IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, Nov 29, IRNA -- IRGC aerospace units received a battery of domestically built 100mm anti-aircraft guns on Tuesday.
The medium range gun, called Saeer, operates with high precision compared to its counterparts. The system has been mass produced and delivered to IRGC personnel.
The automatic system is assisted by a radar-optic interception system and could fire at targets without crew intervention, Defense Minister Brigardier General Ahmad Vahidi said.
He underlined that Iran’s defense industry is able to meet the country’s defense needs and Tehran is not afraid of any sanctions.
“The Iranian Armed Forces are ready to defend the country against any possible aggression,” Vahidi added.
The gun is capable of firing 12 to 15 shells per minute.
