Iranian Air Defence Systems | News and Discussions

[Comandante]

If Iran had AWACS aircraft, it could ensure that air defenses were active only when needed and remained hidden until then.

Iranian short range air defence missile systems:

• Tondar

4 missile canisters on Aras truck, IIR guidance, range unknown

• 9th Dey

5-30km firing range, 20km altitude ceiling

• Qaem-118

25km range

• Majid

4-8 canisters per vehicle (Aras-2 truck), 8km engagement range, max target speed 2 mach

• Missile 358

loitering missile with 100km loitering range, 8.5km flight ceiling, 700km/hr speed

• Missile 359

loitering missile with 150km loitering range, 9.2km flight ceiling, 1000km/hr speed

 

[Persian Gulf]

• Zoubin

360 degree AESA radar, 30km detection range and 20km engagement range, 4-8 canisters per launch vehicle, most high end of Iran's SHORAD systems

• Dezful

Iranian copy of Tor-M1, assumed 25km range

• Azarakhsh

50km detection range for radar and 25km detection range for EO sensor, 10km engagement range, 4 missiles per launch vehicle

These versions are versions of Tor-M2 modified with Iranian sauce

I don't think Iran ever got Tor M-2

and second photo looks like CGI?

I didn't say they received the Tot M2 but that they built an equivalent form in Iranian sauce. There is a difference in the radar between the first Dezful and the new arrivals

one of the most powerful fully mobile air defence systems in the world - Mehran

Mehran 1 missile with 200km range
Mehran 2 missile with 320km range

radar has 450km range

developed by IRGC-ASF but not seen in service yet

The Herz-9, Ya Zahra system seems to have disappeared recently, it was not even visible in videos of exercises. Moreover, the Chinese ships had six launchers, which also appeared in the demonstration video in Iran, but were not used anywhere.

they are very old systems and likely (hopefully) replaced by newer Iranian systems like Majid Tondar Qaem-118 9 Dey etc

That small missile looks like it could be used in an A2A role as well.

IMO Pirooz it is a Delavieh (Kornet based) anti tank missile. It woudn't be an anti serial system. As Comandante well said, Ya Zahra would be based in a french origin system called "Crotale". This system is short ranged and guidande would be RC, very easy to jam nowadays. Maybe because of this Ya Zahra and Rapier are now being discarded as anti serial system. Would be useful still for drones and cruise missiles like Tomahawk, but not for modern US aircrafts.

You said: IMO, Pirooz is a Delavieh (Kornet-based) anti-tank missile. It wouldn't be an anti-serial system.

Look at the photos, the Pirooz's firing angle, so can you prove to us that flying battle tanks exist? I've never seen one in my life!!

I don't think that Iran has the luxury of decomissioning air defence assets even if they are obselete ones. Rapier is even older and it's still in use.
