As the 43rd anniversary of the victory of iran's Islamic Revolution approaches, Iran is once again unveiling a new ballistic missile.
"Habir Shekan" missile or "tailor-made" for the US military
On the 9th local time, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced a ballistic missile called "Habil Shekan".
The missile is Iran's third generation of strategic long-range missiles, from research and development to manufacturing by the Iranian aerospace department independently completed, the maximum range of 1450 kilometers, the use of solid fuel, compared to similar weapons, weight reduction of one-third, launch preparation time shortened by one-sixth, Iranian media said, it can penetrate Israel's existing anti-missile system.
In response to Iran's latest "killer skill", military expert Chen Haoyang said that although the "Haber Shekan" missile has no obvious breakthrough in terms of range, Iran's standard for the range of the missile is set according to the range of the target it wants to hit. The range of 1450 kilometers is fully capable of covering all of Israel and the Middle East.
Compared with the range, Chen Haoyang pointed out that the performance of this missile is more worthy of attention: compared with Iran's active "Meteor-3" ballistic missile with a range of 1500 kilometers, the "Habil Shekan" has faster mobility and reaction speed, because the missile uses solid fuel, can be refueled in advance, and once the war comes, it can be launched by the enemy first.
"Show Muscle" urges the U.S. to return to the nuclear negotiating table?
Iran has long prioritized missile development, and after more than 20 years of construction, Iran has the most powerful missile arsenal in the Middle East. Major General Mohammad Bagheri, Chief of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, stressed that Iran's missile research and development capabilities are rapid and will continue to improve the quality of missiles and increase the number of missiles in the future.
It is worth noting that on February 8, just one day before the release of the "Haber Shekan" missile, the parties to the JCPOA held the eighth round of negotiations in Vienna on the resumption of U.S.-Iran implementation. Delegates said that the United States and Iran have made limited progress. White House spokesman Psaki also revealed that Biden has asked the team to prepare a contingency plan.
Chen Haoyang said that although the Iranian nuclear negotiations have been carried out for eight rounds, Iran is not satisfied. Iran has demanded that all sanctions against Iraq be lifted, but the United States has only remained verbal and has no concrete action. Therefore, Iran wants to use this new missile as a "diplomatic language" to pressure the United States - the United States has more than 10 military bases in 9 countries around Iran, including Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, etc., stationed about 50,000 people, these US military bases, are within the range of the "Habil Shekan" missile. If the "Iranian nuclear agreement" is ultimately not resumed, and the United States takes the opportunity to wave the military "stick" and economic sanctions at Iran, then the "Haber Shekan" missile is the "sword of Damocles" hanging over the head of the US military.
