Brigadier General Mohebbi emphasized that the Aerospace Force of the Revolutionary Guard had achieved what he described as a historic revolution, moving from the stage of importing weapons to manufacturing and exporting them, noting that Iranian aerospace technology had surpassed its counterpart among the enemy.
Mohibi added that the Shahed 136 drone is now being copied in most countries of the world, even in the United States, where it is produced and used under different names.
He explained that the products of the Iranian Aerospace Force have reached a large number of countries, including the “Arman” missile, the “358” drone, and the “Khordad 3” air defense system.
He pointed out that giving missiles priority in development and production enabled Iranian forces to withstand hostile equipment, stressing that this path had a direct impact on strengthening defense capabilities.
Mohebbi pointed out that his forces shot down seven MQM-170 reconnaissance drones intact during the past week or two, considering this clear evidence of Iranian technological superiority.
He also said that the Aerospace Force of the Revolutionary Guard was able, after the Twelve Days War, to target 260 enemy aircraft.
Mohebbi added: “If we ever feel that the enemies of the Iranian people want to pose a threat, we will deal with it forcefully through asymmetric operations, and we will unveil amazing achievements in the field of aviation and space in the event of a third wave of conflict.”
He concluded: "Iran's missile force will defend the country's existence without geographical limitations."
