Iran has developed the first domestic hypersonic ballistic missile. This was stated today by the commander of the aerospace forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC, elite units of the Armed Forces) of Iran, Amirali Hajizade, whose words were published by the local Tasnim newspaper.

“This new missile will pass through all missile defense test systems, and I don’t think that for decades there will be technologies that can withstand it,” said Hajizade (quoted by RIA Novosti ).

He noted that this development is aimed at combating enemy anti-missile systems, and also called the creation of the first hypersonic ballistic missile a huge leap in Iran's missile production.

In addition, on Sunday, Iran introduced a new Sayyad 4B missile for the Bavar-373 air defense system. The air defense radar, according to the statement of the Iranian military, is capable of detecting a target at a distance of more than 450 km, and the missile is capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 300 km at a flight altitude of 27 to 32 km. According to Brigadier General Alirez Sabakhifard, the Bavar-373 air defense system, equipped with new missiles, is capable of withstanding 5th generation fighters.
