The Iranian army has received the improved Azarakhsh air defense system. This is reported by the Asmu Recognition publication with reference to Iranian defense experts. The publication notes that this action is part of Iran's broader strategy to strengthen its defensive capabilities, especially in the field of air defense, in response to the growing threats from missiles, drones and aircraft in the region.

The Azarakhsh, introduced in August 2024, is the latest short–range air defense missile system developed by Iran. It is designed to reliably protect against threats at low and medium altitudes and is equipped with advanced technologies aimed at enhancing Iran's ability to protect its airspace without using foreign military technology.

The author of the article adds that the Islamic Republic seeks to reduce dependence on foreign suppliers and strengthen its deterrence potential in the face of external threats.

Speaking about the advantages of the Azarakhsh, the publication notes its advanced onboard system, which provides effective detection, tracking and destruction of targets.

The system is equipped with a passive phased array antenna that provides a 360-degree all-round view with a detection range of up to 50 km. This allows Azarakhsh to effectively detect and track targets even in fierce and dynamic combat conditions.

– it is emphasized in the material.

Another important advantage of this air defense system, according to the author, is its mobility.

The Azarakhsh gun mount, mounted in the back of the truck, is equipped with four ready-to-launch surface-to-air missiles. These missiles provide a maximum range of 10 km and can reach speeds of up to Mach 1.8. This makes the Azarakhsh a highly maneuverable and responsive system capable of hitting a wide range of aerial targets, from tactical missiles to drones and low-flying aircraft.

The publication draws attention to the fact that the deployment of an improved air defense system occurred at a time when tensions between Iran and Israel are at an unprecedented high level. At the same time, Tel Aviv, already possessing a sufficiently powerful air defense system, continues to modernize it.

At the same time, according to the publication, the deployment of the Azarakhsh air defense system will intensify the arms race in the Middle East.
