pointed to the Ground Force’s recent wargames codenamed Qamar-e
Bani Hashem, and said, “In the recent wargames, the Ground Force’s
new anti-tank rockets and the new weapons supplied to the Ground Force
by the Defense Ministry were successfully tested.” He also reiterated that the missile has been equipped with a special guiding system (which is resistant to different types of enemy's electronic warfare), a warhead and a missile-launcher and a portable engine-propeller. "The missile system has been designed in a way that it can hit both fix ground targets and mobile armored targets," Vahidi said. |
