TEHRAN – In a ceremony on Wednesday, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps unveiled 10 overhauled Sukhoi 22 fighter jets which will be equipped with cruise missiles with a range of 1500 kilometers.

Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force, said the pin-pointing air-to-ground cruise missile systems will be mounted on these bombers in the near future.

“After this overhaul, the bomber fighters will be able to carry and use smart and pin-pointing cluster bombs, air-to-ground and air-to-air missiles and transmit data and information from drones from a several-kilometer distance,” Hajizadeh stated in the ceremony in which IRGC chief Mohammad Ali Jafari was also present.
