Sayyari said the drills will include operations by different watercraft, including vessels and submarines, as well as exercises focusing on the technological, electronic warfare and missile capabilities.

He also noted that "Velayat" naval war game is scheduled for the end of the Iranian year (to end on March 19, 2016).

Elsewhere in his comments, the top commander said his forces are manufacturing new Paykan-class rocket launching warships, as well as Qadir and Fateh-class submarines.
