Kazemeini added that the drill will be held on October 11-12.
Referring to the IRGC plans for the upcoming Sacred Defense Week, Kazemeini said 15 exhibitions will be held in Tehran.
The Iranian commander added that presenting military achievements, scientific accomplishments particularly in the defense sector and introducing the characteristics of past, current and future wars were among plans made for the Sacred Defense week.
