‘Iran has heavy aircraft technology’ - Gayo Lues
“The marine patrol aircraft and Shahed (Witness) chopper which have been designed and produced based on all international standards are shining examples that sanctions have failed to prevent progress,” said Vahidi on Monday.
He added, considering the country’s demands, the marine patrol aircraft has been designed and manufactured by Iranian experts with capabilities equivalent to the most advanced planes in the world, IRNA reported.
Vahidi said only some countries have the expertise to build the 20-25 ton marine patrol aircraft and emphasized that the indigenous plane is among such type.
In recent years, Iran has made great achievements in the defense sector and gained self-sufficiency in essential military hardware and defense systems.
Iran has repeatedly assured other nations, especially regional neighbors, that its military might poses no threat to other countries, insisting that its defense doctrine is merely based on deterrence.
