Iran has prepared new weapons, equipment, technology and tactics to be unveiled on the battlefield against any future adversary, Brigadier General Reza Talaei-Nik, spokesperson for Iran's Ministry of Defense, has told local Iranian media.
Iranian commanders have deliberately kept details confidential so they can serve them up as battlefield “surprises,” he stated.
Despite the geographic scope of US-Israeli recent conflicts, Iran prevented the adversary from achieving its objectives, Talaei-Nik noted, saying:
Strategic stockpiles built before the fighting, with production continuing uninterrupted through a network of roughly 9,300 knowledge-based and private companies that supply two-thirds of the sector
Overall arms production more than doubled between the 12-day war and the subsequent 40-day Ramadan war; output of some items rose several-fold
More than 1,000 types of weapons, equipment and ammunition manufactured domestically, delivering over 90% self-sufficiency
Unit costs for certain systems between one and twenty times lower than foreign equivalents
A decisive shift beyond reverse engineering toward fully indigenous designs, especially in long-range and cruise missiles as well as drones, while surplus production continues to support controlled exports.
