A senior Iranian commander says Iran Navy is planning to test-fire its latest indigenous surface-to-air missile in the coming days.
The new Ra’d (Thunder) missile can strike medium-range aerial targets and will be test-fired during the Iranian Navy’s Velayat 91 drills which were launched earlier on Friday, Rear Admiral Amir Rastegar said.
Iran Navy successfully test-fired its first indigenous medium-range anti-radar missile, Mehrab (Altar), during the massive 10-day Velayat 90 naval exercises in December 2011.
Mehrab was successfully fired towards its intended target and accurately completed its pre-determined mission.
Iran’s Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari said Friday that the Velayat 91 naval drill will be carried out in the Strait of Hormuz, the Sea of Oman, north of the Indian Ocean, the Gulf of Aden and Bab-el-Mandeb Strait.
“Among the goals of the drill is to display the capabilities of Iran’s Armed Forces and the Navy to defend our country’s maritime borders and interests in line with establishing lasting regional security and conveying the message of peace and friendship to neighboring states,” he added.
In the first day of the drill, a fleet of surface and subsurface vessels were sent to the location of the exercise.
The fleet included different classes of heavy and light submarines, logistic and missile-launching warships and frigates as well as Alborz and Sabalan destroyers.
The Jamaran destroyer closely monitored the movements of the mock enemy and sent collected information to the command center. Submarines, surface vessels and hovercrafts were then dispatched to the location of the battle to counter mock enemy forces.
Over the past few years, Iran has held several military drills to enhance the defensive capabilities of its armed forces and to test modern military tactics and equipment.
The Islamic Republic has repeatedly assured other nations, especially neighbors, that its military might poses no threat to other countries, insisting that its defense doctrine is based on deterrence.
A senior Iranian commander says indigenous missiles and torpedoes with great precision and high destructive power will be tested during the ongoing Velayat 91 naval drills.
“Domestic missiles and torpedoes with greater range, precision and destructive power compared to materiel used in last year’s drill wills be tested during the Velayat 91 naval exercises,” Rear Admiral Amir Rastegari, spokesman for the drills, said on Friday.
Iran’s Navy launched the six-day naval maneuvers on Friday in order to display the country’s capabilities to defend its maritime borders and maintain durable peace in the region.
The exercises cover a vast area including the Strait of Hormuz, the Sea of Oman, north of the Indian Ocean, the Gulf of Aden and Bab-el-Mandeb Strait.

Iran's Navy has successfully test-fired state-of-the-art torpedoes by hitting and destroying targets on the fourth day of the ongoing Velayat 91 military exercises.
Senior Iranian commander Rear Admiral Amir Rastegari said on Monday that “following successful coastal defense and the retreat of the enemy’s vessels,” Iranian sub-surface vessels ambushed the mock enemy forces and destroyed them with advanced torpedoes.
The spokesman for the Velayat 91 naval drill also said Iran’s surface units chased the enemy’s vessels while launching heavy missile attacks against the hostile forces.
On Sunday, Rastegari said, “During one of the practices of the second day of the drills, hostile forces launched a cyber attack against the computer network of defensive forces in order to infiltrate the network and hack information or spread viruses.”
He also stated that the Navy’s cyber defense forces successfully detected and blocked the threat.
Iranian Navy’s “cyber defense group” is a specialized unit that monitors and protects the computer networks of the naval forces, Rastegari said, adding the unit detects “all cyber infiltration and immediately takes necessary measures to counter them.”
Iran’s Navy launched six-day naval maneuvers on December 28 in order to display the country’s capabilities to defend its maritime borders and maintain sustainable peace in the region.
“The specialized maritime maneuver, codenamed Velayat-91, will be held east of the Strait of Hormuz in the Sea of Oman and north of the Indian Ocean as far as the 18th parallel north,” Iran’s Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari said earlier.
Over the past few years, Iran has held several military maneuvers to enhance the defensive capabilities of its armed forces and to test modern military tactics and equipment.
The Islamic Republic has repeatedly assured other nations, especially its neighbors, that its military might poses no threat to other countries, insisting that its defense doctrine is based on deterrence.
Iran has unveiled its latest combat helicopter Toufan 2 (Storm 2) during a ceremony attended by the country’s Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi.
Speaking during the ceremony on Wednesday, Vahidi said the chopper belongs to a new generation of combat helicopters and enjoys modern and advanced technologies, including high-precision targeting capability.
He noted that Toufan 2 employs Iran’s latest indigenous achievements in electronics, optics, laser and armament capabilities.
The Iranian minister hailed Toufan 2 as a symbol of creativity and self-sufficiency in the face of the enemies’ sanctions.
Vahidi stated that the aircraft will dramatically boost the combat power of the Iranian armed forces once its mass production begins.
Developed by the Iranian Aviation Industries Organization (IAIO), Toufan 2 was unveiled on the sixth and final day of naval exercises spanning the Strait of Hormuz to the Indian Ocean.
Iran also unveiled its first domestically manufactured helicopters during the inauguration ceremony of the Sixth International Aviation Industry Exhibition on December 12, 2012.
Panha 1 and Panha 2 helicopters are designed to conduct military operations and logistic missions, and can carry 14 and 8 passengers respectively.
The Shahriar, a completely overhauled medium-lift, twin-engine helicopter with a capacity of 20 passengers, was also displayed during the 2012 ceremony on Iran’s southern Kish Island.
In recent years, Iran has made great achievements in the defense sector and attained self-sufficiency in essential military equipment and systems.
Iranske pomorske snage su do sada upozorile 30 transregionalnih špijunskih bespilotnih letjelica da ne ulaze u Velayat 91 zonu za vojne manevre, rekao je viši iranski komandant.
Petog dana vojnih manevara, u utorak, glasnogovornik za Velayat 91 morske vježbe, Admiral Amir Rastegari je rekao da su iranske snage do sada zaustavile 30 pokušaja stranih špijunskih dronova, te zrakoplova izviđača u zoni manevara.
"Različite vrste zrakoplova za špijunažu i izviđača su pokušali ući u zonu manevara da bi špijunirali i sakupljali informacije. Upozoreni su od mornaričkih jedinica na površini i baze za zračnu odbranu Khatam al-Anbiya," rekao je komandant.
Iranska mornarica je započela šestodnevne morske manevre pod šifrom Velayat 91 28.prosinca 2012. godine s namjerom da pokažu sposobnosti države u obrani morskih granica.
Specijalizirani pomorski manevri pokrivaju područje istočno od Hormuškog tjesnaca u Omanskom moru do sjevera Indijskog oceana, sve do 18-te paralele.
U proteklih nekoliko godina je Iran održao nekoliko vojnih vježbi da bi pojačao obrambene sposobnosti svojih oružanih snaga i testirao modernu vojnu taktiku i opremu.
Islamska Republika je više puta uvjeravala druge nacije, pogotovo susjede, da njena vojna moć nije prijetnja po druge zemlje, tvrdeći da je obrambena doktrina Irana zasnovana na suzbijanju potencijalnih napada.
