it’s Isafahan international airport. Which merely has military side to it. Not some top secret heavily defended airbase when a random Twitter person can take videos of air defense crews from across the street.

And yes Iran doesn’t keep massive towing capacity vehicles on standby for a quadcopter scenario. There is no incentive to move the radar quickly before an military investigation is complete, Israel/US had real time satellites and knew what happened already, Iran knows this.

So you saying IRGC said “oh my gosh we need to move these systems quickly before some nerd on Twitter orders satellite photos and exposes us”?



Lol you are not hiding a S-300 “static” layout. Not with camo nets and not with Harry Potter cloak of invisibility.

The layout is visible from LEO.

Let me tell you how easy it is for military. Use machine learning model by feeding AI hundreds of pictures of S-300/S-400 layout taken from high altitude (training data) until it recognizes the layout with high probability.

Then you let your existing spy satellites take hundreds and thousands of photos of iranian territory over the course of months and years. Those photos then get sent thru the AI model and detect every “static” location of S-300 (wether there still theirs or not is irrelevant).

This gets added to Pentagon military database on Iranian air defense assets.

Camo nets are to hide TELS and radars when they are near front lines or “shoot and scoot mode” from drones and low flying ISR.

Even then it really only has chance of working in green and forest terrain not desert that is empty for miles.

So that means Iran received the towed version of this radar. Perhaps a truck mounted version can be requested/expected as an improvement for the overall system.
 
No, what I’m asking is what little thing is being suggested is being covered? How bad can it be if a net conceals it? I don’t understand what the charge is here.

No, they got truck mounted version. But if drone disabled the truck engine or did damage to axels or transmission then truck cannot move. One reason why Iran didn’t move or like I said they don’t care to move it until investigation is complete.

The charge is the quadcopter impacted the radar TEL. Thus damaging it, hence why black scorches were detected which suggests there was at the minimum some type of electrical fire/explosion on the vehicle.

The “cope” is that the black scorches are just shadows of a net that Iran had placed to either “catch” drones or hide the vehicle (camo). That the light and position from the sun in 2nd photo (after photo) is causing the
Shadow to appear vs the 1st photo.


Anyway, answer should be coming within 48 hours. A “OSINT” member has already seen 30cm resolution photo and is waiting for AirBus (satellite provider) to give permission to post it.

So we don't know anything with certainty. YET we discuss it here wasting bandwidth. Comment after meaningless comment. Much more so than the successful strike against Zionia. Does this make sense to you?

All things being equal why don't we discuss this instead?

What is there to talk about there?

The justification for that post is a unknown video clip claiming two dots in the sky are Sayyad missiles from 15 Khordad going to intercept Israeli missiles. How can anyone verify that?

And besides that original Iranian “OSINT”account making the assertion (and others parroting it), no one has since discussed or analyzed what that video actually is.

We sit and debate for days <1M and 3M resolution satellite photos when not in Iran’s favor. Yet accept a blurry video with a story behind it as fact if ‘pro-Iran’.

Nice hit by Burkan here. In most videos it tends to show bad accuracy and completely miss the target but when it does hit, the destruction is significant. Possibly Hezbollah's most powerful (non-SRBM) weapon.
 
Israel has been killing top Hezbollah commanders via drone strikes on cars quite regularly in recent days. Top missile and air defence commanders killed recently.

In response, Hezbollah today targeted Akka/Acre for the first time. The Hezbollah-Israel front is escalating and looks headed towards more violent clashes every day.

Or the quadcopter damaged the wheels or transmission of the radar vehicle. And the necessary vehicles to tow it away were not in the vicinity.

Now the question becomes if what did the 3 quadcopters in Tabriz hit?

All focus has been on quadcopters in isafhan, but a similar attack occurred in Tabriz.

Well, Two days ago one of the Iranian sources that i consider highly reliable said that the radar was targeted by FPV quadcopters and it suffered some damage to it's panel.
The same source said that the Sparrow missiles self- destructed before entering Iranian air-space, After Iranian AD systems from Tabriz, Abdanan, And another unspecified city locked on them because Israel feared that the second staged of the operation True Promise might be initiated.
