Iran celebrates Sacred Defense Week these days – a nationwide holiday marked with military parades and festivities that commemorate an eight-year-long regional clash in the 1980s.
Iran's yearly military parade became a display of cutting-edge military equipment this year, including drones that can cover tremendous distances and deliver explosives to enemies of Tehran. New solid-fueled ballistic missiles were also presented, including the latest models. Anti-US banners were also displayed since Tehran considers Washington one of its main geopolitical adversaries and direct military threat to the well-being of Iranian people. The Revolutionary Guard Corp – an elite and most capable unit of the Islamic Republican Army – demonstrated their prowess during the parade.Check out Sputnik's gallery to find out more.
