By Staff, Agencies

Iranian Revolutionary Guards [IRG] Commander Major General Hossein Salami confirmed that “The modern tactics employed in a military drill launched by the IRG Ground Force in southwest Iran attest to its capabilities in fixed and mobile defense on the ground.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the drill, codenamed “Payambar-e Azam 16 [The Great Prophet]”, Salami unveiled that the military exercises involved a combination of modern tactics to hit the enemy’s fixed and mobile targets.

“The IRGC Ground Force has obtained the offense power with the use of all systems and has achieved the fixed and mobile defense power on the ground against the enemies,” the commander added.

The military exercise in the southwestern province of Khuzestan involved various IRG units such as the infantry, commandos, special forces, armored divisions, artillery, missile and drone units, and ground force airborne troops.

Iranian officials have repeatedly underscored that the country will not hesitate to strengthen its military capabilities, including its missile power, which are entirely meant for defense, and that Iran’s defense capabilities will be never subject to negotiations.
