Iran on Sunday started mass-production of the county's longest-range artillery ammunition in an official ceremony attended by Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi. Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the mass production of Base bleed projectiles in the capital Tehran, Vahidi said the new 130 millimeter advanced artillery shells will be the longest range artillery shells in arsenals of the Islamic Republic's army, Iran's Defense Ministry said on its website. "These ammunitions use solid propellants and act like ballistic missiles," Vahidi added. He also lauded Iranian experts at the arms production division of the country's defense industries for their efforts to modify the base bleed system in order to further enhance the range of the ammunitions from 27 to 42 kilometers. The defense minister also said such achievements demonstrate that sanctions against Iran have been ineffective. Base bleed is a system used on some artillery shells to increase their range, typically by about 30%. Iran on 28 August 2010 started mass-production of the county's longest-range artillery ammunition in an official ceremony attended by Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi.
