MEHR: Commander of the Iranian Army’s Air Defense Force Brigadier General Alireza Sabahi Fard said that the powerful air defense force of the Iranian army is ready to repel and stand against any possible aggression on the country.
On the occasion of Iran Air Defence Day, Brigadier General Alireza Sabahifard, commander of the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Defense Force (IRIADF), and other air defense commanders attended the mausoleum of the late founder of the Islamic Revolution Imam Khomeini (RA) on Sunday morning.
PADAJA was founded in 1992, and its headquarters experienced a reorganization and enhancement on September 1, 2008. This restructuring was initiated by an order from the commander-in-chief of the Iranian Armed Forces, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, aimed at protecting Iran's airspace from aerial threats.
This date has since been designated as Air Defense Day.
Today, the powerful Iranian air defense force has all its equipment made by Iranian specialists domestically and is ahead of the most advanced and up-to-date defense in the world, Sabahi Fard told reporters on the sidelines of the ceremony to renew their allegiance to the Founder of the Islamic Revolution.
The Iranian defense equipment is built based on the existing threats, he said, adding that the country is “even ahead of these threats and we will use them against the threats.”
