Iranian Army spokesperson Mohammad Akrami Nia revealed on Sunday that new drones were brought into operational service during the final days of the 40-day war, alongside upgraded missiles fielded across the armed forces.
According to Iran’s Fars News Agency, Akrami Nia said the drones, whose development had begun before the war, were deployed in its closing days, while improved missiles with higher efficiency and quality were also used by both the Army and the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC). “While we were using existing equipment, we were not neglecting the field of research and development,” he said.
He further said that the drones unveiled in the war’s final days are far more advanced than previous generations, such as the Arash-2, and that their full capabilities will be announced to the Iranian people soon.
He confirmed that Iran has a serious program underway on two fronts, domestic manufacturing and the purchase of advanced equipment from friendly countries, adding that the Army will receive more advanced equipment in the coming days.
