Iran Rebuilds Air Defense Systems After Clash with Israel
Iranian Regular Army's Deputy for Operations, Mahmoud Mousavi, announced that Iran has rebuilt its air defenses damaged in last month's clashes with Israel, according to Reuters.
'Some of our air defenses were damaged, this is not something we can hide, 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,' Mousavi said.
In June, Israel's air force overwhelmed Iran's air defenses and asserted control over its airspace.
In a response, Iran launched numerous waves of missile and drone attacks targeting Israeli territory.
Before the conflict that broke out on June 13, Iran had its own domestically-made long-range air defense system Bavar-373 along with the Russian-made S-300 system.
There are no official reports of importing any foreign-made air defense systems to Iran in past weeks.
On June 13, Israel launched a wave of airstrikes on Iran under the name of Operation Rising Lion. The military campaign targeted Iran's nuclear facilities and killed top military commanders and nuclear scientists in an attempt to eliminate Iran's nuclear program.
