Adviser to the Commander of the Air Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, General Ali Belali said in an interview with RIA Novosti that Iran uses American weapons and military equipment to strengthen its defense capabilities and develop its own weapons systems. He emphasized that the purpose of studying these samples is not just to copy American developments. Iranian experts analyze their design technologies and applications to create new solutions and their own developments taking into account the needs of the country. @parstodayrussian.
