A day after Pakistan carried out strikes under Operation “Marg Bar Sarmachar” in retaliation to Iranian strikes, Tehran Friday announced that it carried out military drills focusing on air defence operations.
The air defence exercise was held in an area stretching from the country’s southwestern to southeastern coasts and provisioned Iranian forces carrying out drills against electronic warfare and cyber attacks using air defence systems, reported the state-run Press TV. Tehran’s military exercise comes after Islamabad struck hideouts used by terrorist organisations, namely Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) inside Iranian territory using killer drones, rockets, loitering munitions, and stand-off weapons.
As per an Iranian army spokesperson, its forces “practised different methods and tactics of electronic warfare and cyber warfare in order to deal with an electronic invasion’ during the military drills.
