Iranian Interior Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar hailed Iran\'s capability of mass-producing different types of defensive products, and said the country is also ready to export them.\"Today whatever is needed in our country\'s defense industry is designed and produced by Iranian experts and we also mass-produce certain products,\" Najjar said on Thursday.He also reiterated that once Iranian authorities make the required decision, the country is also ready to export its defense industry products to the other countries. Tehran launched an arms development program during the 1980-88 Iraqi imposed war on Iran to compensate for a US weapons embargo. Since 1992, Iran has produced its own tanks, armored personnel carriers, missiles and fighter planes. Yet, Iranian officials have always stressed that the country\'s military and arms programs serve defensive purposes and should not be perceived as a threat to any other country. The country stages several air, land and sea wargames each year to test its newly produced weapons and equipments. In the last air drills staged by the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force last month, the country tested different plane equipments, ammunitions and tactics. Also during the exercises codenamed \'Fadaeeyan-e Harim-e Vellayat III\' in September, the Air Force successfully test-fired its Qassed smart bombs. The 2000-pound smart bombs are able to fly a 40km distance and hit the target without pilot\'s control. The Air Force successfully test-fired a home-made anti-radar smart missile, capable of destroying even mobile targets with 100 percent precision. The air-to-ground missile was fired from a Sukhoi Su-24 fighter jet during the air drills in Northwestern Iran on Thursday and destroyed the target with 100 percent precision. The Iranian Air Forces (IRIAF) also tested firing laser, thermal and TV-guided missiles with various ranges during the wargames.
