Iran has started to manufacture parachutes for the first time, IRNA reported.

According to commander of the 65th Special Forces Airborne Brigade, Khosrov Khosrovi, the parachutes are being manufactured by Iranian military experts.

The commander added that the 65th Special Forces Airborne Brigade will show the parachutes in action, on the occasion of Eid al-Adha celebrations.
