1 battalion = up to 6 batteries = up to 48 TELs = up to 192 missiles.
For ONE battalion.
Of course, Iran doesn't have that number, it specifically said "up to", but I don't think we are short in numbers.
By what means were these battalions transported to Iran from Russia? Just drove in and the rest air shipped?Oh, my math was off lol I did say I wasn't keen on air defense
Most of them were transported by trucks. There were pictures all over Twitter.By what means were these battalions transported to Iran from Russia? Just drove in and the rest air shipped?
Excuse me if my question is irrelevant or inapproriate. First post after lurking for a looong time. Used to be quite active on the Iranmillitaryforum
Well, shipped through the Caspian Sea (probably) and then moved through Iran on trucks...
It was secretly tested during last month AD war game. Parts of it (short and medium range batteries) are already deployed and functional under different names like Talash. What has not been publicize is the long range missile (Sayyad 4) launch and its capabilities. Don't expect the whole system to become operational in one shot. Bavar 373 is a combination of many sub systems many of which are already operation.
"The S-300 is a system on another level, a long-range system which is developed and reliable. What the Iranians are doing is developmental work and the production of prototypes. Nobody knows the real characteristics of this complex yet, including the Iranian media. I wouldn't expect this complex to enter into service with the Iranian army in the next few years," Murakhovsky said.
It was test-fired on ballistic missile, target was destroyed successfully. Congratulations brothers.
Also used in the S-400!
