Iran to Test Fire 3 New Missiles

MOSCOW, March 9 (RIA Novosti) - Iran’s army will test-fire three new types of missiles during an upcoming military drill, a top military commander said on Saturday.

The missiles, which have undergone lab tests, will be test-fired by the end of the current Persian calendar year (ending on March 20, 2013), Ground Forces deputy chief Gen. Kiomars Heidari was quoted by Press TV as saying.

During the exercise, which will take place in central Iran, missile units “will be used in massive combat and operational tactics,” he said.

Heidari did not provide any specifications for the new missiles.

On February 10, Iran successfully tested the Fakour air-to-air missile and on December 31, 2012 the Ra’d (Thunder)surface-to-air missile, the agency said.
