Iranian Air Defense Systems

This is beautiful. Everything about this is very modern, disciplined and professionally conducted. I'm personally pleased with the professionalism and modernity of the air defense personnel. It's not even comparable to the other branches of the armed forces. Even something as simple as uniforms are modern.

That SAM launcher looks very odd.

That SAM launcher looks very odd.

Its still the sayyad tel,its just because the launcher is at a right angle to the vehicle,altho what does look noticeably different is the curved fairing behind the cab which encloses probably the on board generator/electronics.The missile canister is also missing the front blow out cap and the front and rear frame works as well.This could be a very early pic of one of the very first prototypes of the sayyad tel.

I didn't know the Sayyad tel could be oriented at such angles. Would this mean Sayyad-2 missiles would be capable of engaging low-altitude projectiles?

Its practically a RIM-66 at least from outside and you can use it as Ground to Ground missile so engaging low flying threat is not problem , but why use it for that just use tor missiles in that case or if you interested in Domestic copy Shahab Thaqeb fot those purpose ?

after all using this is alot cheaper

I suppose it would depend on its minimum engagement altitude/range combination.
As for the tel orientation,because the sayyad like the patriot doest use thrust vectoring but instead uses aerodynamic control surfaces it relies on the launcher for the initial accurate positioning of the missile at launch so it needs a launcher capable of independent rotation and elevation.By comparison the launcher on the s300pmu2 is a pretty simple system which is only capable of elevating to 90 degrees.

Yesterday some projects of the Imam Hossain university were shown on TV.

Most interesting for air defense:

A short range SAM was shown similar to Pantsir. However it is not a Pantsir copy as the missile has a aerodynamic configuration more akin to the Rapier. Hence like the Taer-2 series it seems they went their own way, while going for the same general layout. We expect a short range SAM with anti-PGM capability from Iran, a more capabel follow on to the Crotale. It was clear that it is either based on the TOR-M1 or Pantsir missile system (more cost efficient), at least for the general layout.

A "production" variant of a laser link communication system was shown which looks mature now after they first showed such a system several years ago. It is a jamming proof link for the IADS, e.g connecting TEL to TELAR.

Don't you see similarity between S300 vm and Bavar?

That's brilliant news.

Iran has long needed a Pantisir-like air defence system to deal with low altitude threats and most importantly...cruise missiles.

Have you got any video stills?

No. Bavar is more akin to S-300P series and yet very different. Iran didn't like the S-300V series, apparently because it's non TVC (booster excluded). The P series on the other hand has TVC to something like 40km of its full range.

@N_Al40

No, I hope someone uploads them.

Awesome, if there are any pictures of this system please share it
