Tehran builds new technology from captured US missiles

Iranian armed forces are reverse-engineering US-made Tomahawk missiles recovered during the US-Israeli war to replicate their technology, according to Iran’s semi-official Mehr news agency.

Mehr reported that missiles shot down by Iran’s air defences or those that failed to explode after impact are now being studied by military engineers.

Mehr said some of the Tomahawk missiles were recovered partly intact after their detonation systems failed or were disrupted by Iran’s electronic warfare capabilities.

The agency said Iran is using these missiles to develop its own missile systems.
