Top general warns Iran’s enemies of devastating harms if airspace violated
Bagheri made the remarks after a high-profile meeting of the air defense units in the Iranian capital Tehran on Monday, Press TV reported.
“The ill-wishers of the Iranian nation and enemies should know that any violation of our country’s airspace will inflict significant harms on them, and will expose them to the costs that are definitely much higher than the results they may expect,” Iran’s highest-ranking military commander stated.
He underscored dramatic progress that has been made in improving the air defense capabilities during the past year.
Bagheri highlighted that certain sections of the Air Defense units have experienced a fivefold increase in comparison with the preceding year as regards the number of radars, monitoring systems, and detection devices used for tracking hostile moves.
The top general stated that Air Defense capabilities in the fire control systems, interception, and detonation of intruding aerial targets have developed by two to three times in some cases.
He underlined that Iran’s airspace is being monitored constantly, and the Armed Forces are a hundred percent prepared to confront any act of aggression.
The chief of staff of the Armed Forces highlighted that Iranian Air Defense units control the country's airspace round the clock, and prepare themselves for any possible scenario through frequent exercises and drills.
The volume of investment in the fortification of Iran’s Air Defense has risen by several times, Bagheri noted.
Iranian officials say the Islamic Republic will not hesitate to strengthen its military capabilities, including its missile power, which is entirely meant for defense.
