The Philippine Star

TEHRAN (Xinhua) - Iran unveiled two home-made missiles and two drones on Sunday in a ceremony attended by President Hassan Rouhani.

Qadir (Almighty) missile, with a range of 300 km, is used for destroying marine targets. It can be either launched from sea vessels or by other missile systems, according to official IRNA news agency.

Nasr-e-Basir (Astute Victory) cruise missile carries a searching head, and operates silently and smartly, said the report without detailing on the range of the Nasr-e Basir.

Also, Iran launched two drones named Karrar 4 (Striker 4) and Mohajer 4 (Immigrant 4). Karrar 4 is an interceptor of flying objects and Mohajer 4 provides aerial maps for military and civilian purposes. No further details were given by the report.

In June, Iran unveiled a long-range radar system to enhance its air defense. The radar system, also dubbed Qadir, had a range of about 1,100 km and could monitor its surrounding radius round the clock and detect small three dimensional targets.
