The advantage of this missile is not limited to its unprecedented performance in the world. It is not only in the field of aviation, but also in the achieved solutions. In its development, modern science and technology were used.
During the initial stage of development of this missile and in the preparation of development documents, its designers saw that many of the main technical solutions adopted in the field of missile development by navy can be integrated and applied to missile production. The new missile, which is 5 times the weight and size of its navy counterparts. This is what gave us this. Firstly, by giving this missile a unique flight and flight capability, and secondly, by reducing the missile’s development time without losing its reliability. systems and components.”
