MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Iran has increased its arms exports by 300% to 400% in the past two years and has grown more self-sufficient in the defense sector, state-run news agency IRNA reported on Wednesday, citing Iranian Defense Minister Mohammad Reza Ashtiani.
"Due to the innovations and the kind of weapons that are being manufactured, this amount will further increase in the future," he was quoted as saying after a cabinet meeting in Tehran.
Iran is now autonomous in drone engine production and is working on manufacturing heavy engines, the minister said.
