Iran unveiled a new ballistic missile Etemad. IRNA informed on February 2.
Translated from Persian, Etemad means “trust.” The new missile is capable of covering distances of up to 1,700 kilometers. The missile was presented during a ceremony in Tehran attended by President Masoud Pezeshkian.
The Etemad is the latest ballistic missile developed by Iran’s Ministry of Defense. It is 16 meters long and 1.25 meters in diameter. It is equipped with a guided warhead that can steer the missile until the moment of impact.
