Iran-air_defense_drills Iran tested its radar and missile systems in a series of tactical air defense drills, codenamed 'Mesbah Al-Hoda', in the Southern parts of the country, Lieutenant Commander of Khatam ol-Anbia Air Defense Base Brigadier General Alireza Sabahifard announced on Saturday, June 7, 2014. "This stage of Mesbah Al-Hoda (Lantern of Guidance) military drills was held concentrating on Kish air defense group, and radar, missile, artillery and electronic systems (as well as watchtowers) were tested in different combat scenarios," General Sabahifard said. He underlined that all systems proved high levels of efficiency in the drills. General Sabahifard explained that Mesbah Al-Hoda exercises are comprised of several phases. "The drills have been designed for all air defense zones throughout the country," he said, and added that each air defense zone is tasked with conducting the drills and evaluating the personnel and air defense systems throughout the year. "Given the variety of the scenarios considered for these exercises and considering that they have been designed to deal with everyday threats they can assess and evaluate the preparedness level of the personnel and systems against all types of threats in a pragmatic way, and hence result in boosting the combat and operational capabilities of air defense units in the country," General Sabahifard stressed.
