Iranian Air Defense Systems

[Philosopher]

Just compare the R&D budget of Iran, Russia and China. Iranian does have the technology to build anything even closer to Russian defence system. Iranian system (Babar-373) is crap compare to Russian S-300, S-350 and S-400.

Iranian Bavar-373 is superior to S-300/350 in every parameter, read article below:

Iranian Bavar-373 long range air defence system- A quantum leap in Iran's air defence capability

Author: Philosopher Category: Air defence In 2007, an Iran with a very limited air defence network signed a contract with the Russians for the S-300 air defence system to help protect its air space from a potential airstrike. That deal ended up being embroiled in the tense political...

Morever, Iranian air defences have shown their capabilities in practise already, see RQ-4 incident etc. Do some research before commenting on such topics.

it's just my opinion, i think Russia might try to sell s-400 or s-500 for Iran as they are defensive weapons and weapon embargo does not include defensive weapons. now why Iran might want to buy it?? because we already paid the money for su-30 and yak-130s and if Russia can't deliver them we have to buy other things they can provide.
Russia is gauging it's options i guess.

No man it's almost a norm in maket of sellers , if you wanna some technologies you should buy sth else too

Iran needed some air defense and anti ship missiles Chinese forced Iran to but their Abgarmkon (F7) too ....I remember one of commanders said this in a documentary show

Afaik, mersad-16 is operational, but upgrading all the mersad systems to mersad-16 gives the IRIAD a huge boost and makes it more survivable.

When the Chabahar one goes live, then it would be 9 total Qadir radars? I'm guessing they're planning for over 10 in the long run.

These radars are very capable and important as early warning systems. Now awaiting for the 3000km ranged Seperh to be officially inaugurated.

" Qadir radar images that joined the country's air defense network today
The main change compared to the previous model of Qadir radar is the increase of transmitter antennas and their installation outside the center of the radar as four sets of dual antennas (8 antennas in total).
The previous model had only one transmitter antenna in the center of the radar."

Nothing official has been shown. Only pictures of it were some old satellite photos.
