TEHRAN (FNA)- The Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) exercised striking mobile targets with different types of guided air-to-surface missiles during the ongoing air drills in Northwestern Iran.
The IRIAF started the main phase of its four-staged air drills with testing live munitions and missiles earlier today.
Air Force Lieutenant Commander Brigadier General Hossein Chitforoush, who is the spokesman of the 'Fadaeeyan-e Harim-e Vellayat III' air drills, told reporters that during the third stage, Iranian fighter jets are due to use laser-guided and TV signal-guided, thermal and radar-guided missiles to hit mobile targets.
He also added that the Air Force is exercising the basic tactics of "surprise attack" in the drills.
"The Army's Air Force is working on the principle of surprise seriously," Chitforoush stated.
The large offensive air drills started in Northwestern Iran last week.
Different tests on plane equipments, ammunitions and tactics are underway in several phases during the 10-day exercises.
An array of fighter jets, fighter bombers, cargo and transportation planes, including F-4, F-5, Sukhoi SU-24 fighter-bombers, Mig-29 and the logistic C-130 planes, and Saeqeh home-made fighter jets conducted air drill using live munitions.
