Well, they have too start somewhere. First fake ones, hopefully one they can make a real one.

Iran is building several high-tech long-range radars. The Moragheb radar is a three-dimensional 3D radar for discovering and detecting air targets (ballistic missiles) at high altitudes.

Iran at the end of this Iranian year will unveil one full set of the bavar 373 air defense System and they will test the system on live air targets.

Is the moragheb a separate system,ie a strategic warning system,or a component of bavar 373,ie a dedicated abm radar like the s300vm high screen?

i do not know they did not say anything ether but i think this radar will join bavar 373 eventually.

Then we could be possibly be looking at something like an iranian version of the s300vm High Screen,a dedicated abm radar for the bavar 373.

they say that they tested the radar at the recent air defense exercise but was not shown to public.

I think this delay in the release time of the bavar 373 is because they are updating it or adding to it with there modern and more advanced systems.

In the IRIADF the Meraj-4 will be the most powerful higher band, volume search, mobile radar. It is officially classified as an AESA design.

The Moghareb is for the lower end of that role, at lower price. It should be either a PESA design or just a planar array without electronic scanning (a similar case to the Matla-ol-Fajr-2/3 but with 3D capability). The array size can be about the same as the Meraj-4 or even larger.

To make it short: Its a S-band early warning radar with large antenna array, like the MoF-2 it can hopefully be acquired in large numbers due to it cost effective layout.
The Meraj-4 is harder to detect, has higher MBTF and provides better quality targeting information for SAMs.

Will Bavar 373 surpass S-300 PMU-2 ?

Will Bavar 373 surpass S-300 PMU-2 ?

Certainly looks like it is heading in that direction

The question is why does Iran want ABM? The Saudis have DF-3 and DF-21 MRBMs which are very hard to intercept for even dedicated ABM, let alone a converted anti-aircraft system. As for the Israelis, only one of their missiles needs to get through, and they have other options like the sub-launched Popeye.

The number they spew about Popeye is just nonsense.

DF-3 is a 1970’s liquid rocket with very poor accuracy and likely has a predictable trajectory. So no it’s not “very hard” to intercept. Saudi Arabia has been able to intercept several Yemen launched scud missiles. Scud like missiles are actually quite easy to intercept with a decent success rate.

The DF-21 is more advanced with a low CEP, but again possibility to intercept is there if it lacks adequate counter measures.

Lastly, your Israel example is preposterous in that it assumes Israel will nuke Iran which is just fantasy. Israel nuking Iran will be the end of Israel itself as Israel cannot survive a nuclear strike while Iran can survive several.

ABM is not a perfect technology but even a 30% success rate is better than zero % (having no ABM).

Fortunately the DF-21 is easier to intercept than the DF-3. Both are non-terminally guided, the DF-3 is just faster.
One reason for the S-300PMU2 are just those two... However it is likely that the DF-3 was already phased out.
