Iran Offers Free Shoulder-Fired Missile Training to Civilians
Iran's military is providing free training to civilians on how to operate shoulder-fired missiles for air defense purposes, according to reports. The initiative aims to bolster the country's aerial defense capabilities.
This development comes amid recent reports suggesting a potential deal for Iran to acquire similar missiles from China. The specifics of this alleged deal, including the type of missiles and the timeline, remain unclear.
The Iranian military's move to train civilians in the use of advanced anti-aircraft weaponry highlights a strategy to create a widespread, decentralized air defense network. This could potentially complicate the operational planning of any adversary.
