Iran showed the destruction of the target with the new AD-08 "Majid" air defense system

17

The Iranian anti-aircraft missile defense system continues to improve. The industry of the Islamic Republic offers the troops more and more options for anti-aircraft missile systems. Moreover, as noted in Tehran itself, sanctions play a special role here, which for a long time has been supported by the so-called collective West (and not only it). These sanctions lead to the need to deal with import substitution issues against the background of the development of their own technologies in the military sphere.

One of the novelties of the Iranian military-industrial complex is the Majid air defense system. In the nomenclature of the Iranian armed forces, the complex is designated as AD-08.

According to the latest information, these complexes are designed to cover ground targets along the inner perimeter. The fact is that the AD-08 is a short-range air defense system. The materials of the Iranian media indicated that the complex is capable of intercepting air targets at distances of up to 8 km. Target detection is carried out using a radar, which is part of the complex.

The footage presented by Iranian military correspondents shows how the Majid air defense system is used to destroy an unmanned aerial vehicle. UAV camera footage indicates that the target is hit.

It is also worth noting that the vehicle chassis for the air defense missile system with two guides (launchers) for the release of missiles is an Iranian-made vehicle platform. This is ARAS-2. Such a truck appeared on the equipment of the Iranian troops relatively recently. But in a short period of time, up to a hundred such vehicles have already been delivered to the Iranian army, including as the mentioned platforms for the AD-08. To install the air defense system, the sides of the truck are removed.

      Rather, the replacement of the British-made Rapier air defense system decommissioned in Iran.

    and in height? And judging by the width of the rocket platform, a couple of missile containers can be accommodated there ... And the electric unit, as they were not very well placed ...

      as I understand it is QW-2, which is a clone of 9K38
      on the chassis of an army off-road vehicle Aras-2 and can carry up to 4 or possibly 8 missiles

        No, this has nothing to do with the QW-2, and in general this rocket is larger and thicker than MANPADS missiles, and also with a visible thickening where the actual rocket engine is located. That is, it was clearly made specifically for the air defense system, which can be placed on a relatively light chassis, but capable of reaching those targets that the MANPADS will no longer reach.

          the range is then too small.
          On the diagram, there is almost ZUR 57E6-E
          Must be 18+ km

    I wonder why they don't cover their facilities in Syria, although there may simply be nothing, all these are Jewish fairy tales.

      As an option. Why should they cover if we are their brothers laughing

      In Syria, Iran simply does not have large bases of its own, like our Khmeimim. Iranian advisers and the Syrian, Iraqi and Hazara troops they control are scattered across many Syrian bases and strongholds. Accordingly, those that are larger and so are covered with "Buks" and "Shells" of the Syrian air defense, and in order to cover everything, you need to rebuild all the Syrian air defenses, but there is no money for that.

    But Iran prefers to use our "Tor" to protect important facilities.

    21.06.2019/4/XNUMX Iranian air defense shot down an American UAV RQ-XNUMX
    On 13.10.2020, Iran's air defense shot down the Israeli IAI "Hrop" UAV in Nagorno-Karabakh, which flew into the Iranian air zone and was immediately shot down.
    Who else can boast of such a thing ?!
    Moreover, Iran shot down the second US UAV.
