Iran tests new Sejjil-2 missile with success
Wed, 16 Dec 2009 10:59:04 GMT

Iran has successfully tested an optimized version of the solid-fuel Sejjil-2 deterrent missile as part of its long-term plans to defend the country's borders.

The high-speed surface-to-surface, which was launched on Wednesday morning, has been designed and built by the Iranian Ministry of Defense.

Back in May, Iran tested the initial version of the two-stage Sejjil-2 missile.

The Sejil-2 has a longer range than the Shahab-3 missile, which can reach targets up to 2-thousand kilometers away.

The deterrent system was built as part of an effort to design a more accurate and swift missile than previous Iranian-made models.

This new version of the Sejjil-2 is faster during the powered flight portion of its trajectory and also during the re-entry phase.

It is also harder to detect for anti-missile systems, as it is covered with anti-radar material.

The new highly maneuverable missile is also more efficient as it requires less amount of time for prelaunch preparations. This quality reduces the possibility of it being targeted prior to take off.
