Iran Increased its Drone Production 10 -Folds Since the June 2025 War with Israel

Anticipating future hostilities, Iran increased in its drone production 10-folds following the June 2025 Israel attacks, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Alireza Sheikh said on Thursday.

Iran increased the production rate of attack drones tenfold during a seven-month period after the US-Israeli war in June last year, he added.

Sheikh reiterated that Iran’s “great achievements” in the field of drones and missiles disrupted the enemy's defense equations in a way that “our pinpoint missiles accurately hit their targets." he said in comments to Farsnews.

Iranian military experts and technicians have in recent years made substantial headway in manufacturing a broad range of indigenous equipment, making the armed forces self-sufficient in the weaponry sphere.

Iranian officials have repeatedly stressed that the country will not hesitate to enhance its military capacities, including its missile and drone power, which are entirely meant for defense, and that Iran’s defense capabilities will never be subject to negotiation.

Sheikh stated that the Iranian Armed Forces are prepared for any possible scenario in the future by learning from the past events.

The senior commander pointed to Iran's “very extensive” strategic achievements and noted, “Today, we can say that the Islamic Republic of Iran has created a new literature in the field of defense and security.”
