Iran's Defense Ministry has introduced a new domestically-manufactured cruise missile that will significantly improve the deterrence capabilities of the Iranian military forces.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the production line, Defense Minister Brigadier-General Ahmad Vahidi said that the Nasr (Victory) missile was able to eliminate targets of up to 3000 tons.
The short-range cruise missile can be launched from both inland bases and offshore military vessels.
New features will be added to the missile in the near future, he said, making it suitable for launch from helicopters and submarines.
According to the minister, once delivered to Iran's naval forces, the missile would greatly complement the country's defensive power.
