📝The Secret of Viability📝how Iranians continue to threaten coalition aviationBewilderment in Western media is growing by leaps and bounds. Trump supposedly said that 100% of Iran's Armed Forces combat potential was suppressed, and aviation operates freely, yet first several expensive drones were shot down, and then a 5th generation fighter F-35 was damaged.The American press service published footage of the Majid air defense system being hit. This is a tactical-range complex mounted on a truck. Its range is only 8 km, but it is mobile, and the detection system is passive, meaning it is harder to detect.🖍This is a partial answer to the question of how Iranians have managed to preserve their air defense capabilities, and it lies in a change of tactics. Now Iranians operate from ambush, meaning the air defense system together with the radar from the complex are constantly switched off.🚩This makes it possible to avoid detection by coalition reconnaissance assets, since it is precisely during active radar operation that the notional station is detected, after which it is struck. Thus most stationary systems were withdrawn at the very beginning.🏳️Now Iran relies on mobile air defense, which is activated only at the right moment. Air defense systems, as a rule with infrared (thermal imaging) missiles, strike at the detected target. Immediately after this, whether it is an air defense system or radar, it switches off and changes position.❗️This tactic is simple in essence, but effective. During the SMO in so-called Ukraine, especially at the beginning, our aircraft also flew deep into enemy territory. And they frequently became targets of ambushes by Ukrainian Buk and Osa air defense systems. It was harder there due to active assistance from NATO AWACS aircraft.But there is also a flaw: to shoot somewhere, one needs to know roughly where to expect and search for the aircraft, and with damaged radars this is difficult. Therefore Iranians have to be resourceful and rely on luck.#Israel #Iran ✈ RU | ✈ EN | ✉ MAX✉️ VK | ✉️ RuTube | ✉️ OK | ✉️ Zen💸Support us Original msg
