Brig. Gen. Sabahifard stresses boosting deterrence power

Enhancing the achievements in the military field is directly related to the increase in the deterrence power, he said, emphasizing that without research, investigation and exploration activities, “We will not enjoy a bright future at all levels of science, military, industry, medicine, etc. in the country.”
