A senior Iranian commander has scoffed at the military threats against the Islamic Republic, saying Iran’s Army Air Force (IRAF) is fully prepared for an unequalled battle.

“The helicopters of Iran's Army have been equipped with systems that will enable them to compete in an unequalled battle,” Commander of the Iranian Army's Ground Forces Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan told IRNA on Sunday.
He added that the Army’s helicpoters have been improved in technical and tactical terms to prepare them for the unequalled battle.

The Iranian commander emphasized that the IRAF units have great power and will strongly defend the country.

In recent years, Iran has made important breakthroughs in its defense sector and attained self-sufficiency in producing important military equipment and systems.

Tehran has repeatedly clarified that its military might is merely based on the nation's defense doctrine of deterrence and poses no threat to other countries.
