News - Middle East: The chief commander of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has lauded the country’s remarkable progress in defense missile industry, saying the elite force has acquired the know-how to diversify military systems in various sectors.

Major General Hossein Salami made the remarks on Tuesday on the sidelines of the unveiling ceremony of “Fattah” hypersonic missile manufactured by the IRGC’s Aerospace Force.
Salami underlined that Iran’s leaps and advances in the defense sector, including the missile and drone industries, have been made with the use of advanced technology such as artificial intelligence and technical capabilities in manufacturing sensitive and high-tech components.
“We have acquired the knowledge and technology of diversifying various types of systems ... in different sectors, including the Fattah missile, which is a hypersonic maneuverable missile that can easily change its plan of movement in space and pass through the anti-missile systems,” the IRGC’s chief commander said.
“Such technology is very up-to-date and advanced and unknown to the modern world and to most countries” but our country’s committed experts have achieved it, Salami added.
The Fattah (Conqueror) hypersonic missile was unveiled at a ceremony in Tehran on Tuesday in the presence of Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi, General Salami and Commander of the commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force, Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, as well as a number of Iran's high-ranking military officials.
