Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has unveiled its latest loitering munition and missile defence system during the ongoing “Great Prophet 19” military drills which many believe is aimed to show off Iran's ability to respond to and defend against an attack from outside the country.
On Thursday, the Iranian Army announced that it will be equipped with 1,000 new drones which were designed and manufactured jointly by the IRGC and the Ministry of Defence.
The drone, called “Rezvan”, with a range of 20 kilometers and an endurance of 20 minutes, is designed for rapid deployment and targeted attacks, particularly in complex terrain, according to Iranian media report referring to the IRGC.
"Our drones carried out several rounds of firing and drone operations, and in our scenario, we successfully destroyed hypothetical enemies and terrorists attacking Iranian bases," said Mohammad Pakpour, the commander of the IRGC Ground Forces, on the sidelines of the exercise in the Azgeleh region in the western Kermanshah province.
Two days ago, the so-called “358 missile defence system” was unveiled during the air-defence exercise, codenamed Eqtedar (Authority) 1403 that was arranged in the air perimeter of the Natanz nuclear plant.
IRGC Commander Major General Hossein Salami said various real-world scenarios were designed and implemented during a large-scale military exercise to protect the strategic nuclear facility located in Iran’s central province of Isfahan.
“We tried to perform what we could expect from the enemies in case of in real war conditions,” he stated and added that “quite valuable achievements” were gained.
