Iran has unveiled a new cruise missile as part of efforts to beef up its military might amid continued threats against the country.
The unveiling happened at a drone exhibition of the Iranian Army during a visit by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mohammad Bagheri on Saturday.
The missile dubbed Heydar has a range of 200 kilometers. The projectile hits the target at a speed of 1,000 kilometers per hour.
Heydar is the first Iranian cruise missile that can be fired by a drone. It can be launched by Fotros and Arch-22 UAVs.
Iran has taken long strides in drone and missile capabilities over the past years.
