Young pilots and commanders demonstrated their readiness and high morale and proved that they are always prepared to conduct operations, he said.

The message of the drill, he continued, is that all Iranian forces are always ready to defend the ideals of the Islamic Revolution and Iran’s territory, adding that the forces are prepared to counter any form of threat.
