Different rocket and missile units of the Army Ground Force will exercise combat and operational tactics in the wide-scale drills.
Earlier, Lieutenant Commander of the Army Ground Force General Kiomars Heidari had told FNA that three new types of missiles would be test-fired during wargames.
The commander said that the army would be equipped with new missiles, adding that the missiles had already been test-fired and would undergo operational tests during the drills.
"We plan to test-fire three new types of missiles in the wargames," Heidari underscored.
Iranian officials and commanders said that all military exercises and trainings of the Iranian Armed Forces are merely meant to serve deterrent purposes.
"When the enemy observes that our Armed Forces are constantly in wargame zones and their fingers are kept on the trigger, it will not dare to invade the Islamic Iran's borders," Commander of the Iranian Army Ground Force Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan said in January, underlining the significance of military trainings for boosting the country's deterrent power.
As regards the Iranian Armed Forces' military exercises, Pourdastan described wargames as "very important" to the Iranian military, and said drills have provided the Iranian military forces, including the Army Ground Force, with an opportunity to test its achievements and remove deficiencies for future missions.
