Iran has replaced air defence systems damaged during last month’s conflict with Israel, according to a report by Iran’s Defah Press news agency on Sunday, citing Mahmoud Mousavi, Deputy for Operations of the regular army.
During the June conflict, Israeli air forces gained control over Iran’s airspace and significantly weakened the country’s air defences, while Iran responded with a series of missile and drone attacks targeting Israeli territory.
"Some of our air defence units sustained damage — this is a fact we cannot deny. However, our forces have utilised domestic resources to replace them with pre-positioned systems stored in secure locations, ensuring the continued protection of our airspace," Mousavi stated.
Before the conflict, Iran operated its domestically developed long-range Bavar-373 air defence system alongside the Russian-made S-300. The Defah Press report made no reference to any recent imports of foreign air defence systems.
Following limited Israeli strikes on Iranian missile production sites last October, Iran showcased its Russian-made air defence assets during a military drill to demonstrate its restored operational capabilities.
