Ambiguous topics presented in Sardar Hajizadeh’s press conference
The first case is that they said that the cruise attack warning was given in the entire Khatam al-Anbiya integrated air defense network shared by the army and the IRGC (while according to the statistics that are being heard in the army, there was no such news in the integrated network). And this operator of the tor m1 system suddenly saw the target in his 6 km near Tehran and thought it was a cruise missile.
American cruises are in the ships of this country in the south of Iran. If we assume the truth of Sardar’s words, then these cruises have passed through Kerman, Hormozgan, Fars, Isfahan, Yazd, Kashan, and Qom and reached Tehran! This means that none of the early warning radars and the phased array of the army defense and the IRGC defense were able to detect a few cruise planes that are bigger than the captured drones on this route of about 1300 km from Amman to Tehran, or with our medium-range defenses that They have anti-cruise capability to target them! This means indirectly, they say, in practice, the power of our radars is at a very low level of detection and interception. Instead of fixing the situation, it got worse!
The second thing they added is that our jamming systems have been activated in Tehran and have disrupted the IRGC’s tor m1 work. Well, anyone in the world who knows the Russian killer monster called tor m1 will be shocked and know that the anti-cruise missile satellite jammer has something to do with The defense radar and telecommunication system does not have tor, and one of the world’s famous systems that is not disturbed by heavy forest is the Russian tor m1 that the IRGC has. And if we assume the truth of Sardar’s words, everyone knows that the Tor system has optical and thermal search systems in addition to its radar, even if there is no radar and telecommunication system at night and day, it still sees an image of what is being targeted!! And this Sardar’s words that we jammed ourselves and our own defense attack was disturbed, questioned the entire credibility of the IRGC’s air defense system!!
Furthermore, in the final phase of the attack, no American cruise missile will hit the target at an altitude of 6000 feet with a speed of Mach 0.4 at that moment, and the cruise will eventually reach a height of 25 meters from the ground and its speed is between Mach 0.7 and 0.9!! Also, where is the 5-meter cruise missile and the 31-meter Boeing with a 13-meter height structure? And this can easily be seen by the short-range tour defense in the optical and thermal display, even without radar
This is also true for the cruise missile with a speed of Mach 0.9 and not for the Boeing with a speed of Mach 0.4. At the moment of impact, the missile is increasing in height, which doubles the performance time. The tour warning radar has a range of 25 km and the lock radar has a range of 15 km.
If today’s press conference was limited to accepting the responsibility for this mistake and the marginal statements were not made to justify, the entire defense complex of the country would not be questioned, it would have been much heavier and more colorful. The incident of 737 happened anyway and cannot be reversed or corrected. But the words that Sardar Hajizadeh expressed had some points in them that hit the security of the country’s skies and the credibility of the country’s joint defense network more than the attack of hundreds of American cruise missiles.
