Iran test-fires ballistic missile two weeks ago: commander

Xinhua, May 9, 2016 Adjust font size:

An Iranian army commander said Monday that the Islamic republic test-fired a ballistic missile two weeks ago with an "insignificant error margin," Tasnim news agency reported.

"We test-fired a missile with the range of 2,000 km two weeks ago, which had an error margin of eight meters," deputy commander of Iran's armed forces, General Ali Abdollahi, was quoted as saying.

"An eight-meter error margin means no error, means without error," Abdollahi said. "This missile can be guided to out of atmosphere and back to atmosphere, to hit its target with accuracy." Endit
