Anti-aircraft missile systems with low, mid and high altitudes are used in the drill, he added.

Commander of Iran's Khatamolanbia Air Defense Base for Operations Colonel Abolfazl Farmahini on Tuesday warned the enemies of Iran's powerful air defense system, stressing that the country's air defense units enjoy the capability to target any aggressive aircraft that intends to violate the country's airspace, according to the semi-official Fars news agency.

"Missiles and powerful air defense systems of Khatamolanbia base are ready to destroy all enemy aircraft," Farmahini told Fars.

Meanwhile, Farmahini downplayed recent war threats against the country, saying "enemies" are incapable of waging a war on the country since any potential attack on Iran and its facilities will be reciprocated by Tehran's strong retaliatory measures, according to Fars.

Iran launched one of its largest nationwide air defense drills on Tuesday, assuming possible attacks on its public or nuclear establishments.

Aerial defense units from the army and the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) are taking part in the three-stage, five-day defense maneuvers dubbed "Modafean Aseman Velayat 3" (the Guardians of Islamic Skies).
