Commander of the Iranian Army's Ground Forces Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan said, “The Ground Forces have recently received new anti-armor missiles that feature high capabilities and are specifically used to [target] tanks equipped with reactive armor and are therefore resistant to usual missiles”.

The commander said that the army has also received recently-produced military equipment, including ground surveillance radar systems as well as two types of tactical vehicles, which have significantly increased the country’s defense capabilities.

Pourdastan added that a number of the latest military equipment, including personnel carriers, was also tested during the recent Beit-ul-Muqaddas 25 drills held in the central province of Isfahan.

In recent years, Iran has made great achievements in its defense sector and attained self-sufficiency in producing essential military equipment and systems.

The Islamic Republic has held several military drills to enhance the defense capabilities of its armed forces and to test modern military tactics and equipment.
