The Islamic Republic is manufacturing maritime patrol aircraft, IRI Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi said.

“This product can be widely used in the military sector and maritime patrol and we hope we can introduce it to the armed forces in the near future,” Vahidi said on Saturday.

The aircraft, which is equipped with optical and radar subsystems and is capable of operating for long durations, can be used in maritime patrol roles.

“The products manufactured in the country’s defense industry are varied. In the electronic and electro-optic fields, we have many products, some of which have been unveiled and the rest are close to unveiling,” he added.
