In an interview with the Persian service of IRNA published on Sunday,
Brigadier General Farzad Esmaeili said that the new generation of VHF
and HF radar systems, which have been designed and manufactured by
Iranian experts, are being used at air defense bases across the
country.
He also said that Samen, Shahab, and Matla-ol-fajr radar systems are
“completely indigenous” systems which are able to quickly identify and
track small flying targets.
He added that the country’s air defense units are now able to track
aircraft using various radar systems which can operate at various
frequency ranges.
“If we had not acquired this expertise, we would have been doomed to
defeat at the time of electronic warfare and would have not been able to
identify many enemy aircraft,” he said.
He went on to say that air defense units create layers of defense to
protect the country’s sensitive facilities using radar systems and
missile systems.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Esmaeili said that the projects to design and
manufacture various medium-range and long-range air defense systems are
well underway.
He also said that shoulder-fired missiles and low-altitude artillery
systems, which can be used by air defense units, are being mass-produced
in the country.
