Iran has developed the first national hypersonic ballistic missile, the commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Aerospace Force, Amir Ali Hajizadeh, revealed today. 

"This new missile will pass all missile defense verification systems, and I don't think there will be technologies capable of resisting it for decades," Hajizadeh told Tasnim news agency.

Iran has developed hypersonic ballistic missiles that can't be countered by any missile defense system.

The military official stressed that the new missile is a solution for the destruction of the enemy's anti-missile systems. The development of such weapons poses a big leap in the country's missile production, according to the commander.

Last week, Iran revealed a new missile, named Sayyad 4B, which is conformant with Iran’s homegrown air defense system Bavar-373, and has a range of 300 kilometers.

With specifications such as its optimized radar and an engine that runs on hybrid solid fuel, a recent test run proved the air defense system's ability to locate the target at a range of more than 450 km and to track it at a distance of around 405 km before detonating it with the new Sayyad 4B.

The range of the detection radar of Bavar 373 increased from 350 to 450 km, whereas its tracking range has risen from 260 to 400 km. The Bavar-373 was first unveiled in August 2019. Iran's long-range air defense system is capable of detecting up to 100 targets, tracking 60, and engaging with six at the same time.

Through Sayyad 4B, the air defense system missiles can be extended up to 300 km alongside an increase in altitude of engagement from 27 to 32 km.

Iran stands its ground that no threat is posed by its military to regional countries, emphasizing that its defense doctrine is founded on deterrence.
