Tehran, Feb 3, IRNA – Iran has successfully attained self-sufficiency in rebuilding and overhauling helicopters, Commander of Army Aviation Second Brigadier-General Yousef Ghorbani said on Wednesday.

Last year, Iran carried out an overhaul of 40 helicopters which demonstrate the knowledge and expertise of indigenous manpower, he further noted.

The system previously belonged to a number of states, he said, adding that the Iranian knowledge-based companies and air force staff are now self-sufficient in this regard.
