    and what?

    They could be supplying iranians with weapons, no one will know it. This Tor could be even russian produced on iranian truck.

    Iranian engineers have proven themselves to be very capable and it just makes sense if you want TOR but don't want to use it to protect armoured forces based on tanks and BMPs and BTRs cross country, then making a wheeled version makes it cheaper and faster moving and easier to operate and capable of getting to positions faster and moving away faster too.

    What I would really love to see is an articulated truck with another trailer on the back that is all missile tubes... fixed. The size of a trailer you could get enormous numbers of missiles on the vehicle... at the moment they can fit 16 ready to fire missiles inside the turret ring, so the number they could fit in a full length trailer would be enormous... with them all ready to fire and using the turret located search and tracking radar, four of these vehicles could hold off an entire air force...

    How high should the production rate be?
    How expensive such a vehicle?
    Will Iran be able to produce all components including rockets?

    If they are making them for themselves a truck is easier and cheaper to produce that what is essentially a light tank vehicle, and cheaper and easier to operate... for instance a tank after 10,000km road travel would probably need about two services and an overhaul, but a truck could probably do four or five times that distance before needing work at the very least.

    The radar and electronics are very modern and very capable and not cheap or simple... but make it a very effective and capable system... that will be the production problem, but licence production should solve those problems and keep the quality high.

    The missiles are relatively cheap and simple with command guidance and no expensive radar or IR seeker in each missile so you can make the missiles in enormous numbers.

    It is expensive and complex where it needs to be to make it very effective... this system can shoot down Hellfire missiles and HARM missiles and Iron bombs and guided bombs and drones and artillery shells and artillery rockets.

    In this case the chassis is cheap and mobile, but the original was intended to operate with armour so tracks were needed and useful and worth the extra cost.

    It was expensive where it needed to be and cheap everywhere else so it could be used.

    This is not a system like Javelin where the missiles are more expensive than a house so it might appear on paper as being effective, but you wont have too many missiles so you better make them count.

    This system is not cheap but very effective and it is cheap to actually use... so there is no fear in using it on cheap drones... though an even smaller and lighter missile is being developed for use against very light targets that don't need heavy HE warheads to destroy.

    India has all sorts of joint ventures, but in my opinion making your own tanks and fighter aircraft is inefficient.... when you only make 3-400 planes or 1,000 odd tanks it is hardly worth setting up production... and what else can you make there?

    Making your own low level SAMs makes sense because you want them to be made in enormous volumes... both the systems and the missiles themselves because anti aircraft missiles are like anti tank missiles... even very ordinary models become effective when used in enormous numbers and India is currently producing Igla-S, which I seem to remember Iran is making as well. If they both added TOR on trucks... local made trucks... then that would be of enormous benefit because such missiles are excellent for defending all sorts of targets.

    Having only big heavy long range missiles makes you vulnerable because they are expensive because of their size so there is a limit to how many you can buy, but smaller missiles distributed all over the battlefield can be even more devastating because the service ceiling is about 15km and they can operate in optical mode when being sneaky and can receive target information from other vehicles so the vehicle that launches a missile at you might be 2km behind you as you line up a TOR vehicle with its radar going 20km in front of you so you think you are safe and you get a surprise delivery...

    So, the order came in 'Build us a simple mobile radar system' so they did. Couldn't get much more mobile than this solution. Brilliant.

    Iran unveils new home-made defense systems

    Iran Air Defense Systems - Page 14 170938568
    Tehran, IRNA – Iran has unveiled a new anti-ballistic missile system and a new low-altitude air defense system, which have been developed by experts of the Iranian Defense Ministry.

    The new systems were unveiled on Saturday in the presence of Defense Minister Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Gharaei Ashtiani.

    The new anti-ballistic missile system is named “Arman” which means aspiration in English. The low-altitude air defense system is named “Azarakhsh” which means lightning.

    Iran Air Defense Systems - Page 14 170938563

    The newly unveiled systems will significantly boost Iran’s air defense capabilities once they are added to the country’s military fleet.

