Iranian army will hold an electronic warfare (EW) exercise in the near future, Lieutenant General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan, Iranian Ground Force Commander said.
The drill which will be held in Iran’s central province of Esfahan is scheduled for the third Iranian calendar month (May 22- June 20), Pourdastan said.
The army will test establishing communication between the forces and using telecommunication equipments under jamming attack, Pourdastan said, Iran’s official IRNA news agency reported April 12.
It was earlier announced that information and communication technologies, as well as electronic warfare systems and anti- electronic systems will also be tested during the drill.
The military exercise aims to assess capabilities of forces in case the enemy incapacitates Iran's wireless communication systems.
Pourdastan also said that last month Iranian army ground force held a military drill in the country’s south western province of Khuzestan, bordering with Iraq which was not shared with media.
New weapons, as well as proxy war tactics were tested in the mentioned drill, he said, without explaining why the army has preferred to keep the drill secret.
Earlier in February, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) held a massive naval drill in the Gulf and the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
The drill dubbed “Prophet Mohammad-9” was aimed boosting the IRGC’s combat power and showcasing its missile capabilities to trans-regional powers.
