26 Aug 2014 - 18:15


TEHRAN (Tasnim) � Iran�s Army ground forces are scheduled to stage special exercises involving military unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the near future, a high-ranking commander announced.
Lieutenant Commander of Iran�s Army Ground Force General Kiomars Heidari said on Tuesday that the specialized drone wargame will take place in the Iranian month of Aban (October 23- November 21).



The commander also praised the country's high degree of military preparedness to counter potential threats, stressing that Iranian armed forces are able to target and demolish the enemy�s equipment that are used for long-range confrontations.

He underlined that any possible military action by the US against Iran will ensnare the American forces and their allies in an �ambush� that would lead to their ultimate annihilation.

In comment on Sunday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani underlined that Iran�s military industry is aimed at to safeguarding the country and deterring the enemy from invasion.

�If the enemy makes any mistakes, we will stand up to defend ourselves and will utilize our defensive equipment, since this is our moral right and is deemed a legitimate defense under the legal and religious criteria,� Rouhani stressed.

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.

Tehran has always assured other nations that its military might poses no threat to the regional countries, saying that the Islamic Republic�s defense doctrine is entirely based on deterrence.
