Short-, medium- and long-range missiles
will be fired, specially the Khalij-Fars, Sejil, Fateh,
Ghiam, and Shahab-1 and -2 missiles," he said.
The General, whose force carries out wargames
each year in the Persian Gulf region, said the latest
exercises were "a message of peace and friendship
to the countries of the region".
Hajizadeh did not mention how long the
maneuvers will last.
Iran has made giant progress in missile-production
technology during the last decade.
Late in May, the Iranian Defense Ministry
supplied large numbers of 'Qiyam (Rise) 1' high-precision
ballistic missiles to the IRGC Aerospace Force.
At the ceremony, Iranian Defense Minister
Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi said that mass-production
of Qiyam 1 missiles indicated Tehran's self-sufficiency
in producing different types of missiles.
Referring to the detailed features and
specifications of the newly mass-produced ballistic missile,
Vahidi said that Qiyam 1 is the country's first finless
missile.
The minister added that the very special
design of the missile makes its detection by radars and
air defense systems difficult.
He said that omission of the fins from
the design has increased the velocity of the missile and
shortened the launch time.
In February, Commander of the Islamic
Revolution Guards Corps Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari
announced that the IRGC has started mass-production of
a recently-developed smart anti-ship ballistic missile.
"The IRGC's smart ballistic missiles
are now in mass-production and this type of missiles can
hit and destroy targets with high-precision," Jafari
told reporters in a news conference here in Tehran in
February.
"These new missiles enjoys supersonic
speed and cannot be tracked or intercepted by enemy,"
the commander said, adding that missiles can hit targets
300km away with high-precision.
The Iranian Defense Ministry in October
delivered the third generation of home-made Fateh-110
high-precision ballistic missiles to the IRGC Aerospace
Force.
