The 12th edition of the Iran International Aerospace Exhibition kicked off on Iran’s Kish island on December 10.
During the airshow, the Simorgh transport plane was unveiled and flew over the Persian Gulf island.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the event, Defense Minister Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh said the plane has been designed and manufactured by the Defense Ministry and domestic knowledge-based companies.
He noted that the transport plane complies with international standards and regulations.
Simorgh successfully completed its maiden flight in May 2023, a year after it was unveiled.
Authorities say the development of this plane aims to enhance the country's defensive capabilities.
