Parachute heliborne operations, night operations, helicopter combat operations, combat and suicide drone operation, as well as constructing a bridge over the Aras River, control of roads, the seizure of heights, and destruction, are on the agenda of the drills.

Military officials say Iranian forces are in the best possible conditions and ready for defense against any possible aggression with the most state-of-the-art home-made equipment.

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 repeatedly stressed that the country will not hesitate to strengthen its military capabilities, including its missile power, which are entirely meant for defense, and that Tehran’s defense capabilities will be never subject to negotiations.
