In an interview on Sunday, Brigadier General Alireza Elhami, commander of the Iranian Air Defense Force, discussed the enhanced preparedness of the force following the ceasefire in the recent war of aggression by the United States and the Zionist regime against Iran. He emphasized that all parts, equipment, tactics, command and control centers, and communication infrastructures have been entirely produced by Iranian experts and engineers within the Air Defense Force.

Elhami took the opportunity to thank research and scientific centers for their close cooperation and interaction with the air defense forces, which helped meet domestic demands. He noted that efforts are underway to rebuild the country's defense capabilities, with colleagues striving to equip all air defense systems to be compatible with the world's most advanced technology.

Regarding the recent conflict, the commander stated that all air defense parts and equipment damaged by the enemy during the US-Israeli aggression will be replaced in the shortest possible time. He attributed the dynamism of the air defense force to reliance on domestic capabilities.

Elhami reiterated his gratitude to research centers, scientific institutions, and knowledge-based companies that cooperated with the air defense force to enhance the efficacy of the country's air defense equipment.

According to Mehr News, the interview highlighted Iran's commitment to self-sufficiency in defense manufacturing, particularly in the air defense sector, amid ongoing tensions with the US and Israel.
