Majid (Air Defense System)
The Majid Air Defense Weapon System, also known as AD-08, is produced by the Defense Industries Organization of the Ministry of Defense and Support of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which is actually a short-range, short-altitude surface-to-air weapon system. The Majid system made its initial appearance during a parade on April 18, 2021, and was subsequently utilized in the military exercises known as 'Defenders of the Sky of Velayat 1400' in the same year. Naming Majid is a name derived from Majid Ghorbankhani as a Holy Shrine Defender. Features This system is capable of operating in all weather conditions and can simultaneously target and launch missiles against four different threats such as drones, cruise missiles, helicopters and other low-maneuvering targets. The Majid weapon system consists of four main components: an electro-optical system for target identification and tracking, a fire control command system, a launcher with four missile compartment ...

Surface-to-air Missile
A surface-to-air missile (SAM), also known as a ground-to-air missile (GTAM) or surface-to-air guided weapon (SAGW), is a missile designed to be launched from the ground or the sea to destroy aircraft or other missiles. It is one type of anti-aircraft warfare, anti-aircraft system; in modern armed forces, missiles have replaced most other forms of dedicated anti-aircraft weapons, with anti-aircraft guns pushed into specialized roles. The first attempt at SAM development took place during World War II, but no operational systems were introduced. Further development in the 1940s and 1950s led to operational systems being introduced by most major forces during the second half of the 1950s. Smaller systems, suitable for close-range work, evolved through the 1960s and 1970s, to modern systems that are man-portable. Shipborne systems followed the evolution of land-based models, starting with long-range weapons and steadily evolving toward smaller designs to provide a layered defence. T ...

Islamic Republic Of Iran Air Defense Force
The Islamic Republic of Iran Air Defense Force () is the anti-aircraft warfare branch of Iran's regular military, the Islamic Republic of Iran Army (Artesh). It split from the air force (IRIAF) in 2008 and controls the country's military radar network. History In the late 1950s the (then) Imperial (Shah) Iranian Air Force was an important US allied force and a buffer to counter any possible Soviet attack in the unstable middle east region. Radar coverage of the Iranian airspace however was very poor in those days because of a lack of standardization, various former WW2 British and US radar equipment had been used, and because of the rough countryside. US research learned that automation of the Iranian air defense conceptually consisted of: 2 hardened command posts (a primary one and its backup) buried in the northern and southern Iran mountains, and a radar network spread out over the country. Raw radar data from nationwide sites would have to be digitally converted and transfer ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Holy Shrine Defender
Holy Shrine Defenders (Persian language, Persian: مدافعان حرم; ''Modāfe'ān-e-Haram'') is a phrase used by the Iranian government to refer to their advisers and military personnel (including foreign fighters) fighting in Iraq and Syria in defense and protection of Shia peoples and holy shrines often targeted by Sunni fighters. The most prominent shrine associated with the mission of the "holy shrine defenders," and to which their presence in Syria is ostensibly dedicated, is the Sayyidah Zaynab Mosque in Damascus. Background The term "holy shrine defender" refers to advisers and military personnel who fight on behalf of Iran to defend and protect Shia sites and peoples in Iraq and Syria from groups such as Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, ISIS, and in support of the government of Bashar al-Assad in Syria. The term not only includes Iranians, but also Afghan and Pakistani fighters, such as those who fight with Liwa Fatemiyoun or Liwa Zainebiyoun. According to Spea ...

List Of Military Equipment Manufactured In Iran
A list is a set of discrete items of information collected and set forth in some format for utility, entertainment, or other purposes. A list may be memorialized in any number of ways, including existing only in the mind of the list-maker, but lists are frequently written down on paper, or maintained electronically. Lists are "most frequently a tool", and "one does not ''read'' but only ''uses'' a list: one looks up the relevant information in it, but usually does not need to deal with it as a whole". Lucie Doležalová,The Potential and Limitations of Studying Lists, in Lucie Doležalová, ed., ''The Charm of a List: From the Sumerians to Computerised Data Processing'' (2009). Purpose It has been observed that, with a few exceptions, "the scholarship on lists remains fragmented". David Wallechinsky, a co-author of '' The Book of Lists'', described the attraction of lists as being "because we live in an era of overstimulation, especially in terms of information, and lists help ...

Tabas (air Defense System)
The Tabas () missile system is an Iranian medium range road-mobile aerial defense system that was first revealed on 11 May 2014. It is believed to be another version of the Ra'ad air defense system along with Sevom Khordad. The name of the air defense system refers to Operation Eagle Claw which took place at Tabas and hence the name of the missile system. Characteristics The missile system resembles the Soviet Buk-M1 missile system due to its lets sophisticated radar system. The speed of its TELAR is estimated to be 65 km/h; each vehicle can carry 3 missiles. It is also likely that the system can intercept ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, anti-radiation missiles, smart bombs and UAVs. Each Tabas battery consists of one TELAR and two TELs hence each battery carries 9 missiles. Each battalion consists of four batteries and hence can engage multiple targets simultaneously. Each battalion is also equipped with a Bashir S-band 3-D Phased array radar Radar is a sy ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Arman (missile System)
The Arman (full name: Arman long-range anti-ballistic missile system) is an anti-ballistic defense system built by the Iranian Ministry of Defense and the support of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Features The features of this system include: *The ability to detect targets within 180 kilometers *The ability to track targets up to a distance of 160 km *The time it takes for this system to be ready for battle is less than 3 minutes *A Maximum target detection of up to 24 targets *The ability to cover 360 degrees and engage simultaneously with 6 different targets *The Arman system has the potential to engage directly with various types of cruise missiles, and drones, as well as the ability to engage with short-range ballistic missiles. There are two versions of the Iranian defense system, each equipped with different radars. One version utilizes a passive radar carrier, while the other model features an active radar. The Arman system employs Sayad-3F missile ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
