There are some valuable snapshots in this film... about Nazir Radar!

This video is extremely important!

First of all, General Esmaili, commander of Iran's Air Defence Force, confirmed that the S-300 successfully intercepted a ballistic missile!

Second, it included a very brief clip revealing that Iran also got the Lemz 96L6E 3D Acquisition Radar!

This is an advanced Russian PESA radar also used in the S-400! This confirms that Iran got the S-300PMU2, and the most advanced version of it!

"The 96L6 was developed by KB Lira and is built by LEMZ. It was developed to replace the S-band 36D6 Tin Shield medium and high altitude acquisition radar, and the S-band 76N6 Clam Shell low altitude acquisition radar, with a design which is fully mobile and can redeploy as quickly as a 'shoot and scoot' missile battery. The 96L6 can be operating 5 minutes after coming to a stop.

The 96L6 is the standard battery acquisition radar in the S-400 / SA-21 system, and is available as a retrofit for the S-300PM/PMU/PMU1 and S-300PMU2 Favorit / SA-20 Gargoyle as a substitute for the legacy acquisition radars. The radar interfaces to the S-300PMU2 via a radiofrequency datalink or optical fibre cable, and interfaces to older missile batteries via a conventional cable. Interfaces are available for the 30N6E Tomb Stone, the 83M6 battery command post, and Integrated Air Defence System command posts including the Baikal-1E, Senezh-M1E, Osnova-1E and Pole-E. Links to the latter include radiofrequency datalinks or cables.

The radar is a frequency hopping design intended to provide high jam resistance and high clutter rejection. Up to five operator consoles are provided. The planar array antenna employs mechanical beamsteering in azimuth and electronic beamsteering in elevation. Several operating modes are available:

Full azimuth search involves rotating the aperture through 360° and performing vertical sweeps electronically. Medium to low altitude targets can be acquired by constraining the mainlobe elevation angle between -3° and +1.5°, with a 12 second sweep period, or -1.5° and +20°, with a 6 second sweep period. Target velocity is limited to a range of 30 m/s to 1200 m/s. Sector search typically limits sweeps to a 120° sector, with a high sector search between 0° and 60° elevation requiring 8 seconds, or a low sector search between 3° and +1.5° requiring 5.5 seconds. In these modes target velocities are limited to between 50 m/s and 2800 m/s. A dedicated low altitude search mode is also provided, with a 360 sweep performed in 6 seconds, for elevations between -3° and +1.5°.

Two basic configurations of the design are available. The first is the best known, the self propelled TM966E configuration, is carried on the MZKT-7930 chassis, itself derived from the MAZ-543 series first used with the S-300PS. This variant mounts the antenna head on a turntable and carries the equipment cabin, as well as an SEP-2L power generator. The second configuration is semimobile, and uses a pair of trailers, one mounting the antenna head and the SES-75M power supply, the other the equipment cabin, these being connected by up to 100 metres of cable. Accessory options include the 98E6U generator, tow tractors, and either the 24 metre 40V6M or 40 metre 40V6MD semi-mobile mast systems. The latter are carried by semi-trailer and typically towed by a MAZ-537 or other tractor.

Would the missiles made for the Bavar-373 work on the S-300 PMU-2? Because if yes, Iran won't have to buy any more S-300 missiles..

Theoretically yes, but Iran would have to significantly modify the S-300's software and hardware. Even the launch tubes are different. Remember, the Bavar-373 is not a copy of any system, and that includes the S-300. It is completely domestically designed and produced.

No, since Bavar-373 it's different original system, not a "copy of S-300" as like to say many media.

The russian s-400 in syria couldn't shoot down any israeli plane , what do you expect this IR s-300 to do except maybe shooting down a shahab-3 ?!

There is a huge difference between the words "couldn't" and "didn't"! You have no proof to imply that it actually couldn't. But it is clear that it didn't. The reasons are likely political and not military related.

they didn't want to shoot them down ... simple ...

 

[Gothic]

they didn't want to shoot them down ... simple ...

they couldn't even detect them ..

the point is this new s-300 was tested against an iranian made surface to surface missile !

 

[OldTwilight]

they couldn't even detect them ..

really !? when F16 become stealth fighter !?
they simply don't shoot at their friends for Syrian and Iranian and Hezbollah sake ...

don't forget that some of so called Israelis have Russian origin ...

Not talking about the whole system, just the missiles with software integration..

 

[Hack-Hook]

Not talking about the whole system, just the missiles with software integration..

you must modify the launcher , Bavar is a hot launch system and S-300 is cold Launch.
I think the best can be done is to integrate command system and radars.
