The commander noted that more than 17,000 personnel of the Armed Forces will participate in the drills either directly or indirectly.
The maneuver will be held in the “most sensitive” area of the country, Esmaili said and warned extra-regional aircraft to stay out of the drill zone during the exercises.
He added that forces of the Iranian Army and the IRGC would deploy radar systems, electronic eavesdropping devices and low-, medium-, and high-altitude missiles during the massive maneuvers.
The commander said the drills would also include high-level electronic warfare.
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on September 1 instructed the Iranian Air Force defense forces to constantly upgrade their preparedness for repelling a variety of threats.
“Upgrade your preparedness and options constantly for countering all types of threats,” – Ayatollah Khamenei said in a meeting with top commanders and officials of the Khatam al-Anbiya Air Defense Base in Tehran.
In recent years, Iran has made great achievements in its defense sector and reached self-sufficiency in producing essential military equipment and systems.
The Islamic Republic has conducted several military drills to enhance the defense capabilities of its Armed Forces and to test modern military tactics and equipment.
