Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh made the remarks on Monday in the unveiling ceremony of a flight simulator for Ilyushin Il-76 made by experts at IRIAF.
“Iran’s Air Force has many aircraft made by Western and Eastern blocks and also has simulators of 90% of these aircraft that are mainly produced by the force’s experts,” he said.
He called the unveiled project as a ‘major step’, noting that the Air Force enjoys the capacity of manufacturing flight simulators of all active commercial and military aircraft in the country.
Nasirzadeh noted that the production of such simulators will save a significant sum of money for the country.
