Recent videos have surfaced showing Iranian militia members engaged in training exercises with anti-aircraft missiles. This development comes as Iran's military prepares for potential renewed attacks from US and Israeli forces.

The training appears to be a strategic response to lessons learned from recent conflicts, including the downing of various aircraft. Such actions indicate a heightened focus on improving air defense systems.

The deployment of more man-portable air defense systems, or MANPADS, is part of Iran's strategy to strengthen its military capabilities in the face of ongoing tensions in the region.
