' Iran to unveil new achievements in space sphere'

19 December 2012 [15:53] - TODAY.AZ
Iran will unveil country's new achievements in the space sphere, country's Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi said, IRNA reported.

Vahidi said that Iran's achievements will be revealed at the upcoming country's Day of Space Technology, which will be held on February 2.

Vahidi also spoke of other issues, such as the production of new UAVs, similar to the Scan Eagle drone, that Iran has recently captured.

Earlier in November, Iran's military repelled an unidentified aircraft that had entered the country's airspace "above the territorial waters of the Islamic Republic in the Persian Gulf".

Vahidi said that Iran's recently established production line of domestically made UAV's would produce drones with advanced capabilities of the Scan Eagle drone.

Speaking of the Patriot missiles shield on the Turkey-Syria border, Vahidi noted that deploying the missile shield in the presence of foreign forces in the region does not contribute to regional stability.

Regarding the missile cooperation between Iran and North Korea, Vahidi said Iran did not send any of country's specialists to N. Korea regarding this issue.
