(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Commander of Khatam ol-Anbia Air Defense Base Brigadier General Farzad Esmayeeli warned enemies not to even think of making the slightest aggression against Iran, stressing that the Armed Forces will turn the country into a hell for aggressors.
"Undoubtedly, if the enemies grow stupid and think of aggression against the sacred borders of our country, a hell will rise for them on the ground and in the sky and the sea in the Islamic Iran," General Esmayeeli said on Wednesday.
Stressing that the skilled Iranian Air Defense Forces are using home-made state-of-the-art weapons and equipment to defend the country, he said that they have discouraged the enemies from launching a military attack against Iran by enhancing their preparedness and diversifying their options to stand against different types of threats.
General Esmayeeli made the remarks two days after the country's Armed Forces put into operation the home-made 'Nazir' radar system with the capability of detecting radar-evading targets and fighting against electronic warfare.
"Nazir radar system was put into operation and from now on, no radar-evading flying object can enter the Islamic Iran's skies without permission," General Esmayeeli said on Monday.
"The radar is special to detecting the small flying objects and MQ1, RQ4 and U2 aircrafts and can easily detect and trace ballistic and cruise missiles and most importantly, the radar-evading aircraft," he added.
Nazir is a long-range and high-precision radar system which is highly capable of detecting targets in low radar cross section and is resistant to radar evading and anti-radar missiles.
Also on Monday, General Esmayeeli said that Iran will put into operation its home-made version of the sophisticated Russian S-300 missile defense system, dubbed as Bavar (Belief) 373, in the near future, adding that the two systems play complementary roles for each other.
"The radar and missile defense system, Bavar-373, is a powerful and fully indigenous supplement for the S-300 defense system which will be put into operation soon," he said.
"The S-300 and Bavar-373 systems will be highly lethal for the enemy," the Iranian commander added.
Noting that Iran is also building two other defense systems named Talash 2 and Talash 3, Esmayeeli said that the country no more needs the Russian-made S-400 missile shield.
