Air-to-Air Missile Production Begins

A production line for Fakoor air-to-air missiles opened Monday in the presence of Defense Minister Amir Hatami.

“Many countries import the relevant technology but cannot improve it to make new versions of the missile according to their needs.  Iran as a missile producer has the ability to do so,” said General Hatami, IRNA reported.

“We are living in a world where impudent enemies understand no language but the language of power. There is no way to deal with the enemies except decisive deterrent power,” he said.

Hatami added that hostile powers think they can deprive Iran of its interests and resources, ignorant of the fact that it will resist the bullies and their sanctions.
