Iranian Air Defense Systems

[TheImmortal]

Drive or fly them in and put them immediately active. But I'm just talking, no need to do that atm.

They flew in at least one Iranian AD to T4, got destroyed after being unloaded and an Iranian transport aircraft got reportedly hit with shrapnel.

Driving is the most dangerous option as it’s sitting on the flatbed of a massive truck and is easy prey for a knock then kill attack. Plus drivi thru Iraq and Syria everyone will be taking video of it and posting on social media, not that Israel needs OSINT to track Iranian weapon shipments.

Even if you unloaded two by air and immed turned them on (not practical as they need to be in special areas) Israel would just drop 20-30 CMs and the system would be overwhelmed.

Again the lack of a Iranian air defense systems is a testament to how easy it is to track incoming Iranian military flights on OSINT let a spy organization like Mossad

There is false impression how much the Israelis know and what they are able to attack and when.

Syrian Pantsir and Buk already intercept a good portion of Israeli Delilah CM attacks.
9th Day in a whole battalion means 96 ready to fire missiles with 32 simultaneous interceptions.

Smuggle them in slowly and activate them once all elements are there.
Syrian Pantsir + 1-2 9th Day battalions would make Delilah attacks against Damascus nearly impossible. Rampage being the only solution and only available in limited numbers due to size and cost.

But Iran won't start such a expensive game as long as it supplies what it wants with minor interruptions.
Israeli strikes are not massive enough or hitting important assets, hence let them continue and wait for Syrians to handle it on their own.

The system elements are so small that they can easily masked as shipping containers. Maybe with huge 9th Day stocks in future and Syrians failing to create AD umbrella around Damascus, we will see such a scenario, but not now.

I can see the BUK reference as the original systems (Tabas and others) were built on a similar to a BUK chassis.

I don’t see how anyone can confuse a 3rd Khordad with a LR all in one system like S-300.

1. S-300 is the only Russian air defence system Iran has ever imported
2. All Iranian weapons are copies of Russian weapons in some way
3. Ipso ergo 3rd Khordad = S-300

Makes perfect sense, see?

so yeah, I read that this radar is much more capable than the belarusian counterpart and that the era of "stealth" is pretty over with it.....

Put it on a flatbed. Covered by a tarp or a shipping container.

Israel makes baseless claims and some people here eat it up. When Israel struck Syrian Pantsir Missile launchers they showed the footage as evidence. where is the evidence that they actually hit a lone IRGC Tor-M1 in Syria?

it Wasn’t a TOR-M1

 

[Ich]

it Wasn’t a TOR-M1

You mean IRGC did not send TOR-M1 to Syria? Instead IRGC has Pantsir in Syria? Doesnt it sound crazy?

 

[Bahram Esfandiari]

it Wasn’t a TOR-M1

The story I have heard was that it was a IRGC TOR-M1. What did you hear it was?

4 areas of development needed

defense against BMs, HGVs, and other hypersonic weapons - a solution = something like an s500
defense against swarms of drones and missiles -a solution is layered defense including systems with very high number of smaller missiles, better ciws and radars
defense against stealth drones and stealth missiles - a solution is improved radars and missiles; systems to knock out threats with heat signatures for targeting stealth missiles
defense against missiles/drones using EW - a solution is better ECM -radars and ADS missiles
