Iranian Air Defense Systems

[PeeD]

Good to see that the guy tracks this thread and correctly calls the Meraj-4 a battle management radar.

We see additional to the Bavar-373 open presentation:
- SD-3 lower range component of the SD-4. And maybe the "Mersad-3, Kamin-2" SAM as the third and lowest range component next to the SD-3.
- They were first careful to present only the known 2.container SD-2 TEL configuration but then probably got the go ahead to show the 4 SD-4 TEL.
- Meraj-4 with control container
- Unknown, maybe unloaded SD-3 launcher
- 15th. Khordad system with its SD-3 TEL and radar
- Mersad-3 Kavosh/PAR radar
- What should be a Mersad-3/Kamin-2 launcher vehicle
- All the rest unknown

Note: Gen. Esmaeli again mentions the Sepehr OTH radar with 3000km range to be operating. If it is, its a huge early warning asset in all of the region for Iran and its allies.

Finally Kian multi role drone was officially introduced today:

پهپاد جدید پدافند هوایی رونمایی شد+فیلم


There are two variants, a long endurance version which can accurately hit it's target in more than 1000km away, and a high speed version for use as interceptor reconnaissance missions.

-----
I think the long range version is used against enemy AWACS.

At least the footage shows Kian is not jet-powered, and uses a rocket booster to launch the vehicle before the propeller engine comes in charge.
Also, Arash Radar was unveiled years ago. I am not sure what’s happening there.

@PeeD

is that the Iranian Nebo radar that you were talking about???

In sector scan mode, Nebo-M can track up to 20 ballistic targets at ranges of up to 1,800 kilometers (about 1,120 miles) and at an altitude of up to 1,200 km (745 miles).

It’s another crappy artesh drone. Don’t get too excited.

The drones you need to care about are the ones made by IRGC.

Please look at my post in "Chill Thread" regarding the move.

That's just a normal Russian made Nebo-SVU, note the smaller array.

Is that tropospheric system a part of B-373?!

These were developed a few years back when iran was still building up its ad infrastructure.In many ways the new sam systems were really just the final part of all of this build up.

It’s another crappy artesh drone. Don’t get too excited.

Yes,the lack of standardization and the rather pointless duplication of systems and capabilities among the different military services is rather wasteful of resources,tho this is not unique to iran.
Nonetheless its something that iran in todays world can ill afford to keep doing.

The Islamic Republic of Iran Air Defense is able to easily detect and intercept all targets, including F-35s far away from our borders, using active, passive and advanced radars.

Heres some interesting pics:

This one shows the original type of hawk fire control,such as the ones that iran used to use,and the us modernisation of the system.

And heres the modernised iranian fire control,whats interesting is that for the new console iran appears to have somewhat kept the layout of the old original console with its slanted circular crt screen for the other operator to view.I suspect that this would be so that crews trained on the old system will still be familiar with the layout of the system.
