Iran showcased a missile in a public gathering during the yearly Quds Day, or Jerusalem Day observance, on the concluding Friday of Ramadan’s holy month in Tehran, Iran. Israel’s air force displayed its superiority by controlling Iran’s airspace and inflicted substantial losses to the latter’s air defense. Meanwhile, Iran’s military retorted by launching back-to-back volleys of missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles into Israeli territory.
During the skirmishes that unfolded in June between the two nations, Iran suffered significant damage to its air defenses at the hands of Israel’s dominating air forces, while the Iranian military retaliated with continuous launches of missiles and drones into Israeli land.
As Iran’s official press agency reported on a Sunday: a quote from the deputy for operations of Iran’s regular army revealed that Iran has managed to restore its air defenses that were struck in the previous month’s conflict with Israel.
The deputy for operations from the regular army candidly accepted damage to some of their air defenses, while also stating that his colleagues utilized domestic resources and replaced them with pre-specified systems which were kept at suitable locations to ensure continued security of the airspace.
In the period leading up to the war, Iran boasted its native long-range air defense system, the Bavar-373, complemented by the Russian-built S-300 system.
Israel’s air force demonstrated its prowess over Iran’s airspace, causing severe damage to the nation’s air defenses. At the same time, the Iranian military retaliated with continuous launches of missiles and drones into Israeli land.
In a noteworthy disclosure, Iran’s news agency report did not mention the import of any foreign-made air defense systems to the country in the recent weeks.
Disturbingly, in the wake of minor Israeli air raids targeting Iranian missile production facilities in the previous October, Iran subsequently displayed Russian-manufactured air defenses during a military drill as a demonstration of its recovery from the aforementioned assault.
