Iranian army announces large-scale drone drill

Iran’s army is set to hold a “joint and large-scale” drone drill with its different divisions primarily in central Iran tomorrow, the state news agency IRNA reports.

The two-day drill will involve “hundreds of operational drones of the army’s ground, air and navy forces in the general area of Semnan [province] and different parts” of the country, IRNA says.

The Iran-manufactured drones will undertake “combat, surveillance, reconnaissance, and electronic warfare” in short and long distances flights, the agency adds.

IRNA says the army will also showcase its “achievements” regarding drone manufacture in an exhibition with the presence of high-ranking military commanders.
