 "Iran replaces air defences damaged during June conflict with Israel")
Iran has replaced air defence systems damaged during last month’s conflict with Israel, the country’s Defah Press news agency reported on Sunday, citing senior military official Mahmoud Mousavi.
Mousavi, the deputy for operations in Iran’s regular army, confirmed that parts of the air defence network were hit during the June clashes, when Israeli air forces gained control of Iranian airspace and inflicted significant damage.
“Some of our air defences were damaged, this is not something we can hide,” Mousavi said. “But our colleagues have used domestic resources and replaced them with pre-arranged systems that were stored in suitable locations in order to keep the airspace secure.”
Before the conflict, Iran operated its own Bavar-373 long-range air defence system along with Russian-made S-300 batteries. The report made no mention of any new imports of foreign air defence systems since the recent hostilities.
Following limited Israeli strikes on Iranian missile production sites last October, Iran had showcased Russian air defence systems in a military drill to demonstrate its recovery.
