Iranian Air Defense Systems

Are those the illuminators in front of the missile?
Those are engagement radars.

Thanks for the post.
I think the radar is probably used for the Talash air defence? I never heard of a separate system called sayyad unless they're referring to sayyad missiles which is probably the case as on the vehicle they talk about sayyad missile air defence. But the term "sayyad missile air defence" seems vague to me as sayyad-2 and 3 are used in different system to sayyad-4.

Could sayyad be final production name for Talash air defence?
Yes, the name "Sayyad air defense system" is confusing as we have Sayyad family of missiles which are used in systems like Talash and Bavar.

It is possible that this radar is also part of Talash systems as commander of IRGC ASF Hajizadeh stated that "Sayyad 2" participated in IRGC ASF parade.

After the radar several other components of systems were paraded but due to moronic TV directing, there was no footage of accompanying systems.

The system below that I mentioned as unknown has been correctly identified by PeeD as "Saegheh" ECM jammer.

These moronic journalist really make your blood boil. I remember on some occasions some new systems were about to be shown but the video suddenly jumped to some other random part.

Interesting. Wish there was more info on it.

Do we work on these types of radars? I mean "Quantum radar" ....

According to IRIADF commander, Brigadier General Esmaeli Iran is going to operationally deploy "Talash" air defense system at central Iranian desert, this will be the first official deployment of "Talash" air defense.

"Mersad" air defense system will also be deployed at central Iran.

So it says they are going to use Sayad-3 missile with Talash 3 instead of the old S-200 missiles.

My understanding was that Sayad-3 is the long range missile that is going to complement Bavar system.

So does it mean that both Talash 3 and Bavar 373 are using the same missiles? So the only difference between the two systems are their radars?

Talash 3 was only a development phase of Talash system, Talash 3 no longer exists.

Talash system now uses both Sayyad 2 and sayyad 3.

Talash development phases:
Talash 1(Sayyad 2)>Talash 2(Sayyad2M)>Talash3(Sayyad2M and S200)>Talash(Sayyad2 and Sayyad3)

Also Bavar373 main missile is Sayyad4 and we have no indication todate that it uses Sayyad3 too(although it is possible).

Any word on testing or genuine mass production. I suppose it must be tested before it can be manufactured further.

It will be tested on a ballistic missile this year (Persian year ends in March). So we should see. If the test is successful, then we will all know about the success. If it is not, then probably it will be back to R&D to correct any problems with the system. It was already tested on drones about two years ago. But Iran's president has asked it to be tested on incoming ballistic missile.

Iranian forces launched air defense drills on Monday in the central province of Isfahan, Fars news agency reported, aiming to display its ability to safeguard the country's airspace.

The Islamic Republic of Iran's Air Force (IRIAF) is holding the three-day maneuvers in which fighter bombers, reconnaissance aircraft and home-built drones will take part.

The exercise "will unveil only parts of its capabilities to safeguard our country's airspace," Brigadier General Massoud Rouzkhosh was quoted as saying by state news agency IRNA.

"The drill aims to counter any airspace incursion by the enemies," he added.

The air force, comprised largely of U.S.-made jets obtained before the 1979 revolution, is particularly weak compared to Iran's Gulf Arab rivals which have spent billions of dollars on Western fighter aircraft this year alone.

Iran unveiled a home-built drone this month that it said was capable of carrying bombs, in what appeared to be another copy of a U.S. reconnaissance drone that Iran captured five years ago.
