IRAN TO TEACH STUDENTS TO HUNT DRONES
10:24 20.08.13
Iran’s military is reportedly introducing a new subject in the school
curriculum and that is, ‘how to hunt down drones’.
The Iranian school children will be given classes this exciting yet
bizarre subject once the session resumes next month.
A senior commander of the Basij militia said that there would be
changes to the content, teachers and duration of lessons in ‘defensive
preparedness’, the Scotsman reports.
Brigadier General Ali Fazli said that the change of content will
include the hunting of spy drones and a section on tracking and
downing unmanned aircraft would be also added to high school textbooks.
General Fazli gave no details of how the lessons would be taught, but
presumably they will include time spent on computers doing game-like
simulations, the report added.
An Iranian-born lecturer at the Interdisciplinary Centre in Herzliya
in Israel, Meir Javedanfar questioned if the children will down drones
with slingshots.
He said that the main goal behind such a subject is not to teach
children to hunt down unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) but to brainwash
them that America is Iran’s eternal enemy and peace with it will be
detrimental to the Iran.
