Irans innovative weaponry to surprise invaders

The commander of Iran's Ground Forces says the country has developed its defense doctrine based on the military capabilities and the 'weak points' of its enemies.

"Iran's armed forces, including the Ground Forces, have managed to develop the necessary weapons to confront any threats and this is achieved through analysis of the enemies' capabilities and weak points," IRNA quoted Ahmad-Reza Pourdastan as saying.

"For example we have found that the enemies suffer weaknesses in conducting operations in close range fighting," he noted.

As a result, the Ground Forces developed "innovative weaponry" in a move, which apart from improving the country's defense capabilities has boosted the Iranian service members' morale, Pourdastan said.

The commander concluded that Iran's modern arsenal "will inflict serious damage" upon any aggressor.
