Iran Press/ Iran News: Speaking to reporters during the ceremony, Brigadier General Mohammadreza Ashtiani, Iran's Defense Minister, shed light on the technical and tactical aspects of the Abu Mahdi long-range cruise missile. He underscored that the induction of this sophisticated weapon aligns with Iran's defense doctrine and aims to enhance its maritime defense capabilities significantly.
According to him, the Abu Mahdi missile system is a strategic and unparalleled addition to Iran's arsenal, boasting an impressive range of 1000 kilometers, a substantial upgrade from previous maritime defense capabilities. General Ashtiani emphasized that the missile's pinpoint accuracy, formidable destructive power, and capability to navigate geographical obstacles at low altitudes set it apart from conventional systems.
Notably, the Abu Mahdi missile is equipped to confront electronic warfare and evade radar detection, utilizing artificial intelligence to chart its optimal flight path. With mass production of this cutting-edge system, Iran will gain the ability to target enemy mobile sea assets from its homeland's grounds and vessels and concealed locations, enabling swift and decisive elimination of adversary ships, frigates, and destroyers.
The Minister of Defense attributed the successful development of this advanced missile to the collaborative efforts of diligent scientists, specialists from the Ministry of Defense and Defense Industry, and key military branches such as the General Staff of the Armed Forces, the Naval Forces and the IRGC Navy. The concerted efforts of these entities, along with contributions from Iran's knowledge-based companies, have resulted in a formidable weapon that promises to bolster the nation's defense prowess.
Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Ashtiani reaffirmed Iran's commitment to innovation and localization in supporting its armed forces. These advancements, he emphasized, are aligned with Iran's pursuit of peace, friendship, and regional stability, aiming to safeguard the security of the region.
The addition of the Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis long-range cruise missiles to Iran's naval forces heralds a new chapter in the nation's maritime defense capabilities, solidifying its commitment to ensuring peace and security in the region.
