Tehran : The Supreme Leader’s top advisor for armed forces affairs, Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi has said that Iran is capable of firing a series of surface-to-surface Sejil missiles.
The new generation of surface-to-surface missiles called ‘Sejil’ has increased the defence capability of the Iranian armed forces in dealing with any threats, he said here Sunday.
The two-stage missile uses combined solid fuel and has a high speed which enables the Iranian armed forces to fire a series of them simultaneously if needed, he said.
It is the legitimate right of every nation to gain access to advanced technologies to defend its territory, he said.
Some countries in the southern parts of the Persian Gulf are among top purchasers of weapons in the world but Iran, with reliance on its military experts, has developed indigenous technology to defend itself against threats posed by the US and the Zionist regime, he added.
