An official with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says more than 85 per cent of the force’s air defence production capacity remained undamaged during the war, Al Jazeera reports, citing Fars news agency.

In an interview featured in a documentary published by Fars, the official said despite attacks on Iran’s military production infrastructure, the rate of production and delivery of missiles and air defence systems had not fallen compared with levels before the conflict.

He said a large part of the IRGC’s air defence equipment is produced by the force’s own self-sufficiency organisation and claimed that production in some areas had since increased.

The official also said Iran’s current stock of operational air defence systems was in a better position than it had been at the beginning of the fighting.
