Alwaght- The Iranian Army’s Ground Forces have successfully test-fired several new rockets during a major military drill in the central parts of the Islamic Republic.
Domestically-manufactured short-range N-6 and N-10 Naze'at and Fajr 5 rockets were successful test-fired during a two-day military exercise codenamed Beit-ul-Muqaddas 28 in the desert area of central province of Isfahan on Sunday.
The two N-10 missiles fired on Sunday morning had a range of 140 kilometers. The Ground Force’s experts have upgraded the latest generation of Naze’at ballistic missile, which has improved capabilities, including longer range, higher precision strike capability, and stronger destruction power. It can be launched from mobile pads, a unique characteristic compared with similar class missiles.
Speaking before the opening of the drill, Iranian Army’s Ground Forces Commander Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan said Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic are fully prepared to counter any act of aggression by enemies.
“The enemies are bent on dealing a blow to the [Islamic] establishment and we will never let this happen through our full military and defensive preparedness,” Iranian Army’s Ground Forces Commander Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan said.
The commander said the Iranian forces’ high capabilities made the United States change its strategies and pursue its objectives by strengthening Takfiri groups which are financially supported by certain regional countries.
Pourdastan said the Iranian Army’s Ground Forces stand by the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) not only inside the country but in its advisory mission in Syria.
“ISIS and Takfiri groups are our small enemies and the US and the Israeli regime are our main enemies,” Pourdastan said.
The commander emphasized that the Iranian Armed Forces would display their might in the face of any possible threat or invasion by enemies.
He said the maneuver conveys the message of peace and friendship to regional countries.
The Iranian Army’s Ground Forces successfully held Beit ul-Muqaddas 27 war game in Isfahan Province in May 2015.
