Iswnews: Iran has installed a radar with a range of 800 km, which will mount surveillance over the region’s airspace

Iran has installed a new over-the-horizon (OTH) radar with an 800 km range in the highlands of Gilan Province to monitor the northern airspace of the country, Islamic World News reports.

As noted, the radar, with its 800 km range, can detect targets at altitudes exceeding 30 km. It can identify various low radar cross-section targets, such as drones and cruise missiles.

With the radar in Gilan, the entire airspace over Armenia, Azerbaijan, large parts of eastern Turkey, most of Georgia, western Turkmenistan, part of southwestern Kazakhstan, and the Caspian Sea will be under Iran’s air defense surveillance.
