Iran unveils new air defense system capable of intercepting 6 targets at once. Really.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The Iranian Defence Ministry has presented its new domestically-designed air defence system Khordad 15 capable of shooting down six targets at the same time, the Tasnim news agency reported, citing Iranian Defense Minister Brig. Gen. Amir Hatami.

The new air defence system, equipped with phased array radar and independent launch pads, can detect both warplanes and intruding drones within a range of 150 kilometres (93 miles) and track them at a range of 120 kilometres, according to the Tasnim news agency.

#3 Six targets that are at the same range, same bearing, and stationary.

Yeah, that. File under "Rolling back the defense"

They can probably track 6 targets at once. Shooting them down is a bit more complicated and then there is that "reloading" thing. A bit slow & labor-intensive according to the video we saw the other day.

#5 Entertaining how the missile containers are made to look like Patriot containers. It's a step up from welded oil barrels "S-300 SAM".

#6 Go ahead, turn on your search and targeting radar and see what happens.

#7 Iran: "Always after me charms...
With science and lasers and HARMs.
No radar! I'd rather
Rely on me nazar
And pointy-toed slippers than arms."
