The commander of the Iranian Army's Air Defense Force has announced plans for his unit to manufacture advanced long-range military equipment to deal with potential threats.

“Concordant with potential threats and possible challenges ahead, the production of advanced long-range radar, missile and drone equipment is definitely on the agenda of the Army’s Air Defense Force this year,” Brigadier General Alireza Sabahi-Fard said on Wednesday.

He also emphasized that the current “full control” over the country’s air borders manifests “the careful observation and monitoring” performed by engineers and specialists in thousands of air defense points across the country.

The round-the-clock endeavors by the Iranian air border guards ensure peace for the citizens, Sabahi-Fard added.

He also said the Army’s Air Defense Force is “well-developed today, [and] this growth and power came about thanks to the will and efforts of the youth in various fields of air defense sciences.”
