Iran's defense minister says the country has developed a new artillery system that can fire 4,000 shells per minute, allowing it to target cruise missiles.
Brig. Gen. Ahmad Vahidi told Fars news agency on Sunday that Iran's defense ministry experts are working on different defensive projects to produce short-range, mid-range and long-range air defense systems.
The minister further explained that the new system can also confront other threats that fly at low altitudes.
"The system will be officially unveiled in the near future," he added.
Last month, Vahidi declared that Iran plans to produce missile defense systems similar to Russia's S-300 system.
Asked if Iran has plans to produce an S-300 defense system, the Iranian defense minister said, "We don't need to produce the S-300 system, but we have plans to produce similar weapons."
