Commander of the Iranian Army’s Air Defense Force Brigadier General Alireza Sabahi Fard, said today that his country has succeeded in developing its own missile systems and nationalizing its industry.

Sabahi Fard mentioned that the Iranian success comes after transforming the forced sanctions into favorable opportunities.

Today, the commander's statements came as he inspected the S-200 missile system site, during which he expressed his happiness with the progress of the Iranian air defense field and the level of the development of local production of missile systems.

Brigadier General Sabahi Fard stated that all units of the Iranian Air Defense Force own the latest locally manufactured devices and mechanisms.

He also stressed that Iran has trained and specialized youth cadres alongside veterans, describing these cadres as the basis for the progress of the air defense field and the protection of the Iranian airspace.

Earlier, Sabahi Fard warned against any attack on the country's airspace, stressing that the slightest attack will be met with a crushing response.

He also stressed that his country's army was able to achieve great progress in various defense fields, in which any air movement can be detected, identified, and destroyed through different radar levels.

It is noteworthy that last October, during army drills, Iran used the Bavar-373 air defense system for the first time, according to a statement published on the Iranian army's official website.

The statement confirmed that the system succeeded in hitting the target from a long distance.
