As the Iranian Armed Forces staged countrywide military parades to mark the Sacred Defense Week, a series of new homegrown military equipment, including ballistic missiles and drones, were unveiled in Tehran on Saturday morning.
One of the latest achievement was a ballistic missile developed by the IRGC Aerospace Force.
The ‘Jahad’ missile runs on liquid fuel and has a range of 1,000 kilometers.
A total of 21 ballistic missiles were put on display during the parade, including Khaybar-buster, Fattah, Hajj Qassem, Qadr-H, Emad, Khorramshahr, Sejjil and Jahad.
The Iranian Armed Forces also unveiled a number of military drones in the parade, including Shahed-136B.
Shahed-136B is a suicide drone manufactured by the IRGC Aerospace Force.
The Shahed-class drones have been manufactured in combat, reconnaissance and suicide versions.
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 maintains that its military might poses no threat to the regional countries, saying that the Islamic Republic’s defense doctrine is entirely based on deterrence.
