The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has deployed a radar system in the southern countryside of Syria’s Deir Ezzor, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on August 1.
The radar was reportedly deployed in al-Mazar’a area in the outskirts of the town of al-Mayadin, where Iranian-backed forces maintain a large presence. The London-based monitoring group didn’t provide any information on the type of the radar.
Al-Mazar’a overlooks much of the southern Deir Ezzor countryside, as well as the eastern bank of the Euphrates River which is held by the Syrian Democratic Forces. The US maintains several bases on the eastern bank.
“Iranian military experts supervised the installation and operation of the radar within the area,” the SOHR quoted one of its sources in Deir Ezzor as saying.
The US and Israel have carried out airstrikes on Iranian-backed forces in southern Deir Ezzor on many occasions over the last few years.
The new radar was likely deployed by the IRGC to provide early warning, or as a part of secret preparations to deploy air-defense systems in southern Deir Ezzor. The Syrian Arab Air Defense Forces are not active in the region due to their limited resources.
Bravo! Another chicken-wire and rubber decoy for the dumb israelis to blow a cool few million in missiles on.
The Persians must be rolling in the aisles …
Mohammed Ali called it Rope A Dope.
It has wheels. All they need to do is move about 25 m as soon as they detect incoming missiles. The glide bombs are GPS guided. All they hit are stationary shacks.
Hmmm, together with our Russian friends??? Is shooting back, anti semitic???
Iranian Khordad and Bavar 373 are now being deployed in Syria along with a force protect brigade. So much for Zionist boasts.
As per July 2020 agreement between Iran and Syria. Looks like End Days for israel and criminal family run Arab regimes.
Thats why they’re MOBILE you idiot. Fire and Scoot. F16’s can be tracked and shot down shortly after take-off. Israel’s ONLY dominance is coming to an end. Iran has been testing bavar 373 for years in the Syrian arena
