Iran Army unveils ‘daunting’ laser-powered air defense system guarding nuclear sites
The Army identified the system as only one of the layers providing the site with air defense services.
Observers have described the apparatus as “daunting,” pointing to Western states’ expressing surprise concerning the phenomenon.
The exercises, during which the Air Defense Forces conducted various reconnaissance, interception, confrontation, and destruction operations against mock enemy forces, featured deployment of various other defense systems too.
The forces carried out airstrikes using missiles as a means of defending the strategic and sensitive areas under their jurisdiction.
The drills, being monitored and directed by the Islamic Republic’s Integrated Air Defense Network, fended off the mock enemy forces’ offensive operations in Fordow and the nearby Khondab District.
The drills, which had sought to assess the actual effectiveness of the country’s air defense strategies against potential hostile invasions, wound down on Sunday after achieving their predetermined objectives.
