Iran tests ‘Noor’ missile

TEHRAN, April 06 (Online): Iran had successfully test-fired a "top secret" missile, the third within a week, state-run television reported.

The report called the missile an "ultra-horizon" weapon and said it could be fired from all military helicopters and jet fighters.

"Today we have successfully tested a new air-to-sea-and-ground missile capable of being fired from planes and helicopters, which can evade anti-missile missiles," war games spokesman Rear Admiral Mohammad Ebrahim Dehqani said.

"The missile, which is labelled Noor, has a tremendous destructive ability and has an antenna in its warhead which gets activated near the target," he added. Dehqani said like the other missiles, which have been test-fired during the manoeuvres, it was built by Iranians.

End.
