TEHRAN, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- Iran's defense ministry on Sunday launched the production line of homegrown ballistic missile of "Zolfaqar," Tasnim news agency reported.
The tactical missile, which is capable of evading jamming signals in electronic warfare, will come into service by the end of the current Iranian year, in March 2017.
