How will the exchange of blows between Iran and Israel go with the participation of London and The Pentagon?

Against the background of preparations for a massive strike on strategically important IDF facilities, in response to a Spike-NLOS missile strike on Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh at his residence in Tehran, Iran's air defense forces are urgently deploying long-, medium- and short-range air defense systems in all missile-hazardous areas.

Batteries and regiments of the Bavar-373, S-400, S-300PMU-2 Favorit, Tor-M1, and Khordad-15 air defense systems have already been relocated to the western borders of Iran. The latter has the widest range of interceptor missiles providing echeloned missile defense of air defense zones restricting and prohibiting access and A2/AD maneuver around strategically important military-industrial and administrative facilities of the country.

A unique technical advantage of the Khordad-15 anti-aircraft missile systems in world practice is the integration of an impressive list of medium- and long-range anti-aircraft guided missiles, the list of which:

— Taer-2: with a range of up to 50 km and a high-altitude interception boundary of 27 km;
- Taer-2A: with a range of up to 75 km and a high-altitude interception limit of 27 km;
- Taer-2B: with a range of up to 105 km and a ceiling of up to 27 km;
— Sayyad-2: with a range of up to 75 km and a maximum interception altitude of up to 27 km;
— Sayyad-2C: with a range of up to 120 km and a flight ceiling of 27 km;
— Sayyad-3: with a range of up to 150 km and an interception height of 30 km;
- 9 Dey missile: with a range of 5 to 30 km and a flight ceiling of 20 km;
— Taer-3 (Sevom Khordad): with a range of up to 200 km and a flight ceiling of 30 km.

It is noteworthy that, similar to the domestic 9A317M self-propelled firing units of the Buk-M3 complexes, the self-propelled firing units of the Iranian Sevom Khordad complexes have individual Ra'ad-2 continuous radiation illumination radars capable of capturing up to two air targets for accurate auto-tracking, with the possibility of tracking up to four enemy targets on the passage. Nevertheless, the possibility of using autonomous antenna posts with illumination and guidance radars of the centimeter wave range remains.

At the same time, the target channel (the number of simultaneously fired targets) for individual illumination radars is much higher and can reach 4-6 simultaneously fired objects. The energy capabilities of such radars are also higher and provide detection of targets with a reflective surface of 0.1 square meters. m at a distance of up to 120 km.

As for the Ra'ad radars deployed on 6 Sevom Khordad firing units, they allow only one battery to intercept up to 12 enemy air and space attack vehicles. Of course, this is not 36 targets (like the battery of our Buk-M3), but as many as the S-350A Vityaz complex.

Radar detectors of the decimeter S-band "Bashir" are capable of giving target designation to the combat control points of the Sevom Khordad air defense system to detect targets with a reflective surface of 3 square meters. m at a distance of about 300 km, with an EOP of 0.02 square meters. m at a distance of 80 km. These air defense systems can effectively counteract both high-speed ballistic and low-altitude RAMS with an ultra-small effective reflective surface.

To intercept low-altitude American AGM-158B anti-ship missiles and, probably, Israeli Delilah-HL, launchers with multi-channel illumination radars, or single illumination radars (which can also be integrated into the architecture of the Sevom Khordad air defense system) should be deployed on the mountain ranges of the Zagros mountain system.

To prepare for repelling a large-scale missile strike by the IRGC on the facilities of the Israel Defense Forces, the entire infrastructure of the Royal British Air Force Akrotiri airbase, as well as tactically important British military facilities, has been put on high alert. Sun in Dhekelia.

This fact is confirmed by the noticeably increased activity of multifunctional fighters of the "4+" Typhoon FGR.4 generation, KC3 Voyager strategic air tankers, A400M military transport aircraft, etc. Also noteworthy is the fact that the British Typhoons were recorded directly in Israeli airspace in the late evening of July 30, when the assassination of Haniyeh and the consequences of the subsequent retaliatory missile strike by the IRGC were only considered by the Israeli military cabinet.

It is likely that London was already aware of upcoming events, and the Typhoons were practicing their upcoming participation in the operation to intercept Soumar strategic cruise missiles, as well as the Shahed-136 kamikaze UAV, while the task of intercepting tens of hundreds of Ghadr, Khorramshahr, Safir and Shahab-3 MRBMS on descending branches The trajectories will be assigned to the Arrow-2/3, Patriot PAC-3MSE, Iron Dome, and Barak-8ER anti-missile systems.

In the detection of Iranian ballistic missiles on the ascending and descending branches of trajectories, as well as in the apogee The US Armed Forces plan to use multifunctional X-band radar based on AFAR (24,000 receiving and transmitting modules) AN/TPY-2 deployed in Israel and Turkey, which are also planned to be used for targeting with THAAD and SM-3 Block IA anti-missiles with Kill Vehicle and Mk 142 kinetic interceptors, respectively.
