After three consecutive failures, Hanos Tehrani-Mojadam boosted the morale of the technical team to continue moving forward with the project.
"Hamid Haji-Esfandiyari", the comrade-in-arms of the killed Tehrani-Moghadam, spoke on the program "The Eternal Man" on Channel 3:
🔹As the project progressed, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps acquired telemetry technology, which allows them to receive and analyze data from missiles during flight. Despite fixing software problems, the second and third tests still failed to achieve their goals.
🔹The relentless workload and the successive failures calmed the morale of the experts. However, the slain Tehrani-Mojadam used his management skills to highlight even minor successes at each stage - such as the successful separation from the launch platform - thus reviving the team's spirit and inspiring them to keep working. 🔹Following the third test, due to high costs and budget limitations, the Minister of Defense at the time refused to approve another test, which caused the project to be delayed for about a year.
🔹In the end, under the leadership of the deceased Tahrani-Moghadam, the technical team identified and solved the roots of the problems. With solemn commitments and guarantees to the Minister of Defense, they secured approval for the fourth test.
🔹 The precise hit of the missile during this experiment marked a turning point, and paved the way for reverse engineering and local development of guidance and control technologies for precision missiles.
