Why It Matters: The drill showcases Iran’s advancing air defense capabilities, particularly in radar-evading detection and missile accuracy, amid growing regional security concerns.
The Big Picture: Iran continues to refine its air defense systems, integrating radar-evading capabilities to strengthen its deterrence posture against potential aerial threats.
Key Points:
- During the exercise, simulated enemy aircraft launched an attack on the designated area.
- Iranian radar systems detected and identified the targets, passing the information to the Joshan system.
- The system launched a missile, successfully striking and eliminating the hostile target.
Tech Spotlight:
Joshan operates with a passive radar system, detecting threats without emitting signals that could reveal its location.
Passive radar enhances mobility and reduces vulnerability to enemy countermeasures.
