The new equipment came into the Ground Force’s possession in a ceremony attended by commander of the force, Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan in Tehran.

The weapons included an automated 23 mm cannon, equipped with stabilizer and mounted on the BTR personnel carrier.

Another weapon was a self-propelled 155 mm cannon, dubbed “Hoveizeh”, in addition to its spare parts.

The other products included a disposable single-barrel 107 mm missile launcher, dubbed “Karkheh”, and a disposable 122 mm rocket launcher, named “Bostan”.

“Dehlaviyeh” anti-armor laser-guided missile and 3 F-class tank carrier vehicles were among the other equipment that the Ground Force received in the ceremony.

The Iranian military experts and technicians have in recent years made great headways in manufacturing a broad range of indigenous equipment, making the armed forces self-sufficient in the arms sphere.

Iran has already made it clear that its military might poses no threat to the regional countries, saying that the Islamic Republic’s defense doctrine is entirely based on deterrence.
