Commander: Iran holds defense drills at nuclear plants
Commander: Iran holds defense drills at nuclear plants – Israel News, Ynetnews.
‘This year, we carried out tactical drills which resembled real combat in Fordo, Tehran, Natanz, Bushehr and Isfahan,’ Ahmad Mighani says
Iran has conducted defense drills at its sensitive nuclear facilities, a senior commander told media on Sunday, adding that fresh aerial war games will be launched across the country next week.
“This year, we carried out tactical drills which resembled real combat in Fordo, Tehran, Natanz, Bushehr and Isfahan,” where the country’s nuclear plants are located, the Mehr news agency quoted Ahmad Mighani as saying.
Mighani did not specify when exactly the exercises were conducted.A top commander said on Wednesday that Iran would soon test its own version of the S-300. It was unclear whether that would be during the upcoming war games.
Iran’s arch-foes Israel and the United States have not ruled out a resort to military action to prevent it developing a nuclear weapons capability, an ambition it strongly denies.Mighani said the armed forces will stage a new five-day air defense drill from Tuesday “all over the country in order to improve defense capability,” the Fars news agency reported. Iran’s armed forces regularly conduct such exercises to show off the country’s military prowess and test-fire what they boast are home-made missiles.
Following the latest package of UN sanctions on Iran, Russia refused to deliver long sought-after S-300 ground-to-air missiles.

IT WOULDN`T SUPRIZE ME IF THE IRANIANS GOT THEIR HANDS ON SOME S-300 ANTI-AIRCRAFT DESIGNS AND FORGED THEM. THAT WILL DEFINATELY EXPLAIN ANY AND ALL UPGRADES THEY MAY BE ABLE TO MASTER. IF SO THE ADVANCEMENTS WILL DEFINATELY RECOVER THEIR CAPACITY TO ENGAGE UNLESS THEY ARE WORMY AND FAIL AT THE RIGHT TIMES. THAT WOULLLD BE A REAL COMPROMISE IF THAT COULD OR WILL HAPPEN THE IRANIANS WILL DEFINATELY REPOSITION THEIR SYSTEMS ON THE MOBILE LAUNCHERS FOR SURE AND I WOULD BET THEY WILL DEPLOY ON MOUNTINOUS, ELEVATED OR REMOTELY ADVANCED SYSTEMS OPERATING IN REMOTE ARES SO .AS TO NOT I.D. THEIR LOCATIONS TOO.
