Iran's army spokesperson announced Sunday morning that the military will soon acquire advanced weaponry from "friendly countries" alongside a serious domestic production plan, according to a statement reported by Abu Ali Express. The spokesperson also revealed that new drones — including the advanced 'Arash-2' — entered operational service during the final days of the recent war, and said their capabilities will be presented to the Iranian public soon. The announcement comes as Iran continues efforts to modernize its military after the conflict, with past reports pointing to potential acquisitions from Russia and China. The identity of the 'friendly countries' and the specific equipment to be procured have not been disclosed. The Zioneer has previously reported on Iran's interest in Chinese J-10 fighters and a helicopter procurement from Russia, though those items are not directly linked to this statement.
