The IRGC’s Aerospace Force hosted Press TV in this exhibition, which offers a timeline of Iran's advances in the aerospace sector.
The story of Iran's self-sufficiency in the defense industry began with this missile, dubbed Eskad, which Iran imported from Libya in the thick of Iraq's war on the country in the 1980s.
No country would sell any defense equipment to Iran at the time since the Islamic Republic was facing another challenge, the US arms embargoes. Starting from the clones of Eskad, Iran now produces this long-range missile, Emad; all on its own.
