Regarding Qaem optic smart bomb, Hatami said: "It is equipped with visible, heat and cylinder seekers, which will be installed on various kinds of unmanned planes, choppers, and fighters for destroying fortifications and the targets on movement. 

"The long-range guided Yasin bomb is capable of hitting over the 50-km target," he continued.

He added that Balaban smart bomb has folding wings for increasing range and also GPS/INS navigation system for boosting its precision to be installed under an airplane.
