IRGC Navy to Stage Wargames Soon
TEHRAN (FNA)- The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy Commander said his forces will conduct massive exercises later this year.
Brigadier General Ali Fadavi said the wargames will be completely different from those in the past, but declined to reveal any further detail about the exercises.
He further pointed out that the latest military tools, weapons and equipment produced by Iranian experts will go on test in the future IRGC naval exercises.
"The private sector of the country has also started production of military tools and equipment," the Gen. added.
The IRGCN commander boasted Iran's wide stride in military capabilities, and continued, "The Islamic Republic's military and defensive capabilities cannot be compared to what existed in the past.
"Today no one even dares to pose a threat to the Islamic Republic of Iran, and it's only the United States which shows such foolishness," he concluded.
Iran stages several air, land and sea wargames each year to test its newly produced weapons and equipments.
In the last air drills staged by the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force last week, the country tested different plane equipments, ammunitions and tactics.
Also during the exercises codenamed 'Fadaeeyan-e Harim-e Vellayat III', the Air Force successfully test-fired its Qassed smart bombs. The 2000-pound smart bombs are able to fly a 40km distance and hit the target without pilot's control.
The Air Force also successfully test-fired a home-made anti-radar smart missile, capable of destroying even mobile targets with 100 percent precision.
The air-to-ground missile was fired from a Sukhoi Su-24 fighter jet during the air drills in Northwestern Iran on Thursday and destroyed the target with 100 percent precision.
The Iranian Air Forces (IRIAF) also tested firing laser, thermal and TV-guided missiles with various ranges during the wargames.
Tehran launched an arms development program during the 1980-88 Iraqi imposed war on Iran to compensate for a US weapons embargo. Since 1992, Iran has produced its own tanks, armored personnel carriers, missiles and fighter planes.
Yet, Iranian officials have always stressed that the country's military and arms programs serve defensive purposes and should not be perceived as a threat to any other country.
