Iranian Air Defense Systems

and here , still some people promoting Iran buying S-400

S-500 is a good purchase since it’s interceptors and radar tech can detect BM/Hypersonic CM interception and better suited for VLO interception. It’s a supplement to a standard system like S-300 or Bavar. Range is 600KM which completely dwarfs anything Iran can build at the moment and is capable of LEO satellite interception.

S-400 is debatable purchase, but Iran’s S-300 purchase was not adequate for the size of Iran’s territorial grounds and likely enemy (US/Israel) they didn’t purchase enough systems.

Rouhani promised us footage of Bavar intercepting a BM....then radio silence since then. Which leads me to believe Bavar is still in development and not mass production especially since they are looking to build Bavar Gen 2 already (forgot what they called it).

Armand?
 

Yes, that’s the name. I don’t understand this internal naming system. They should stick to a method like the export name designation system they have for weapons.

But the fact Armand is being built before Bavar 373 has even entered mass production points to an ever changing system. Thus adding a S-500 or heavily upgraded S-400 variant is not a bad decision at all because Iran’s initial S-300 purchase wasn’t for a lot of systems. Better to oversaturate the air defense grid than underman it.

Even China one of the world leaders in domestic air defense production bought S-300 and S-400 and likely will be the first export S-500 country. So this excuse “we have Bavar” doesn’t make sense. China also has deep domestic production capability, yet it adds Russian systems to learn from and diversify.

you guys mistaken one thing and that is you think our other systems are inferior to s-300, they are not people see 3rd of khordad and see buk-M2 while in reality its capabilities are more comparable to S-300 than Buk , the same case is about 15th of khordad and Tactical Sayyad and nobody can argue about 3rd of khordad and 15th of khordad are mass produced and fielded . bavar was not mass produced (it could have been if they wanted) because they saw very soon they will be build a 2nd generation of it that make a lot more sense than 1st generation that its capabilities are very near to 15th of khordad or 3rd of khordad

and also you guys are in wrong assumption that export version of S-500 come with longest range missiles , it will not at the best it come with second tire of missiles that in that regard put it in class of s-400 . it will be superior to S-400 because of its more advanced Radars but missile range it will be in class of S-400.
and regarding the radar , already our bavar have better RADAR than s-400 . so any money spent on air defense is better be spent on our own system rather than buying export version of Russians air defenses.
 
wonder why people still say Ghadir is copy of Rezonans-NE , its not
their working frequency is different
Ghadir : 28 MHz,29.7 MHz
Rezonans : 3 MHz,24 MHz

they have different bandwith
Ghadir: 60 kHz,1000 kHz
Rezonans: 20 kHz,40 kHz

Working Mode
Ghadir: AM
Rezonans: USB

more importantly Modulation
Ghadir: Shaped Pulse
Rezonans: FMOD

ceiling
Ghadir:300km
Rezonans:100km

these radar are nothing alike , the only similarity is that they both are modular and you can add as much module as you like
here you can ever hear them on Radio , that's even complete difference . it is really become annoying people claim Iran Radar is copy of Russian ones

It Covers Saudi BM/AF in the deep territory. I wonder if there is a track/Engagement radar nearby as well.
Looks like it wants to see things coming from the direction of Diego Garcia as well. CM launches perhaps.

Doesn't OTH do tracking as well? Or Im guessing it is very crude, and can just give blimps of a presence.

Seems vulnerable to special forces sabotage considering its proximity to shore.
