The Iranian regime reiterated this Sunday that it is working in the manufacture of hypersonic cruise missiles. “We are developing cruise missiles capable of traveling at supersonic or hypersonic speeds,” said the commander-in-chief of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, hosein salamiin an intervention at the National Jihadist Festival reported by the official Iranian press.
Salami has stressed that these missiles have the ability to intercept satellites with the help of ground-based radars. “These huge strides are achievements of the Iranian youth. The young Iranian military forces They can attack a moving ship from thousands of kilometers away.he stressed.
The head of the Revolutionary Guard has also referred to the recent wave of civil protests in Iran. “The Americans have chosen this path after realizing that they cannot win militarily,” he argued.
Salami recalled that Washington “has used all its strategic tools against us: first they used Saddam Hussein and his allies and then they have spread the virus of heresy (jihadism) in Muslim countries to keep them under control.” “These plots have been thwarted…so they have embarked on an economic war,” he added.
The only way to deal with the “arrogant powers” It is the “language of force” because “the enemy is strange to the power of logic, but accepts the logic of power.”
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard has already announced the manufacture of its first hypersonic ballistic missile and has stressed that this projectile has the ability to penetrate “sophisticated” anti-aircraft systems.
Commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Aerospace Force, amir ali hajizadehHe stressed at the time that the missile can maneuver below and above the atmosphere and has said that it can penetrate all existing missile defense systems.
“I do not think that any technology can be found in the coming decades that is capable of counteracting it,” he said, while stressing that it is “a great advance” for the Iranian military industry, according to the Iranian news agency. Tasnim.
Last Friday, the regime announced the development of a cruise missile with a range of 1,650 km. “This missile has great speed and can maneuver in and out of the atmosphere. It can attack the enemy’s advanced anti-missile systems and marks a great generational leap in the field of missiles,” said Commander Hajizadeh.
The hypersonic missiles they can fly at least five times faster than the speed of sound and in a complex trajectory, which makes them difficult to intercept.
However, Iran has not been reported to have tested such a missile And while the Islamic Republic has developed a large domestic arms industry in the face of international sanctions and embargoes, Western military analysts claim that Iran sometimes exaggerates its weapons capacity.
Iran has expanded its missile program, particularly its ballistic missiles, in defiance of opposition from the United States and expressions of concern from European countries. Tehran says the program is purely defensive and deterrent in nature.
