Speaking to IRNA, the chief executive officer of Iran Electronics Industries (IEI), Brigadier General Amir Rastegari, said Iran is currently able to manufacture defensive equipment in various fields."In the defense sectors, over 90% of the equipment and systems available to our powerful Armed Forces have been completely designed and manufactured by the industrial organizations of the Defense Ministry and their collaborating networks,” he added.He noted that the IEI has designed and produced defense requirements in space, air, sea, land and submarine areas.“To date, more than 7,000 systems have been produced in various sectors and fields and provided to the Armed Forces,” the official explained.He noted that the country is in possession of completely modern and domestically-manufactured vessels.Iranian experts have succeeded in designing equipment, including telecommunications, radar, electronic warfare, fire control and sonar systems, Rastegari continued.
Iran's Armed Forces, including the Army and the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), have been continuously boosting their military hardware and combat readiness in line with Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei’s directives.Iranian military experts and technicians have in recent years made substantial headway in manufacturing a broad range of indigenous equipment, making the armed forces self-sufficient in the weaponry sphere.Iranian officials have repeatedly stressed that the country will not hesitate to enhance its military capacities, including its missile and drone power, which are entirely meant for defense, and that Iran’s defense capabilities will never be subject to negotiation.Military officials praised the armed forces' strong stewardship of the country’s airspace, and stressed that Tehran is fully monitoring all moves by enemies.
Rastegari further said that the domestically designed and manufactured Dena destroyer joined Iran's Navy in 2022 and has so far traveled around the world, covering more than 55,000 kilometers across the five oceans."This shows the country's defense industry power which is capable of producing equipment that can safely navigate in harsh oceanic conditions,” the official emphasized.He reiterated that Iran’s defense industry is advancing despite sanctions and acts of obstruction by the global arrogance.Relying on its capabilities and know-how, Iran’s defense industries is capable of giving precise response to the enemies from afar in line with various international treaties, he added.
