Iranian Air Defence Systems | News and Discussions

[Mr Iran Eye]

This was entirely predictable to me, and the further the war progresses, the stronger the Iranian army becomes. Kudos to the Iranian scientists who are discovering such advanced techniques.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced:

"After monitoring, analyzing, and fully identifying the enemy's vulnerable points during the first three weeks of the war, the intelligence and operational commanders of the IRGC have introduced new offensive tactics and more modern systems into the battlefield for a new round of impact-oriented operations. The battlefield will become tighter and more difficult for the enemy than before."

That's convenient, another US fighter allegedly hit by Iranian SAMS manages to make it back to base.

I sense the sarcasm here but assuming you didn’t hear about the f 35 that was hit by Iranians air defenses and making it back to its airbase and the fa 18 which hasn’t been denied immediately by American forces is becoming more and more likely that it was hit honestly they would have come out and denied it almost immediately

US MQ-9 downed over Shiraz and Israeli Orbiter downed over Minab

The Bavar 373 that was given to Russia, was that export or domestic version.

Russia is swarming with chabad Jews, a few close to Putin, you can't trust your best defensive tech to Russia.

The drones weren't really compromised, though Ukraine trouble shooted them in war. the Bavar should have been enhanced by Russia if given to Russia, as they did the drones. You don't trust Russia, you use Russia.

This never happened. Bavar 373 never reached mass production stage with the Iranian military, it was still in prototyping and testing stage. Few units were produced and likely destroyed earlier in war or hidden away in caves to avoid unnecessary destruction.

Why was it never mass produced? Performance issues?

Design changes and production delays most likely.

There were at least 3 variants in R&D. The intial variant while very capable was also very expensive to produce and relied on separate expensive radar for target acquisition.

The second variant had the infamous radar mast on the TELAR itself which meant even with its targeting radar compromised it could still target enemy planes on its own.

In the end, it was a highly ambitious project and we saw at least 1 Arman TELAR (the successor to Bavar 373) targeted in a CENTCOM video. So clearly some units were built in a limited capacity.

I just think it needed a few more years to be a polished platform and reach full mass production.

IRIADF intercepts US RQ-21 drone over Strait of Hormuz

Some captured pilots will add more cards in Iranian hands.
These missiles somehow hit close but not enough to down the jet on the spot.
