On Tuesday, Iran started five days of nationwide air defense war games, entitled Defenders of the Skies of Velayat 3, in order to improve its defense capabilities.
Arjangi, who is the spokesperson for the war games, told reporters that the two upgraded missiles are equipped with electro-optic devices and laser distance measurers.
The missiles, which cannot be affected by any kind of electronic jamming, are able to hit targets up to 10,000 feet away, he added.
Commenting on the new upgraded Mersad medium-range missiles, which were test-fired on Thursday, he said the missiles can track and destroy advanced aircraft at low and high altitudes.
The new generation of Mersad missiles can also be used in electronic warfare, Arzhangi stated.
Elsewhere in his remarks, he said, “Special anti-cruise missile systems will become operational today (Friday).”
In addition, Iran’s anti-aircraft artillery batteries successfully hit mock warplanes on Friday.
