Lieutenant Commander of Khatam ol-Anbia Air Defense Base Brigadier
General Alireza Sabahifard said that the drills are in line with the
mission of the air defense unit for defending the Islamic Republic of
Iran's vital national interests and national security.
He said that the drills will cover an area about 50,000 square kilometers, and will include radar, missile, wiretapping and artillery phases. Sabahifard noted that drills will comprise exercising operational plans and assessing the air defense systems. The commander said that a study of the effects of civil defense capabilities on the country's defensive power in operational zones and sustainability in battlefield, and assessment of the Iranian air defense unit's capability in electronic warfare are among the other objectives of the drill. In February, Iranian Army and Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) reviewed their latest air defense tactics during the drills in the Southern province of Bushehr. Iran's Air Defense Unit conducted massive air defense drills, codenamed 'Sarallah', in the country's Southern regions to test and assess the latest versions and productions of home-made radar and missile defense systems. | |||
