TEHRAN, Iran, Aug 7 (NNN-IRNA) – Iran’s armed forces, on Tuesday, unveiled two home-made precision-guided smart bombs and a missile, Press TV reported.
The bombs, named “Yasin” and “Balaban” and a new series of the “Ghaem” missiles, were unveiled during a ceremony, in the presence of Iranian Defence Minister, Amir Hatami.
“Balaban” has folding wings designed to increase its range, Hatami said.
It is guided by GPS and sensors, and could be mounted under aircraft, he added.
Hatami described “Yasin” as a long-range smart, guided bomb, that can be fired from a range of 50 kilometres at its target, from manned or unmanned aircraft.
He said that, “Ghaem” is also a missile to be used for precision strikes, and could hit within 50 centimetres of a target.
“Ghaem” is equipped with different visible, thermal and cylindrical seekers and can be installed on various drone, helicopters and fighter jets, to annihilate their targets, he added.
The Iranian minister said, “the defence ministry will never hesitate to defend Iran and boost security, despite the malice and conspiracies hatched by the United States.”– NNN-IRNA
