There may be 20 countries in the world capable of manufacturing radars, and Iran is certainly one of the top ten, Hajizadeh said in a ceremony held Tuesday to integrate two sets of Qadir long-range radar system into the Iranian air defense network.

The commander said the new radars, manufactured by the IRGC Aerospace Force, are capable of detecting stealth aircraft within a range of 350 kilometers and all other targets within a distance of above 1,000 km.

The two radars came into operation in the central and southern provinces of Yazd and Kerman.

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.
