Iran Monitors Slightest Aerial Activity
Navideshahed: A senior Iranian commander says the country's Air Force is monitoring the Iranian airspace for any possible activities by other countries.
Brigadier General Farzad Esmaili, who commands the Khatam ol-Anbiya Air Defense Base near the capital Tehran, said on Sunday that Iran is closely watching for the "slightest moves" by forces of other countries, IRNA reported.
Esmaili pointed to the existence of numerous US military bases in Iran's neighboring countries and highlighted Iran's integrated air defense network that can efficiently monitor the country's borders.
He said the Air Force drives off foreign aircraft by warning them about their possible crossing into Iranian airspace.
Esmaili further praised the mass production of the Shalamcheh ground-to-air, mid-altitude missiles, which were officially delivered to the Iranian army at the Khatam ol-Anbiya Air Defense Base by Iran's Ministry of Defense on Sunday.
Shalamcheh missiles will be used to down targets tracked by Mersad air defense systems.
The End
