Tehran, YJC. Iran’s air force has successfully tested its Qader missile in a series of drills.
Fars news agency reports that the Iranian air force ended its forth
series of exercises called "Fadaeian Harim Velayat” on Saturday.
A special feature of the drills was the testing of Iran’s home-made,
air-based missiles Qader and Nasr. Although they had been previously tested, it
was for the first time they were being used in semi-real situations.
The Spokesman of the exercises Brigadier General Hossein Chitforoush
stated that the missiles can be installed on all sorts of fighters.
He added that changes had also been made to the fighters in order to
increase the missile range.
He further said that flying only one meter above the water, Iranian pilots
keep their aircrafts hidden from radars.
Chitforoush also provided comments on Mirage fighters and said that the
aircraft has been improved for better camouflage and reconnaissance.
