Defence Current Affairs 11 November 2022

Iran Develops Hypersonic Ballistic Missiles

Iran’s Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force Brigadier General Amir-Ali Hajizadeh on Thursday said that the country has developed advanced hypersonic ballistic missiles capable of penetrating air defence systems.
Speaking on the 11th death anniversary of General Hassan Tehrani Moqaddam, Hajizadeh said that IRGC produced advanced hypersonic ballistic missiles to pass through developed air defence systems.
Referring to the details of the hypersonic missile, he highlighted that the missile has a high speed and can manoeuvre both in space and out of it. It targets the enemy’s anti-missile systems and is a major generational leap in the missile-producing sector, he underlined.
Both Iran and Russia are targeted by stringent sanctions — Iran after the US unilaterally pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers, and Russia since it invaded Ukraine in February.
The two countries have responded to the sanctions by boosting cooperation in key areas to help prop up their economies.
