TEHRAN – Defense Minister Amir Hatami said on Wednesday that the Iran Helicopter Support and Renewal Company (IHSRC) has managed to overhaul 1357 helicopters despite the sanctions.

Brigadier General Hatami further said the Islamic Republic is a turning point toward joy and growth on the one hand and the peak of the enemies’ spite toward Iran on the other, IRNA reported.

“The enemies believed that we wouldn’t see the fortieth anniversary of the [Islamic] Revolution, but the enemies and their masters had failed to understand the philosophy of the revolution,” he added.
