Iran Unveils Radars that Can Detect Stealth Targets

Local Editor

Iran had unveiled two domestically-manufactured state-of-the-art radar systems capable of detecting stealth targets on high altitudes.

The radar systems, dubbed Nazir and Bina, were unveiled on Tuesday in a ceremony attended by Commander of Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Air Defense Base Brigadier General Farzad Esmaili.

Nazir is a long-range radar system that can detect and track hostile aerial targets within a radius of 800 kilometers at an estimated altitude of 100,000 feet, while Bina uses three-dimensional [3-D] technology to detect radar-evading targets. It can also be used to deter electronic warfare.

Furthermore, the two radar systems had been deployed in mountainous and plain areas in the southeastern parts of Iran.

Speaking on the sidelines of the unveiling ceremony, Esmaili said the systems are "unique" in the region and the world.

The Iranian commander said the advanced radar systems are "multi-board" and can detect wide-body military aircraft, stealth targets and small flying objects on high altitudes.

In recent years, Iran made great achievements in its defense sector and reached self-sufficiency in producing essential military equipment and systems.

The Islamic Republic of Iran had repeatedly assured other nations, especially regional neighbors, that its military might poses no threat to other countries, stating that its defense doctrine is merely based on deterrence.
