During the main stage of the Zolfaqar 1401 joint drills, held in southern Iran, the Iranian Army forces practiced downing hostile targets with various radar systems.
The advanced surface-to-air missile system 'Mersad' were employed to detect, intercept and hit the aerial targets over the war game zone.
Mersad missile systems are used to fire Shahin (Falcon) missiles which are reverse-engineered, domestically upgraded versions of the MIM-23 Hawk surface-to-air missiles.
Earlier on Saturday, Iranian indigenous drones including Arash, Bavar, and Ababil 5 took off from the board of the Sahand destroyer and shot the simulated targets at the coast.
Also, the Iranian air defense systems including the low-altitude ‘Majid’ air defense missile system and ‘Khatam’ artillery fire control system targeted a range of aerial targets successfully.
