"The latest
achievements in defense and military fields will be put
on display during the Farvardin 29 (April 18) parades,"
Commander of the Iranian Army Major General Ataollah Salehi
said here in Tehran today.
He further
stressed the Iranian Armed Forces' capabilities, and said
that the Army has fully acquired the necessary know-how
for the production of all its needed tools and weaponries.
"We have
been able to defuse and deter enemy threats," Salehi
noted.
The Iranian
Army has recently test-fired different types of newly-developed
missiles and torpedoes and tested a large number of its
home-made weapons, tools and equipments, including submarines,
military ships, artillery, choppers, aircraft, UAVs and
air defense and electronic systems, during massive military
drills.
Defense analysts
and military observers say that Iran's wargames and its
advancements in weapons production have proved as a deterrent
factor, specially at a time of heightened threats by the
US.
