Iranian Army’s Ground Force to Test Latest Equipment in Upcoming Drills

The Iranian Army Ground Force plans to test the latest combat equipment and systems in a series of wargames due to be held in Eastern Iran in the next few weeks, a senior Army commander announced.

Speaking to FNA on Tuesday, Commander of the Iranian Army Ground Force Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan said his forces will stage the dills in Eastern parts of Iran in February.

As regards the details of the drills, Pourdastan said, “In the wargames, the latest equipment and combat systems of the Ground Force together with modern combat tactics will be tested and evaluated.”

The announcement came a day after the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Ground Force ended a series of military exercises in Iran’s Eastern regions.

The drills, codenamed as Shohaday-e Vahdat (Martyrs of Unity), were carried out in Khaf general zone, East of Iran.

Exercising tactical strategies and asymmetric tactics of the IRGC combat units was among the main objectives of the drills.

The IRGC’s new drills came less than a week after Iranian Navy wrapped up its 10-day naval drills in the international waters in the Sea of Oman and the Indian Ocean.
