Iran is worried that unmanned air systems (UAS) will threaten its forces and installation in a future war.
The Iranian Air Force has shot down three drones last week in the third day of an ongoing massive military exercise in southern parts of the country, Press TV reported.
The unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were brought down by three domestically designed and manufactured missiles fired from an ambush missile system known as Mersad, the news agency reported.
According to Press TV, the Islamic republic’s Air Defense Force will carry out operations to spot and intercept drilled enemy hovercrafts during the military exercise.

Meanwhile, the Navy commander announced plans to test a new submarine, according to the state-run Tasnim news agency.
The country’s Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari said that one of the main purposes of the military drills was to demonstrate Iran’s capability in ensuring security in the region, as reported by Tasnim.
According to Space War website, the six-day military drill’s code-name is Mohammad Rasoulallah – meaning Mohammad the Messenger of God. Iran’s Army Ground Force, Air Force, Air Defense Force and Navy are carrying out the military exercises to the west of the Strait of Hormuz over a very large area.