    Arman has been developed in two versions, one with a passive radar, the other with an active radar.

    The missiles used in the Arman system belong to the domestically-made Sayyad 3 class, which can simultaneously confront six targets at a distance ranging from 120km to 180km.

    Azarakhsh can simultaneously use radar and electrooptic systems to detect and intercept targets. In addition, the missiles used in the Azarakhsh system are heat-seekers, meaning that they use infrared seeking systems.

    Cool

    If Iranian AD can track and intercept Karrar jet drone , then so can an F35 . Karrar was supposed to be able to launch short range AA missiles . So either this version was just a target drone , or all Karrar are just target drones or missile sponges to absorb F35 missiles , denuding ( I like this word denuding ) the enemy jet of missiles , before it is violated ( I like this word violated )  in a vulnerable  position by other fighter jets ? A low RCS version of karrar is needed perhaps , for low speed agility manoeuvre in air to air engagements against manned jets .








    F35 will be violated !

    🇮🇷/🇨🇳 NEW: Today at Tehran's Friday prayer service, for the first time, an anti-air laser weapon was seen deployed on the premises

    It seems to be the 'Silent Hunter', a Chinese-made anti-drone laser weapon, tasked with searching, tracking and destroying low-flying drones and unprotected aircraft.

    The Silent Hunter uses an electrically powered fiber optic laser and has a maximum power between 30 and 100 kilowatts with a maximum range of 4km. It penentrates 5mm of steel.

    🔴 Brigadier General Agha Mohammadi, Deputy of Self-Sufficiency Jihad in the Air Defense Force, Officially Announced:

    The Islamic Republic of Iran was able to address concerns regarding the detection of F-35 stealth fighters ten years ago.

    🔸 This important news, which has been officially declassified after ten years and was released several years ago, is sure to cause concern among the Zionists and their American masters, who have focused heavily on the stealth capabilities of these fighters.

    🔸 Agha Mohammadi stated: "We are moving toward addressing the needs of emerging warfare; we monitor the enemy beyond their expectations."

    🔸 He emphasized: "Currently, our concern is not about detecting the F-35; that issue was resolved ten years ago. With the systems we have unveiled, we are now engaged in countering drones."

    🔸 "There is currently no aircraft that we cannot detect."

    Can't comment on the veracity of that but this announcement is obviously intended to deter israel from launching a major attack involving F-35s and other advanced jets as they may be detected and downed.

    This isn't a recent thing. Iran some time back announced they had received Rezonans-NE radar from Russia. So yes they can't detect such. And have a good enough AD systems to take it down

    For info

    The Rezonans-NE is a very high frequency (VHF) radar system designed to provide early warning against stealth aircraft and stealth cruise missiles as well as tracking and classification. Besides, the Rezonans-NE is capable of detecting and tracking ballistic missiles and hypersonic aerial vehicles in heavy electronic countermeasures (ECM) and clutter environment as well as a wide range of current and planned low observable air threats. The VHF radar is also capable of providing tracking of this array of targets at long ranges to designate them to a command and control (C2) center or a weapon system such as an air defense system. The Rezonans-NE system consists of up to four container housed antenna modules covering 90-degree in azimuth and operating independently. Operating all together the four radar antenna modules cover 360-degree occupying a 100x100 meters area. The Rezonans-NE radar system can detect air target at ranges between 10 and 1,100 kilometers and flying at an altitude of up to 100 kilometers while tracking up to 500 targets. A fighter-sized target can be detected at a distance of 350 kilometers.

    Iran ideally needs to know , when missiles or aircraft , as well as tankers , are getting ready to attack Iran , well before they become airborne . If airborne , then there is a chance , they will get through . All they need is one or two hits with nuke tipped bunker buster . Even if not successful , the radiation will close the facility . The Zionists will throw Israel under the Iran retaliation bus . Since the yank will pay handsomely . Satellite are needed . B61 .
