Commander: Iran Radars Track Moves beyond Borders
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A top Iranian air defense commander said the country is in possession of advanced radars that can detect the hostile moves even outside the borders.
“Thanks to the indigenous radars… we can well monitor the enemy’s entire moves outside the borders, and show the necessary response if needed,” Lieutenant Commander of Khatam al-Anbia Air Defense Base General Ali Reza Sabahi-Fard said on Tuesday.
He made the comments during a visit to the air defense units that are geared up to hold a massive wargame in conjunction with the other military forces beginning December 25.
In recent years, Iran has made great achievements in its defense sector and has attained self-sufficiency in producing essential military equipment and systems. As part of these accomplishments, Iran’s aerial defense has been able to build a big part of its equipment and arsenal by its own experts.
Earlier on April 15, Commander of Khatam al-Anbia Air Defense Base Brigadier General Farzad Esmaili praised the outstanding features of Iran’s new home-made radar system, dubbed “Raasad-32”, describing it as a great achievement in the area of detection and identification of different types of aircraft.
As regards the important features of the domestically-made radar system, Esmaili explained that the Raasad-32 can detect the flying targets’ direction, altitude and velocity.
The system is capable of transmitting the collected data to the Control Center from a range of more than 15 kilometers.
