Iran deploys new air defense system with supersonic missile
Iranian air forces said the tests of the new air defense system Mersad equipped with Shahin missiles were accomplished successfully. Meanwhile, the countrys nuclear industry boasts to have enriched over 50kg of uranium.
The Mersad system equipped with Shahin missiles is capable of tracing and targeting any aircraft at a 70 to 150km range and is considered a medium-range system, as reported by Iranian FARS news agency. Besides, the Mersad system comes with an advanced radar signal processing technology, a modern launcher and electronic targeting and guidance systems.
The ground-to-air Shahin missile, tested back in April this year, is able to hit enemy jet fighters and helicopters at supersonic speed.
Mersad systems were supplied to the country's air defense units on Sunday.
