Western Chopper Shooed Away from Army's Drill Zone
Fars News Agency :: Western Chopper Shooed Away from Army's Drill Zone
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian warships shooed away the military chopper of a western country which was approaching the Iranian Navy's wargame zone, a senior Iranian commander stated.
"Yesterday, a chopper which belonged to the trans-regional countries tried to approach the region of Velayat 90 exercises, but it left the area when it received a serious warning after it ignored two other warning signals of our units," Lieutenant Commander of the Iranian Navy Admiral Seyed Mahmoud Moussavi said.
Admiral Moussavi declined to mention any further details about the development, but the United States, Britain and France are the only trans-regional powers who have deployed troops in the region.
Iran's naval forces started massive wargames in international waters in the Sea of Oman and the Indian Ocean on Saturday.
The naval maneuvers dubbed Velayat 90 are due to cover an area stretching from the East of the Strait of Hormoz in the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Aden for 10 days.
Moussavi reminded that according to the international rules, the military units of the trans-regional states are not allowed to enter the exercise zone.
During the wargames, the Iranian naval forces will display their latest equipment, achievement and tactics.
In May 2010, Iran's air-defense units shooed away a US military reconnaissance plane which was seeking to approach the Iranian Army's war-game zone in the Strait of Hormuz and Northern Indian Ocean.
