Iran says it has advanced in building missiles able to target enemy radar

General Ali Balali, an Iranian military official, said that Iran has advanced in building missiles capable of targeting enemy radar, citing the Hormoz missile as an example. He noted that such advances demonstrate Iran's growing ability to develop weapons independently rather than replicate existing technologies. The remarks were reported by Mehr News Agency.

Earlier, on November 8, General Balali had said that specialists in the defense industry are currently engaged in reverse engineering of equipment captured from the US enemy. He stated that the reverse engineering of enemy's captured equipment and technologies has been on the agenda since the era of the martyred IRGC Commander Hassan Tehrani-Moghaddam, and this process continues up to the present time. He emphasized that numerous military equipment has been captured from the enemy and is currently being examined and reverse-engineered by specialists and young professionals working in the country's defense industries.

According to Mehr News Agency, General Balali's comments highlight Iran's focus on developing its missile program and defense capabilities. The report did not provide further details on the specific capabilities of the Hormoz missile or the nature of the captured equipment.
