Hundreds of drones from the army units are participating in the drill.

“Unites from Ground Force, Air Defense, Air Force and Navy practice real war conditions in the drill with a broad range of drone systems,” deputy commander of Army for operations, Admiral Mahmoud Mousavi said.

“Combat operations exercising in the drill include aerial interception, launch of air-to-air missiles, detonation of ground targets with bombs and missiles with pinpoint accuracy, and employment of suicide drones,” he added.

“The naval drones will also fly from warships in the southern waters, and suicide drones would carry out long-range sorties to practice hitting vital hostile targets deep into the enemy’s airspace with pinpoint accuracy,” Admiral Mousavi emphasized.

He also announced that an exhibition on the sidelines of the drill will display the new achievements of the army in the field of drones.
