Iran initiates production line for air-to-air missiles
Iranian Minister of Defense, Amir Hatami, attended the opening of a production line for the manufacture of air-to-air missiles in Iran. He was keen to make note of the fact that Iran has the capability to not only manufacture the missiles, but also to tweak the technology and mechanics so as to suit the needs of the Iranian military, rather than finding itself in a position which would seeking the technological competence elsewhere. The Faqoor missiles are said to be designed with state-of-the-art technology and successfully passed trials last year.
