Iran has developed a newer generation Shihab surface-to-surface missile which has a longer range than its predecessors, Iranian defense officials announce. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad confirms reports that his country now possesses a missile that exceeds the capabilities of the Shihab series missiles.
According to Iranian officials, the development of the new longer-range missile was so successful; it will lead to the suspension of continued work on the earlier Shihab models, which are now viewed as irrelevant.
The new Sijil missile is reported to have a 1,200 mile (2000km) range. It is rated as extremely fast and is capable of carrying a non-conventional warhead.
