"The export of our defense products is gradually developing. This year [1402 according to the Iranian calendar, which began on March 21, 2022] it has tripled compared with last year," Farahi was quoted by Iranian news agency IRNA as saying. Iran started enhancing the development of its military-industrial complex ten years ago, which today has resulted in a noticeable increase in the share of domestic military equipment in exercises, the military official said. In 2022, its share increased by 10%, meaning that 93% of military equipment used in drills is Iranian-made, he specified. With the country having to contend with numerous foreign adversaries, its defense industry should be under the control of the government and not private actors, the Iranian general said.
