Iran: Large scale maneuvers begin in Khuzestan

PanARMENIAN.Net Large scale BBC trainings are now taking place in Khuzestan, south-west of Iran. The main stage of maneuvers envisaging fighter bombing and shooting from “air-land” class rockets will kick off today, General Naser Yakubi, commander of 4th military air base of Dizful, told FARS news agency.

According to him, maneuvers are aimed at checking military equipment as well as servicemen’s fighting capacities. They are organized by the assistance of military air bases of Tehran and Shiraz with the involvement of BBC IRI fighters of Tebriz, Busher, Hamadan and Dizful.

These are the second large-scale military trainings organized in the country over the past two months. Unprecedented maneuvers of Guard Corps rocket forces were organized late in September when various types of Iranian rockets were launched for educational purposes.
