Indian Defense Minister A. K. Antony has welcomed the expansion of defense cooperation with the Islamic Republic of Iran in different sectors.
During a meeting on Saturday, the Indian minister and Iran’s Ambassador to New Delhi Gholam-Reza Ansari stressed the development of bilateral defense cooperation, exploring ways to expand relations in this regard.
Pointing to achievements made by Iran and India in the defense and military industry, the Iranian envoy expressed Tehran’s readiness to enhance relations and exchange experience with New Delhi.
In recent years, Iran has made great achievements in its defense sector and attained self-sufficiency in producing essential military equipment and systems.
The Iranian Army is equipped with a wide range of domestically-manufactured military and defense equipment, including ground surveillance radar systems, personnel carriers, drones, destroyers, submarines, and missile-launching frigates.
The Islamic Republic has also held several military drills to enhance the defense capabilities of its armed forces and to test modern military tactics and equipment.
Tehran has repeatedly assured other countries that its military might poses no threat to other states, insisting that the Islamic Republic’s defense doctrine is entirely based on deterrence.
