Iranian Air Defense Systems

Could the Joshan pesa be added to Bavar to make it passive, if the need should arise?
Can a system have both an aesa and pesa and switch between them?

Yes. Theoretically yes. I am not sure if it is practically done but it can be added to AESA radars to be used in specific situations.

PESA is not passive radar...it is named pesa because it use one transmitter for all arrays ,unlike AESA...where all modules are also transmitters and recivers but PESA is radar which transmit and recive signals as any radar...

It is just a military jargon. Not really passive.
The separate pure receiver component will be passive which is a plus.

It is same technology..it depend on target direction and attlitude when and where missile will kick on boosters.....Tor and S-300 use same cold lunch technology..it is missile where you see difference ,Tor dont use TVC to direct missile,instead it use side boosters..while s-300 kick on main propulision after it is ejected using cold lunch,Iranian version eject missile than side booster kick on...so at same way,you can see clearly if watch video at slow speed .what happens after cold lunch depends on many factors and there could be even different missile but that doesnt change anything..cold lunch is cold lunch...Normaly I would not waste my time to prove something which is clear,but here it is..cold lunch,Iranian version

And than boom..booster

Here ,at last image you can see this side boosters just kick on....first one or two will ignite to direct missile than all boosters will kick on

Video clips above show M2 version,Iran got M1E and it could be some difference between Iranian version and org in sequnces or ejection speed..or missile..but fundamentaly everything is same..cold lunch ejects missile without using missile own boosters or motor..and it ends there,what came after that doesnt change cold lunch technology

I will wait for Imad Media’s video. Iran is hiding something about this system similar to the Bavar revealing.

With Majid and Morpheus we got clear concise footage of engaging the target.

With Iran TOR-M1 the video shows the system at the daytime, but only shows a launch footage from a terrible bottom angle in the dead of night and it only last a few seconds.

So something is not right about this prototype and I’m going to wait for more evidence to come out rather than argue and speculate.

I decided to finally clean this up into one pic

And this is a close up of the radar

Interestingly it looks like its got 2 sets of antennas,you`ve got the rotating antenna on top,and what looks like it could be a set of 4 fixed panel [aesa?] antennas underneath.

Maybe the lower array does something similar to the radome of the original morpheus?

It’s what allows for 360 coverage.

"one of the commanders in exercise said Talash-5 has launched" It seems like Iran was testing Talash-5 , up until now we only had Talash-1-2 and 3

Iran should adopt this anti thermal technology for their TELs so far I only see anti thermal camo nets for the front of the car. Not the wheels or doors.

" one of the commanders in exercise said Talash-5 has launched " It seems like Iran was testing Talash-5 , we only have Talash-3

Talash-5 may be Joshan and I also have a candidate for Talash-4

Talash-5 may be Joshan and I also have a candidate for Talash-4

could very well be Joshan yes

IRIADF has 5 "hubs" equipped with S-200

Talash projects improve these 5 hubs, step by step to create "fortresses"
Now Talash-5 has started. New radars, new missiles (Sayyad-2, -3, etc.)

 

[skyshadow]

well now we know Tabas radar has 350 km range and +100 km missile engagement range.

Tabas is older tech. More vulnerable in ECW environment. Lower cost however...better to defend less vital areas.

Need to make it at least a 4 canister system if not a 6 one (3 on each side).

Assuming this is the prototype, but final version shouldn’t have 2 missiles. Too little for a SOHRAD.

It can carry 4-8
