TEHRAN (ISNA) - Iran inaugurated production line of Cruise sea missile dubbed "Qader."

The production line was handed to Iranian army and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Naval Forces in a special ceremony attended by Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi.

"Qader" (Able) missile was mass-produced in the shortest possible time.

"Some western media had claimed that the missile is a foreign model and Iran possesses only one of it. They tried to overshadow the success through spread of rumors," Vahidi said.

The Defense Minister added, "The missile with the range of 200 km and swift reaction is able to hit sea targets including war boats and ships as well as coastal targets."

The light missile is able to fly in low altitudes, destroy with high power and hit missiles exactly. It is able to shoot from the coast and crafts of different classes.
