TEHRAN -- New generation of Iranian fighters are capable of flying about 3000 kilometers with no fueling, Iran’s Air Force Commander Ahmad Miqani revealed here on Saturday.

He also stated that Iran has made good progresses in producing radar-evading planes.
Miqani added the army is now in its best position to defend the country against any external invasions.
The top commander said that the enemies may start a war against Iran but they cannot finish it.
“The enemies may launch a war but the end (of that war) will not be determined by them,” he warned.
Insisting on the ‘defensive’ nature of Iranian military, the commander said, “Iran will never attack other nations, and the regional countries are our brothers.”
The U.S. and its main ally Israel have not ruled out military strike on Iran for its peaceful nuclear program
