Commander of the Iranian Army Ground Force’s Airborne Division General Yousef Qorbani said on Saturday that Iran is now in possession of the most powerful fleet of military helicopters in West Asia after the choppers have been furnished with the most up-to-date equipment to enhance rapid action against threats.
He further added that the IRGC's Airborne Division has now the highest level of combat preparedness in the region.
The renovation of Iran's choppers was done domestically by local experts, Qorbani said.

Qorbani noted that the domestic manufacturing of a national helicopter is soon nearing completion as further progress is achieved in cooperation with Defense Ministry and knowledge-based companies.
