The two homegrown radars were connected to the countrywide air defense network in a ceremony attended by senior military commanders.
The IRGC Aerospace Force has so far manufactured and installed eight Qadir radars across Iran.
Qadir is a phased-array radar system that identifies aerial targets on the basis of 3-dimensional detection with multiple detectors. The system enjoys nonstop monitoring activity.
Run by three operators, the system uses low signals, and is a suitable option for electronic warfare.
With an approximate range of 1,100 kilometers, the homegrown radar system can even detect targets with small cross-section areas. It can spot various stealth aircraft.
Iran has in recent years made great headways in manufacturing a broad range of military equipment, including air defense systems that use cutting edge technologies.
