TEHRAN -- The deputy
commander of the Iranian Army’s Ground Force says anti-tank missiles and artillery munitions used by the ground forces have been upgraded to become smart and capable of precision strike.
Speaking to Fars news agency, Brigadier General Nozar Nemati also underlined the extensive capabilities of the Iranian armed forces in the production of different military equipment.
Nemati said head the Army Ground Force Brigadier General Kioumars Haydari has already presented three plans dubbed Labaik (Allegiance) 1, 2 and 3, to the Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Armed Forces Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.
The first plan, called Labaik 1, is aimed at redesigning the structure and mobilization of the armed forces in proportion to present-day operational needs, he said.
“The Iranian Army’s Ground Force is currently implementing Labaik 2 plan, which particularly focuses on arming its troops and involves upgrade of munitions according to the four features of being smart, long-range, precision-strike and uncomplicated for network connectivity,” the top commander added.
Meanwhile, the artillery units of the Army’s Ground Force are working on three areas of observation, fire control and fire power, and have made very good progress in every field.
Nemati said a fire control system specifically designed for ground forces is now operational in all artillery units across the country.
“The system designates the target in the shortest possible time, with the help of reconnaissance drones and ground surveillance devices. It then provides artillery units with the required coordinates
so the latter can determine the direction and range they should fire at,” he said.
General Nemati stressed that the Iranian Army has retired old-generation anti-tank missiles, and the new missiles are capable of striking designated targets within a range of 18 kilometers with pinpoint accuracy.
He also said the new generation of artillery rounds used by the Ground Force enjoys pinpoint accuracy, stating that the domestically-developed military achievement was initially utilized last year and will be employed in forthcoming military drills.
