!! no FREAKIN’ doubt about that!

          major resistence dont need to be in quotation marks because syria is a major resistence power and thats for a fact.
          this is exactly why you hate bashar assad because he fights your brothers, the zionists and the ameriCANCER’s

          Ya rASSoferrari, my name is spelled with an A not E. open your blind eyes and you will see, 

          And yes Moe is my friend, because he is a muslim and i love all my muslim brothers and sisters, no matter if they are persians, pakis, afghanis, SUNNI, shia and even arab jarabs and inshallah once the ISLAMIC AWAKENING is succesfully over and all muslims are united, you will no longer see any killings of musliims – niether by israHELLis/ameriCANCER’S NOR by different muslim sects. 

          when all muslims line up in order to pee israHELL into the mediterranean sea, niether israHELL nor ameriCANCER can back some falafelists to kill muslims.

          and yes the israHELLis are smart people, otherwise they wouldnt be able to survive like another parasite for so long. 

          NEWS-fucking-FLASH: not everything is that rosy in israHELL as you think. I cant even describe how much the jews hate each other. Maybe you can tell us!!

          The only reason why they stick together is because they know they will lose Palestine the minute they start fighting each other. this is why israHELLis are smart.

          But fortunately one muslim country has figured out, that if muslims unite like the jews, the muslims will be powerful as well.
          the name of that country is Islamic Republic of Iran. this is why you hate iran, because you dont want muslims to become powerful. But it is going to happen whether you like it or not. Islamic Awakening is going to turn the jews upside-down!

          when muslims take back what belongs to us, what do you think is gonna happen with the jews? Obviously they are gonna kill each other just like the muslims have done for years. But hey I am not complaining, I will be more than happy when they start killing each other.

        You make me laugh.I do not know when muslims are going to take anything back at the rate they are going, there will be no muslims on earth. Oh wait, I forgot : you have a breeding harem with non stop birth and that’s why life is of no value to you. If ass assad is a true warrior, he should lead and be at the front line, but he is a coward. If this guy is an example of leadership, no wonder why arabs continue to lose wars after wars with israel. Yes israelis have infighting but never turned their guns on each others. May be there is a lesson here.
