Iran has replaced parts of its air defence network damaged during last month’s conflict with Israel, according to Defah Press, quoting Mahmoud Mousavi, deputy chief of operations for Iran’s regular army.
The June confrontation saw Israel dominate Iranian airspace with precision strikes, inflicting significant damage on Iran’s defence infrastructure. Iran retaliated with waves of missile and drone attacks targeting Israeli territory. Mousavi acknowledged the losses, stating, “Some of our air defences were damaged, this is not something we can hide,” but emphasized that replacement systems had already been prepared and were deployed promptly to maintain airspace security.
He added that the restored systems were sourced from domestic stockpiles, highlighting Iran’s reliance on local production. Iran’s known air defence assets include the indigenous long-range Bavar-373 system and the Russian-made S-300 system. There was no mention of any new foreign systems being imported or deployed following the recent hostilities.
Last October, following targeted Israeli strikes on Iranian missile production sites, Iran showcased its operational readiness by displaying Russian-made defence systems during a large-scale military exercise, signaling its recovery and continued military preparedness.
This latest report underscores Iran’s strategy of self-reliance in military technology and the rapid deployment of reserve systems to counter airspace vulnerabilities. The ongoing regional tensions and exchanges of military force between Iran and Israel continue to shape the defence posture and technological development of both nations.
Iran’s swift recovery from recent air defence losses may serve as a deterrent to future aerial incursions, while also emphasizing the strategic importance of domestically produced missile defence systems in modern warfare. As tensions in the Middle East remain high, both sides appear to be preparing for further escalation.
