The country’s latest indigenous military hardware including surface-to-surface missiles, drones and air defense systems will be on display during the parades in Iran’s capital, Tehran.
Senior Iranian officials including President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as well as a host of top military commanders are attending the ceremony.
The occasion marks the establishment of the Islamic Republic’s Army.
In recent years, Iran has made major breakthroughs in its defense sector and attained self-sufficiency in important military equipment and systems.
The Islamic Republic has announced time and again that “deterrence” lies at the heart of its defense doctrine, and that its military might poses no threat whatsoever to other countries.
