BANDAR ABBAS – Iran will send three satellites to the space, said deputy defense minister on Thursday.

‘The satellites are Iran-made and will be put on different orbits,’ said Brigadier-General Qassem Taqizadeh in the ceremony marking joining of two vessels to the Iranian Navy.

Speaking on the country’s deterrence power, he said, ‘Iran has been able to make a surface-to-surface precision missile with the range of 2,000 kilometers.’

He added that Iran uses the scholars of the Defense Ministry, universities and knowledge-based companies for making different equipment.

He also said that the new equipment developed by Iran was used against Daesh (ISIS).

Iran’s deputy defense minister added that the country has gained very complicated achievements in cruise and anti-ship industries, some of which are superior to those of the West.
