Iran Army Air Defense Force receives indigenous equipment

Iran Army Air Defense Force in eastern Iran was equipped with Indigenous radar, missile, and drone systems on Wednesday.

The equipment joined the Army unit on Wednesday morning in the presence of the commander of the Iranian Army’s Air Defense Force Brigadier General Ali Reza Sabahifard.

Emphasizing that the measures taken to improve radar, missile, and drone capabilities are in line with the perceived and emerging threats, Sabahifard added that generating power to deal with all kinds of threats is on the serious agenda.

On Tuesday, Deputy Commander of the Iranian Army’s Air Defense Force Brigadier General Alireza Elhami said that the Islamic Republic’s Army unit is set to receive new equipment.

The production of ground-based equipment and up-to-date missile systems with a longer range are on our agenda, he added.

He further stressed that the Air Defense Force unit of the Iranian Army updates and prepares itself and increases its power in different fields including the field of drones, radars, and information-gathering systems.

A lot of equipment is ready to join the combat section of the Air Defense Force, and there might be a joining ceremony for the joining of new equipment during Air Defense Week, according to him.

“We are 100% self-sufficient and we are not dependent on foreign equipment, and the security of our air borders is not dependent on foreign countries.”
