Iran's state TV is reporting the country has produced laser-guided artillery shells, capable of hitting moving targets with high accuracy. The Monday report quoting Defense Minister Gen. Ahmad Vahidi also says that the shell was an “intelligent” munition with the capability to identify its own targets. The report was accompanied by footage showing an artillery piece firing a shell, followed by an explosion in the desert. The report does not give details on specifications of the shell. It could not be independently verified. Iran occasionally announces the production and testing of military equipment, ranging from torpedoes to missiles and jet fighters.
