Missiles, rockets mounted on Iranian Ground Force drones

The Iranian Ground Force has armed its drones with missiles and rockets, a senior commander said Sunday.

“We are after increasing the range and flight duration of our drones and all Ground Force drones will be armed with missiles and rockets next year,” Iranian Ground Force Commander Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan said in Tehran on Sunday.

He said “these weapons have already been mounted on the drones but, the aircraft need to accomplish all their flight tests” before all of them are armed with missiles and rockets.

Elsewhere, Pourdastan announced plans to stage massive electronic warfare drills in Nasrabad region, Central Iran, in the last days of spring.
