TEHRAN -- Commander of the Iranian Army Air Defense Force Brigadier General Alireza Sabahifard on Saturday underlined the country’s high military capabilities and deterrence power, saying the Air Defense Force is able to monitor even the slightest movements of enemies within the range of 3,000 km.

“The Air Defense Force of the Islamic Republic of Iran has taken important measures in recent years to increase national security,” Brigadier General Sabahifard stated.

“Today, the Air Defense Force is equipped with detection and identification systems such as radars with a range

of 3,000 kilometers, which is rare in the world,” he noted.

“Now we have reached a point where we proudly announce that all the equipment and systems used in the Air Defense Force of the Islamic Iranian Army are made by genius Iranian youths and we do not use any foreign equipment.”

He warned the enemies any violation of Iranian airspace will be met with a “tough and destructive response”, adding the enemies could never imagine our deterrence power would reach this level.

“If the enemies could hit us, they would make the Islamic Republic of Iran’s airspace unsafe, whereas they never can, and this is due to the deterrence power of the armed forces and the existing military equipment,” Sabahifard said.

The top commander noted Iranian drones can be armed with the required high speed rate to hit the targets.
