Heliborne operations and evacuation of the injured were also rehearsed in the drills.

Helicopters belonging to the aviation unit of the Army Ground Forces struck the armored unit of hypothetical invading forces.

Rockets were also fired at the enemy’s positions while the Army tested its unmanned aerial vehicles by taking aerial images.

The commander of the Iranian Army Ground Forces, Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan gave a “very good” assessment of the first phase of the drills, which will continue into Wednesday.

“Our forces showed that their potential for presence in asymmetric battlefield is very high,” the general said.

Iran has conducted several drills to enhance the defense capabilities of its armed forces and to test modern military tactics and equipment.

The Islamic Republic has repeatedly said that its military might poses no threat to other countries, reiterating that its defense doctrine is based on deterrence.

This is a huge fire ball and i doubt it is caused by the machine that we see in this picture (whatever it is, looks like some observation equipment, any gun this size wont be giving a fire ball this huge)
Some Iranian friends can confirm?

It is common for targets to be packed with explosives for better show. Ever seen Tanks blasting into an explosion and belching smoke after hit by an APFSDS or A-10 warhog? That is due to them being packed with explosives. In reality an APFSDS hit would kill everyone inside and cook ammunition, but would not cause belching of smoke like that in videos.
