Hajizadeh made the remarks during a ceremony in Tehran held to commemorate the Sacred Defence Week (the imposed 8-year war against Iran by Iraqi Baathist regime) on Tuesday.
"Iran entered the war while the superpowers of the East and the West, the European countries and the reactionary Arab regional countries, which were about 30 countries in total, were facing the 19-month Islamic revolution. We did not lose even one iota of our land and defeated their power. We imposed our demands on them and exceeded the level of regional power," the IRGC Aerospace Force commander said.
'Today, we have a lot to say in the realm of drones in the world, and we have become a role-model in both the field of drone techniques and tactics. Today, other countries follow suit and we have become a role model in the field of drone power," he added.
