TEHRAN (ISNA)-Iranian fighters start targeting objectives through domestically-built bombs and missiles as they started the first day of the third phase of air maneuver Tuesday in northwestern Iran.
"Hunting and tactic transport aircrafts and fighters will enter into the air drill on Tuesday after three days of practice. They will use home-made bombs, TV, laser, and radio missiles to hit the targets," the drill Spokesman Hossein Chit-Foroush said.
"Concentration and ambushing the enemy are some goals of the drill. Newest control systems are used in the maneuver," he added.
"All ammunitions used in this phase of the war game to hit fixed and mobile targets are real."
Iran has frequently said that it seeks protection of its soil against any possible threat through staging these maneuvers. It reiterated that the drills and war games pose no threat to regional states and other countries.
