Iran to hold massive air defense drill
Iran says it is planning a massive air defense drill covering about half of the country, the Tasnim news outlet reports.
The drill will begin tomorrow and test the country’s combat readiness for air attack. It will involve “homegrown missile systems, radars, electronic warfare equipment, and communication systems countering aerial threats,” according to the report.
Fighter jets and drones will also be deployed.
The UN recently allowed an arms embargo on Iran to expire, leading to worries that it may attempt to purchase Russia’s advanced S-400 air defense system.
