TEHRAN, Nov 11 (NNN-IRNA) – A senior commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), said yesterday that, the country has built a hypersonic ballistic missile, that is capable of penetrating “all missile defence systems.”
“The missile has a high velocity and can manoeuvre both in and out of the Earth’s atmosphere,” Iran’s Press TV network quoted Amir-Ali Hajizadeh, the commander of the IRGC’s Aerospace Division, as saying.
“The new missile can pass through all missile defence systems,” he said, adding, “I don’t think any technology, capable of countering it, will be achieved in the decades to come.”
“It can target the enemy’s anti-missile systems, and its production marks a huge leap in the development of a new generation of missiles,” Hajizadeh noted.– NNN-IRNA
