Iranian Military Spokesman said:"We have optimized a type
of medium-range missile and today we shot one of these missiles which is
designed by domestic technicians and fortunately, they hit the targets
successfully."
The Iranian Deputy Commander of Air Forces said on

radars. Iran claimed it has test-fired a missile that was not detectable by
radar that can use multiple warheads to hit several targets simultaneously.

personnel carriers, missiles and a fighter plane, according to the government.
It announced in early 2005 that it had begun production of torpedoes.
