World News See other World News Articles Title: Iran Launches Mass Production of Jask Cruise Missiles Along with missile manufacturing, the country's Navy has also disclosed five other military projects it is currently involved in, including the sea-launched Pelikan drone, the Sadaf-2 naval mine, the Soren positioning system, the Balaban guided bomb, and the Loqman training vessel. The Iranian Navy has initiated the mass production of submarine-launched Jask cruise missiles, the chief of the naval warfare service Rear Admiral Hossein Khanzadi said on Saturday. According to Khanzadi the domestically-developed missile will be fitted onto all of Iran's submarines, adding that the current range of the projectile will be significantly improved further on, allowing it to hit targets across long distances. The Navy chief said that the rocket "will surely be a serious surprise for the enemy". Khanzadi noted that the missile had been developed as part of the "Jask-2 project", while another project codenamed "Jask-3" is also underway. The official added that Iran will hold a joint naval military manoeuvre with Russia and China next month. Tensions in the Gulf The announcement about the mass production of the missile comes as Iran is boosting its military capabilities amid restrictions imposed on arms sales to the country by the UN and the EU due to a nuclear programme dispute.
