Tehran introduced its own air defense system
At a ceremony in Tehran, Iranian Defense Minister, Brigadier General Amir Khatami, presented the national air defense system.
The Iranian air defense system was officially handed over to the Iranian Air Force at a ceremony held in Tehran. The system is called "Hodad-15".
Commenting on this event, Brigadier General Amir Khatami said that the new air defense system is integrated with the Sayad 3 long-range missiles and is capable of bearing various types of targets, including military aircraft and UAVs within 150 kilometers, and is able to track them at a distance of 120 kilometers.
In addition, according to the Minister, “Hordad-15” is capable of detecting subtle air targets within 85 radius of kilometers, and knock them down within 45 radius of kilometers. Among other things, the new air defense system is capable of simultaneously intercepting 6 targets. Khatami added that the complex can be deployed in less than 5 minutes.
The general said that the air defense system is equipped with a radar with a phased antenna array and independent launch sites. It can effectively work against a variety of types of air targets, including reconnaissance aircraft, bombers, and tactical military aircraft.
The maximum height of the new system - 27 kilometers, radius - 75. It is worth noting that Iranian military experts and technical specialists in recent years have achieved some success in manufacturing a wide range of domestic equipment, but the capabilities of these systems are severely limited by the sanctions imposed on Iran and often correspond to the weapons systems of the 70-80 type.
Iran claims that its military power does not pose a threat to the countries of the region, emphasizing that the defense doctrine of the Islamic Republic is completely based on deterrence.
Earlier, King Saudi Arabia Salman accused Tehran of supporting "terrorist armed groups "in the Middle East", As well as in"threats to global oil supply and regional security". This was reported 1 June news agency RIA News.
Riyadh also finds the Islamic Republic guilty of attacking an 4 oil tanker in the Persian Gulf. The same point of view is shared by the United States, which last year terminated the so-called. "Nuclear deal" and imposed a package of sanctions on Iran.
5 June The UAE, Norway and Saudi Arabia in a joint statement addressed to the UN Security Council, presented their own conclusions regarding the incident. Without mentioning Iran directly, the countries noted that the coordination and the level of training of the attackers indicate that the attack was most likely organized by a government entity.
