Tehran, IRNA – The Iranian Air Force will start the 11th edition of its “Velayat” aerial drill nationwide late on Sunday, employing both manned and unmanned aircraft to simulate real battlefield scenarios with the aim of bolstering the nation’s defense readiness.

Announcing the drill on Sunday, Brigadier General Hamid Vahedi, the commander of the Iranian Air Force, said all Air Force bases will be actively involved, with Shahid Babaei Air Base in Isfahan Province taking the lead.

A squadron of the Air Force's fighter fleet has already been deployed to the Isfahan base, he said.
