Iran’s ground force tests different kinds of remote-controlled missiles in massive war games launched Saturday
Brigadier General Mohammad Hassan Dadras, commander of Iran`s ground force, boasted Iran’s military capability has been boosted to such a high level that no air force from its neighboring borders is capable of confronting the army of the Islamic Republic.
The five-week land, sea and air maneuvers, named the Blow of Zolfaghar (the sword used by Imam Ali), involves army Chinook helicopters, unmanned planes, parachutists, electronic warfare units and special forces. State-run television reported a new anti-aircraft system was tested “to make Iranian air space unsafe for our enemies.”
The massive military exercise will spread over 14 of Iran’s 30 provinces.
