News - Middle East: The Iranian Defense Ministry has put on display an unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) as well as sophisticated radar systems entirely designed and manufactured by the country’s military experts at a defense exhibit in Russia.

The Mohajer-10 (Immigrant-10) drone, with an operational range of 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles) and a 24-hour flight endurance ability, was showcased at the Army 2024 International Military-Technical Forum in Patriot Park outside the Russian capital, Moscow.

Iran’s advanced homegrown air defense and radar systems were also unveiled for the first time in the exhibition, which runs from August 12 to 14.

Other Iranian products put on display in the exhibition include electronic warfare (EW) systems, airborne and seaborne missile defense systems, ballistic missiles as well as batteries for industrial and military applications.

Brigadier General Ali Shadmani, deputy coordinator of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, Iranian Ambassador to Moscow Kazem Jalali and a number of other high-ranking Iranian military officials attended the inauguration ceremony of the event.

Iranian military experts and technicians have in recent years made substantial headways in manufacturing a broad range of indigenous equipment, making the armed forces self-sufficient in the arms sphere.

Officials have repeatedly underscored that the country will not hesitate to strengthen its military capabilities, including its missile power, which are entirely meant for defense, and that Iran’s defense capabilities will be never subject to negotiations.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has repeatedly called for efforts to maintain and boost Iran’s defense capabilities, hitting back at the enemies for disputing the country’s missile program.
