TEHRAN – Iran is ready to export military equipment and weapons to friendly nations, the commander of the Iranian Army Ground Force said on Tuesday.

Brigadier General Kiomars Heidari said Iran’s army has been able to develop the most advanced UAVs, which are used in long-distance and cross-border reconnaissance, and combat operations, adding that all ranks of the Army’s ground forces are fully self-sufficient. Last week, he had unveiled plans for the establishment of five new military units operating with unmanned aerial vehicles.
