In remarks at a meeting of senior commanders, held in Tehran on Wednesday, General Heidari said the Army Ground Force has drawn up plans to construct and develop more drone bases in Iran.

He noted that the Army has set up many drone bases in different parts of the country, including along the borders.

Describing the unmanned aerial vehicles as unique and influential weapons of the future battles, he said the Iranian Army has managed to manufacture various drones and micro air vehicles.

The Army is currently developing drones that could meet the Ground Force demands in various operations, the commander stated.
