Iran has 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.
.
The two radar systems have 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.
