On September 21, traditional military parades were held in Tehran and other cities of the Islamic Republic of Iran in memory of the beginning of the Iran-Iraq war. In the Iranian calendar of events, this date is considered the “beginning of the Holy Week of Defense.”
Among other things, the IRGC’s new AKS Shahed-136B kamikaze drones were shown for the first time at the main parade in Tehran. Externally, they are quite different from the standard Shahed-136, as their aerodynamic design has been modified.
As reported by Iranian media, this unmanned system is also equipped with a turbojet engine, which allows it to destroy intended targets at a distance of more than 2,500 km.
The military parade also featured the IRGC’s new long-range precision strike ballistic missile called Jihad, which is entirely an Iranian product.
Previously EADaily The SVR reported that Washington, with the help of a new provocation by kyiv, wants to increase pressure on the DPRK and Iran, accusing these countries of supplying Russia with ballistic missiles.
