February 10, 2016 (Persian calendar 1394/11/21) Iran’s first domestically-made amphibious aircraft was put on display at a ceremony on Tuesday with Vice-President for Science and Technology Affairs Sorena Sattari سورنا ستاري in attendance. Speaking in the ceremony, Sattari praised the achievement, saying that with the manufacture of the modern six-seat amphibious aircraft, Iran has joined the small group of countries, such as the US, Russia, Germany and China, which possess the technology to design and manufacture such aircraft. He further emphasized that Iran, with thousands of kilometers of territorial waters, needs this kind of aircraft to carry out various security operations, like border and offshore patrols and aerial surveillance. Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC سپاه پاسداران انقلاب اسلامي) Navy Commander Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi دريابان علي فدوي also addressed the event, hailing the country’s capacity to deploy amphibious aircraft, which have the capability to carry out intelligence and relief and rescue operations.
