PanARMENIAN.Net – Iran will start using a new home-made powerful radar
system in coming days, a senior Iranian commander announced on Monday,
April 9.

“Samen Radar System will come online in the next ten days,” Commander
of Khatam ol-Anbia Air Defense Base, Brigadier General Farzad Esmayeeli
told Fars News Agency.

“We are now deploying it,” the commander said, adding that Samen’s
range is “good” and is able to detect and identify targets with very
low Radar Cross Section (RCS).

Esmayeeli stated that the radar will be stationed in the most
far-fetched and remote areas first and will later be deployed
throughout the country.

In February, the Iranian Armed Forces launched new radar and missile
systems with various ranges all throughout Iran.

Tens of radar and missile systems with various ranges were manufactured
and deployed in Iran’s defense sector and new systems were to join
the defense network during the 10-Day Dawn celebrations, marking the
anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran.
