Tor-M1 per Teheran
13/2/2007La capacità di difesa iraniana è aumentata recentemente in seguito alla fornitura di sistemi Tor-M1 da parte russa.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched a two-day air-defence exercise on 7 February, which included firing its recently delivered Tor-M1 (SA-15 ‘Gauntlet’) road-mobile shelter-mounted low- to medium-altitude surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems.
Deliveries of some 29 Tor-M1 systems from Russia were finalised in January. The estimated USD700 million contract also included a number of battery-level Ranzhir command posts, transporters and loading vehicles, maintenance equipment, trainers, 9M330/9M331 SAMs, spare parts, accessories and other hardware.
Fonti russe riportate dal Jane’s Information Group hanno dichiarato che
The new systems will be deployed for “the protection of vital military and civilian assets, firstly in Isfahan and then Bushehr, Tehran and in the east of the country”
