Iran's Islamic Republic Air Force

The Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) is Iran’s military aviation branch tasked with defense and national security. It operates a variety of aircraft, including fighters, transport planes, and helicopters, primarily acquired through domestic production and imports. The IRIAF emphasizes strategic defense, with capabilities focused on regional security and sovereignty, and integrates advanced technology with traditional military tactics. Despite international sanctions affecting procurement, Iran has developed its own aircraft and weapons systems, making its air force a key component of its military power and regional influence.
