Iran’s First Advanced Air Defense System Becomes Operational

Iran’s first advanced anti-aircraft system has become operational, Iranian Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi announced earlier this week.

The Mersad air defense system is capable of hitting modern aircraft flying at low and medium altitudes, Vahidi told reporters.

The Mersad system will use Iran’s domestically manufactured Shahin missiles, which Vahidi said are even more advanced than the 1970s-era U.S.-manufactured Hawk missiles.

The Hawk missile has a range of 15 miles with a 119-pound warhead.
