Iran Army ground forces kick off offensive, security drill in western regions
The ground forces of the Iranian Army have held the first phase of an offensive and security exercise in the western part of the country.
The military drill was comprised of a fleet of 100 helicopters which was held in the Naftshahr region of the western Iranian Kermanshah Province’s Qasr-e Shirin Country on Monday.
The drill was attended by Commander of the Iranian Army’s Ground Force Brigadier General Kioumars Heidari.
It was conducted with the overhaul and joining of several helicopters, including models 205, 206, 209, and 214, to the helicopter fleet of the first combat base of the Army’s Ground Force located in Kermanshah.
The copters had not been operational as they required the production and supplement of parts.
Deputy Commander of Operations for the Ground Force, Brigadier General Karim Chashak, on Sunday identified the maneuvers as “security, offensive, and mobile exercises, enlisting the Ground Forces’ 35th Special Forces Brigade, 55th Airborne Brigade, 181st Armored Brigade, Army Aviation, Electronic Warfare Battalions, and drones” among other units.
Chashak defined the goal of the drill as enhancing the forces’ readiness for countering any foreign threats against order and security in the country.
