ALBAWABA - At the Aviation and Space Industry Fair, Iran displayed the missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) it deployed in its most recent "real promise" operation against Israel.

At the exhibition, Ali Belali, the deputy commander of the Revolutionary Guards Air Force, threatened to use their next-generation missiles to deliver a bigger and harsher blow to Israel if it tried to commit another error against Iran.

The Revolutionary Guards' Aviation and Space Industry arranged the fair, which featured a variety of missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) used in the mission.

These included the 1450-kilometer-range Hayber Shiken missile, the 1600-kilometer-range Emad ballistic missile, the 1600-kilometer-range Paveh cruise missile, and the Shahid-2 unmanned aerial vehicles.

The Mehran air defence system, which has a range of 320 km, the Fettah-2 hypersonic cruise missile, and the Shahid-147 unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) were among the other indigenous weapons and defence systems on display.

Belali stressed that since they have been developing their military technology under sanctions for the previous 40 years, the new sanctions will not have an impact on their UAV or missile programmes.

He issued a warning to Israel not to irritate Iran any more, saying that country can now produce its own missiles and that it will retaliate with more sophisticated and modern weapons if it is provoked again.
