A senior advisor to the chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says Iran’s production of ballistic missiles and drones exceeds the rate at which the Islamic Republic deploys the hardware, Press TV reports.

“We produce ballistic missiles at a rate exceeding the one at which they are deployed, and deliver them to the Islamic Republic’s Armed Forces. In the drone sector too, our production capacity is far greater than the rate at which the aircraft are deployed,” Brigadier General Mohammad-Reza Naqdi said.
