Iran’s IRGC Holds Exhibition of Domestically Developed Missiles and Drones in Tehran

The inclusion of downed US and Israeli equipment alongside domestically produced systems turns a technical showcase into a narrative exercise, framing reverse-engineering and battlefield recovery as evidence of indigenous capability. For regional security watchers, the emphasis on hypersonic and ballistic systems signals Tehran's intent to market the IRGC's aerospace portfolio as a credible deterrent despite sanctions pressure. Whether such exhibitions translate into export demand or procurement interest from aligned states remains the open question, and the gap between display and demonstrated operational performance is what bears watching.
