Iranian general boasts of ballistic missiles

The deputy commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards says the IRGC possesses a type of sophisticated ballistic missile that only Russia and the US may have.

“We possess a unique ballistic missile that, perhaps, only Russia and the US have, and it is almost impossible to counter this missile,” Brigadier General Hossein Salami is quoted by Tasnim, an Iranian news agency, as saying in a television talk show.

There are “no limits to launching whatever number of missiles at the targets” when necessary, says Salami.

He also points out that Iran made great progress in developing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and says the IRGC has a drone with a range of 3,000 kilometers.
