Description
[edit]Despite its compact size, this radar plays an important role in increasing the security of Iran’s airspace.[1][2][3]
The Samen 3D radar, which operates in the VHF band and is known for its long wavelengths, is particularly effective in detecting stealthy targets, especially those with minimal cross-sections. The radar is classified as a medium-range and tactical radar. Among the achievements of the Samen radar is its ability to detect the American Global Hawk drone, which on June 20, 2019, facilitated its destruction by Iran’s defenses by transmitting data to the Som Khordad system.[4][5][6][7]
