In remarks on Friday, Brigadier General Amir Hatami said homegrown air-launched cruise missiles are undergoing tests.

A long-range cruise missile is also being developed for arming aircraft, and would hopefully be prepared on schedule, the minister added.

He said the Defense Ministry is seriously pressing on with the development of the new long-range cruise missile, noting that the research project would yield results if it faces no technical obstacle.
