Army Commander Major General Ataollah Salehi here Wednesday declared Iran's ability to produce warplanes.
Speaking on the sidelines of the great `Zolfaqar Blow' wargames, he said that the achievements of the ongoing maneuver are beyond expectation.
In response to a question about the message of the week-long wargames to the regional states, he said, "Given Iran's friendly approach to the neighboring states, they believe that such wargames are not considered as a threat to the region.
"Rather any threat facing the region, is caused by extra-regional enemies. On the contrary, the neighboring states fully cooperate with Iran in this regard."
Major General Salehi underlined that what is displayed at the ongoing big maneuvers is just an example.
The city of Shabestar with a population of 117,000 is situated 72 kilometers to the west of the provincial capital of Tabriz.
