For years, #UAE has been dreaming about occupying #Iranian Islands of Lesser Tunb, Greater Tunb & Abumusa in #PersianGulf. During exercise "Great Propher-17", #IRGC simulated an operation for rapid deployment of its Saberin specal forces to the Islands to counter UAE's invasion.
The first step was to transfer the Saberin special forces of #IRGC Land Forces by Il-76TD and An-74T-200 transport aircraft of #IRGCASF from #Tehran to #Qeshm. You can seen their Towfan MRAPs and other equipment also boarding the Il-76MD/TDs here 👇
In the next stage, Mi-171 transport helicopters of #IRGC Army Aviation escorted by AH-1J Cobra attack helicopters airlifted the Saberin Special Forces of #IRGC Land Forces to Island of Greater Tunb in #PersianGulf.
In total, 20 helicopters of #IRGC Army Aviation participated in the exercise "Great Prophet-17" in #PersianGulf. They were Mi-171 transport helicopters, Bell 214A & Agusta Bell 205 Assault Helicopters, Agusta Bell 206 observation helicopters & AH-1J Cobra Attack helicopters.
