The Iranian armed forces on Thursday staged the joint air defense exercise, 'Modafean-e Aseman-e Velayat 98' codenamed 'Guardians of Velayat's Sky-98' in the central Iranian province of Semnan.

Iran Press/Iran news: The war game is aimed at boosting the combat readiness and consolidate the air defense capabilities of the armed forces in simulated real-war conditions, Iran Press reported.

The drill includes various types of homegrown missile systems and radars countering aerial threats in low, medium and high altitudes.
