According to the official IRNA news agency, Ashtiani stressed that the relevant institutions are working to manufacture satellites and satellite carriers.

Also, IRNA adds that in another part of his statements Ashtiani referred to the presentation of the Mohayer-10, an advanced indigenous drone that has an operational range of two thousand kilometers and can fly for up to 24 hours.

“At the moment, we have other cases with capabilities beyond those of the Mohajer-10 drone and these achievements will be presented gradually,” the military officer added.
