The Iranian army's air defense forces along with the IRGC have kicked off the annual drills dubbed Defenders of Velayat Skies.

A range of air defense missile systems, UAVs, electronic warfare systems and radars are used. The first day of this large-scale military exercise focused on electronic warfare and as you can see right behind me domestically made systems like this were used to show Iran's military might in this field.

One of the features making this year's drills unique is that the job is being carried out by the Iranian youth. According to commanders, the equipment and systems used in this exercise are fully manufactured by Iranian experts.

Iran's air defense forces say with their totally indigenous air defense equipment, the country skies are safer than ever.
