"During
the wargames, other optimized and upgraded weapons for
targeting Cruise missiles as well as Tor-M1 and heavy
fire power artillery systems have been test-fired and
assessed," one of the commanders of IRGC Aerospace
Force General Ezatollah Beigi told FNA.
The
Tor-M1 is a short range, mobile air defense system intended
for engagement of fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, UAVs,
and cruise missiles flying between medium and very low
altitudes even in severe countermeasures environments.
Beigi
added that the IRGC's Aerospace Force has made a wide
use of the necessary techniques and equipments to get
prepared for defending the country against any potential
Cruise attack.
"We
also have the needed systems and equipment for identifying,
tracing and intercepting Cruise attacks," he said,
adding, "And these systems have been tested in the
wargames."
