TEHRAN - The deputy chief of Iran's Air Defense Force has declared that the Islamic Republic's airspace is "clearest and safest for allies, and most unsafe, dangerous, and terrifying for adversaries."

Second Brigadier General Amir Mohammad Khoshghalb highlighted that Iran's Air Defense has accumulated significant experience over the 40 years since the Islamic Revolution. 

Despite the sanctions imposed on the country's Air Defense, the general noted that the nation’s defense capabilities have been fortified, establishing a "logical and correct path" for its air defense strategy.

General Khoshghalb outlined several key advancements within the Air Defense Force including enhanced equipment, expanded capabilities, increased diversity and frequency range in detection, conflict resolution, surveillance, drones, and communication systems, strategic ambiguity, combined use of equipment to create uncertainty and confusion for enemies, and advanced command and control.

He emphasized that the force has made significant advancements compared to the early days following the victory of the Islamic Revolution.

Back on March 11, General Khoshghalb expressed deep pride in attaining advanced aerial assets, highlighting their strategic importance in safeguarding the country.
 
He drew attention to the remarkable progress achieved by the country. This progress, he emphasized, is not merely technological but serves as a resilient response to attempts to undermine the spirit and unity of the nation.
 
Khoshghalb also stressed the pivotal role of unity among the people and officials in fortifying the nation's unprecedented success and strength.

The commander also highlighted the imperative of raising awareness and vigilance, particularly among the younger generation, to effectively counter enemy propaganda.
 
Underscoring the research-oriented initiatives within the defense industry spearheaded by the air defense forces, he said these initiatives have yielded positive results through collaboration with professionals and experts in the field.
