The Iranian armed forces have held military drills, in which they test-fired missiles and shot down mock-enemy drones over the Arak nuclear facilities.

Part of the exercise was to train for unpredictable scenarios, Russia Today reported.

The war games were codenamed 'Beit-ul-Muqaddas 27' and held in a desert area in Kashan County.

Many units are taking part, including the infantry, armored and artillery units, and air support, as well as rapid reaction and elite teams.

As part of the drills, Iran tested new domestic-made sniper rifles and military vehicles.
