Attended by commander of the drills, Brigadier General Ahmad-Reza Pour-Rasaam, the drills entered their third phase early Friday.
Iranian Army carried out heavy artillery fire, coordinated offensives by infantry and armored units, and heliborne operations by the 55th Airborne Brigade in the last phase of drills.
The Army also tested direct-fire and artillery simulators as well as smart surface-to-surface missile simulators during the second phase maneuvers on Thursday.
“Unveiling these simulators will lead to savings in ammunition, optimal use of efficient human forces, and reduction of potential casualties and material damages in [any] future wars,” Deputy Commander of the Iranian Army's Ground Forces, Second Brigadier General Hossein Shokouhi said on Thursday.
The simulators will also provide a comprehensive analysis of the Iranian Army’s fire efficiency and precision-targeting, he added.
The three-day drills started on Wednesday with the participation of various units of the Iranian Army's Ground Forces to test a multitude of indigenous weapons and military equipment, including armored personnel carriers, sniper rifles, anti-aircraft batteries and missile launchers.
Over the past few years, Iran has held several military exercises to enhance the defense capabilities of its armed forces and to test modern military tactics and equipment.
