Various units of the Army Ground Forces, including the artillery, armored divisions, airborne units, drone squads, electronic warfare units, and missile groups are participating in the military exercise in Iran’s northeastern regions.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the exercise on Tuesday, Commander of the Iranian Army Ground Force’s Airborne Division General Qassem Khamoushi said the military helicopters equipped with homegrown night-vision systems transferred the special forces of a rapid reaction brigade to the war game zone in a nocturnal heliborne operation.
He noted that the warplanes of the airborne division of the Army Ground Force have also provided aerial support for the troops conducting operations on the ground.
The Army Ground Force’s artillery units also fired Fajr missiles to detonate the targets, designed to simulate the positions of terrorist groups.
During the first stage of the war game on Monday, the Army forces had destroyed hostile targets with Fajr-5 missiles and dropped Qaem bombs with Mohajer-6 drones.
Iran’s Armed Forces hold routine military exercises throughout the year.
Iranian officials have repeatedly underscored that the country will not hesitate to strengthen its military capabilities, including its missile power, which are entirely meant for defense, and that Iran’s defense capabilities will never be subject to negotiations.
