Iran plans to inaugurate a new production line for cruise missiles in the near future, defence minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi announced on 7 April.
During a visit to Kermanshah in western Iran, Vahidi said: "Iran's Defence Ministry will unveil important arms, marine, aerospace and electro-optic achievements in the new Iranian calendar year." The new Iranian year started on 21 March.
According to Iran's FARS news agency, the Iranian Navy has successfully test-fired missiles "mounted with laser technology" with ranges from 45 km to 300 km.
The latter figure probably refers to the new Khalij Fars antiship variant of the Fatah A-110 tactical ballistic missile, which was revealed in February 2011.
The FARS report did not elaborate on the role played by laser technology in these missiles, which could be a reference to inertial navigations systems based on laser-gyroscope technology.
