Fully agreed brother!
BAVAR-373 represents a game-changing AD system for Iran that needs top priority. But then again, it's a really high-end complex. It's not easy to produce, nor is it cheap and it's resource/time intensive.
Hopefully Iran is building them or at prioritizing their...
My thinking is along the same lines.
I've been operating under the assumption that the BAVAR-373 AD system is a "rolling upgrade" platform with many tweaks and additions being added to the system as testing continues. So logically there isn't a "final" form of the BAVAR-373 yet that can be...
That AD system has to still be undergoing upgrades/modifications. Or they don't have enough too spare and it's currently deployed.
I really would like to know just how many they've built so far and are planning to build over the course of the next 5-10 years.
Very high-end capable system.
Oh wow.... that's quite significant then.
4 IL-76 flights and one 747 in NINE days, obviously something of note is going on between I.R.I and the Russian Federation recently.
Seems to be equipment/supplies of some sort, drone most likely.
Well, as far as I'm concerned Iran now has some sort...
You think there is a far-cry chance that those IRGC planes are carrying stuff back from Russia? Whatever that may or may not be lol.
I'm just grasping at straws obviously brother haha.
Maybe there is a chance that Russia has requested combat/recon drones from Iran (god knows Iran has a lot to spare lol) in exchange for Russian technology, weapons or money or something either from Russia itself or captured from the battlefield (Javelin, NLAW, Starstreak).
I wonder if Iran got some sort of TOT from Russia (unannounced) for the TOR-complex and are essentially just producing new ones from scratch whilst adding domestic Iranian upgrades.
We know I.R.I AD technology is quite advanced so the R&D team would be able to implement their own advancements...
The Americans and the West are rapidly depleting their own stocks just to prop up a flailing Ukrainian military.
Some "sources" have pointed out to a flourishing Black Market exchange of weapons going on in Ukraine due to the sheer stupid amount of armaments that are flowing in (objectively...
Are these systems built 100% from the ground up?
Or are they taking the lunchers/radar from old TOR tracked chassis and putting them on these domestically built wheeled platforms?
Remarkable isn't it?
The sheer amount of drones Iran produces and the variety of them is simply astonishing. Love the advancements made on the Ababil and Mohajer lines of UCAVs!
Would love to see a more modern launching system of these loitering drones. 6-9 per TEL, would allow for some massive firepower.
Iranian version of the HAROP essentially by the looks of it although I can't see the targeting PODS.
