A new over-the-horizon (OTH) radar enables Iran to "feel the enemy's breath," said Rear Admiral Amir Rastegari, deputy commander of the Iranian Navy responsible for coordination. Electromagnetic system Nazir can simultaneously trace a number of cruise missiles and small flying targets, he said on Sunday.
Brigadier General Farzad Esmaili, air defense chief in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), said the military is also developing defense systems Talash 2 and Talash 3, while that Bavar-373, a domestic substitute for the Russian long range surface-to-air S-300, has successfully completed testing. It will become operational by March, he added.
