Communications Bureau Chief of the Chief Commander of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Abbas Sedehi, said that “at the time of Pahlavi regime, an American military advisor would receive $12,000 a month to grease a helicopter while Iranian officers did not have the right to do so.”
“Today, if the government provides the navy with necessary funds , it will definitely be able to build warships with a length of 200 meters and even aircraft carriers,” he added.
Iranian armed forces have gained great achievements in manufacturing military equipment despite Western countries’ sanctions.
