The two-day drills involve the airborne and ground transfer of combat brigades as well as surveillance and reconnaissance operations using unmanned aerial vehicles and electronic and detection systems.
The exercises also include airborne and offensive operations aimed at destroying the mock enemy’s targets.
Iranian military forces carry out routine drills based on a scheduled time-table in various parts of the country in order to test their equipment and raise their deterrence power.
Iranian military experts and engineers have in recent years made remarkable breakthroughs in manufacturing a broad range of indigenous equipment, making the armed forces self-sufficient.
Iranian officials have made clear that the country will not hesitate to strengthen its military capabilities, including its missile power, which are entirely meant for defense, and that Iran’s defense capabilities will be never negotiable.
