The Air Defense’s great capabilities, its updated equipment and skilled experts have raised Iran’s deterrent power to such level that the enemies and ultra-regional arrogant powers would face serious difficulties if they dared take an aggressive action against the country, the Iranian Armed Forces General Staff said in a statement on the occasion of the Air Defense Day.
It also praised the Air Defense’s successful protection of the country’s airspace.
Back on Saturday, a number of Iran’s homegrown air defense systems, including upgraded radars and electronic warfare equipment, were unveiled in Tehran.
