TEHRAN (FNA)- The Iranian Air Force is ready to train the regional countries' pilots, Air Force Deputy Commander for Coordination Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh announced on Monday.


"The Air Force's Pilots College has been completely institutionalized and enjoys the necessary infrastructures for training the pilots of the other regional countries," Nasirzadeh said in Tehran today.

"We have tried to make our teachings richer every day, given the needs we feel, and move towards international standards in this regard using other countries' experiences," he added.

Nasirzadeh also said that the Iranian Air Force enjoys complicated tools, systems and equipment and skilled human resources.

Earlier this year, former Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi announced that the country planned to display new home-made defensive products in the near future, including a new aircraft for training purposes.

�We have on the agenda the production of other types of fighter jets and we will unveil Kowsar training jets in a not too far future,� Vahidi told reporters on the sidelines of the military parades held in Tehran on the occasion of the National Army Day on April 18.

In recent years, Iran has made great achievements in the defense sector and gained self-sufficiency in essential military hardware and defense systems.

The country has repeatedly made it clear that its military might is merely based on the state's defense doctrine of deterrence and that it poses no threat to other countries.
