IRAN unveiled a new advanced ballistic missile on Sunday highlighting a new feature that could make it more versatile and deadly in a menacing display of sabre-rattling as tensions with the West soar.
new missile is said to be twice as light as earlier models meaning it can be used for greater operational range. The new composite-built engine allows the Ra’d-500 to now reach targets at distances further than 500km, a great improvement from previous iterations that could only reach around 300km. The engine contains carbon fibres not previously used in earlier models like the Fateh 110 missile.
