Iranian Air Defense Systems

[AmirPatriot]

Iran doesn't need Oghab to fire on the move. The reason Tor-M1-2U has that capability is that it is designed to accompany Russian armour like the Tunguska. Being able to fire on the move against helicopters and PGMs is a great capability in a war of maneuver which armoured forces must fight. This requirement also explains why Tor is (mostly) on a tracked chassis and has some light armour. The SA-8 went even further with the vehicle being amphibious.

The Buk is also designed with similar requirements in mind.

Iran needs Oghab to defend long range air defences and strategic sites from standoff weapons. So it can be on a wheeled chassis with no armour and certainly doesn't need to fire on the move. It just needs to be able to pack up and move away quickly. As for actual capability - it is for defence of air defences, not armies. Helicopters are not the threat, hordes of standoff munitions and cruise missiles are. A high number of missiles (more than Tor-M1's 8) is important and an AESA radar to target multiple targets simultaneously.

lets talk about the detection ranges of iranian nebo like VHF radar
http://kowsarhealth.com/products/1192/L-ASR4
According to the published specifications it can detect a target that has a radar cross section of 2 square meter from 600 km away so using the formula below we can calculate the detection ranges for different target RCS :
RCS=1 meter square from 504 km
RCS=0.1 from 284 km
RCS=0.01 from 160 km
RCS=0.001 from 90 km
RCS=0.0001 from 50 km
this makes that radar an excellent candidate for cueing other higher frequency Iranian radars including bavar-373 radars also that radar is better than Nebo-SVU in detection range and some other specifications

RCS=0.1 from 284 km
RCS=0.01 from 160 km
RCS=0.001 from 90 km
RCS=0.0001 from 50 km

So you telling me that this radar can detect a micron from 50 kilometers

no to be exact it's a 1cm*1cm=0.0001, note that each cm=10^-2 so cm^2=10^-4=0.0001 .
almost a peanut.

Bro I think it's theoretical number not real ones.
Now if those numbers are legit it would be very vital to an air defense system

 

[Mr Iran Eye]

- Oqab has been equipped to launch missiles to destroy the enemy targets but it will later be equipped with artillery fire too. - <<<<

@Iskander numbers are correct, yes. These are next gen. high power systems.

Add to that that in VHF-band RAM/RAS are extremely degraded and wave scattering effects that further degrade shaping techniques.
So add two or three zeros to those numbers against real world stealth assets.

well in real world many things could change but the numbers are almost equal to S-300 specifications.

Awesome! TVC concluded!

So Iran has hypersonic missile! Convert it to hit ship, then Iran will be first country to field hypersonic anti ship missile!

Iran already fields hypersonic anti ship missiles
