Speaking to Tasnim on Saturday, Admiral Sayyari said the Army has special plans
to celebrate the 40th anniversary of victory of the Islamic Revolution in
February 2019.
He said Iran will unveil a new destroyer, a submarine and modern military
equipment during the Ten-Day Fajr (Dawn) ceremonies, marking the anniversary of
the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Iranian military experts and technicians have in recent years made great
headways in manufacturing a broad range of indigenous equipment, making the
armed forces self-sufficient in the arms sphere.
On December 1, the Iranian Navy officially received a new homegrown destroyer,
dubbed Sahand.
Iran has so far launched different classes of domestically-built destroyers as
part of a broad project known as Mowj (wave). The Navy has already received
Jamaran and Damavand destroyers, developed by the local experts.
In a meeting with Navy commanders in November, Leader of the Islamic Revolution
Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei praised as "great and fabulous” the advances that
Iranian military forces, the Navy in particular, have made since the victory of
the Islamic Revolution in 1979, saying the Navy’s success in bringing into
service homegrown vessels such as the Sahand destroyer or Fateh and Qadir
submarines heralds more progress day after day.
