The Iranian media channel Tanzim Military reports this morning on another joint exercise in the Caspian Sea of the northern Indian Ocean, between the three countries: Iran, China and Russia.
The Quds Force deputy of the Revolutionary Guards said: "Sometimes, in addition to training and operational missions, Iran sends teams abroad to train resistance forces and at the same time hosts various international forces for training."
It was also reported this morning that the Iranian defense minister flew to Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan for the meeting of the defense ministers of the member states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
Last March, the countries held a live-fire exercise in a central waterway in the Mediterranean Sea. A statement from the Chinese Ministry of Defense said: "The purpose of the exercise is to strengthen maritime cooperation and maintain regional peace and stability."
The exercise included more than 20 warships. Russia and Iran are arming each other. Iran is the leading country in the UAV industry producing the tools on Russian soil under the guise of an automobile industry.
