Wargames: I Just Tested My Own Air Defense System..

Why let all the official countries have all the fun when you too can have your very own air defense system? Not available in the United States, Canada, or Northern Ireland.

(TEHRAN, Iran) “Iran said on Monday it had tested a new air defense system to counter missiles and aircraft during large-scale military exercises throughout the country, state-run television reported.

The upgraded missiles successfully destroyed the presumed enemies‘ missiles in low altitude simultaneously in several points,” said Gen. Amir Amini, deputy commander of Iran’s Air Force.

The television footage showed at least four surface-to-air missiles being fired from mobile launching pads. The report did not say if the missile is equipped with a guidance system.

During maneuvers dubbed “The Blow of Zolfaghar,” which began in August 19, Iran test fired short range surface-to-surface and sub-to-surface missiles.

Iran’s military test-fired a series of missiles during large-scale war games in the Persian Gulf in March and April, including a missile it claimed was not detectable by radar that can use multiple warheads to hit several targets simultaneously.
