Iranian Revolutionary Guards fired surface-to-surface ballistic missiles and tested new locally made drones in a military exercise on Friday, state television reported.
The drill, he said was led by the leader of the Guards, Major General Hossein Salami in the middle of the desert area, came in the tense days of high tensions with US President Donald Trump’s administration.
It followed naval missile tests briefly on Wednesday, as well as exercises earlier this month that involved a wide range of home-made drones.
“The bomber drones hit the shield of objective enemy missiles from all sides, completely destroying the targets,” the state’s TV broadcast of drilling said Friday.
“Also, a large number of a new generation of ballistic missiles were fired at selected targets, inflicting fatal blows on hypothetical enemy bases.”
