The spokesman for the large-scale Security Belt-2025 joint naval exercise says participating units of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Russia, and China have successfully conducted day and night shooting operations against aerial targets during the drill in the northern part of the Indian Ocean.
“Night and day shooting operations against aerial targets require coordination and detailed instructions. The scenario of the exercise has been developed and is being played out on the basis of a common tactical discourse between Iranian naval forces, consisting the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy and the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy, and their Chinese and Russian counterparts,” Rear Admiral Mostafa Tajeddini said on Tuesday.
He added that the ongoing Security Belt-2025 naval military drill differs from its previous editions in terms of the number of participating units and countries, and the extensive participation of airborne units, helicopters, and fixed-wing aircraft in the depth of the exercise zone.
