In a notable development, Iran announced that the air defense systems damaged during last month’s Israeli attacks have now been replaced. The damage occurred during an unprecedented surprise bombing campaign in mid-June, which also prompted Iran to launch drone and missile counterattacks.
According to state media and army operations chief Mahmoud Mousavi, "The Zionist enemy sought to destroy Iran’s defense capabilities, and some of our defense systems were damaged in that war. The damaged defense systems have now been replaced."
Iran’s robust air defense network includes domestically built systems like the Bavar-373 and Khordad-15, as well as Russia's S-300 systems installed in 2016. This upgrade underscores Iran’s commitment to maintaining strong defense capabilities even amid escalating tensions. 🚀
