Iran announces new long-range radar system
Iran's semi-official Fars news agency is reporting the country has inaugurated a new long-range radar system capable of detecting small drones and ballistic missiles. The Tuesday report says the system, dubbed as Sepehr or Sky, has a range of more than 2,500 kilometers or 1,550 miles.
Tehran regularly announces military advances that cannot be independently verified. Since 1992, Iran has launched a homegrown defense industry that produces light and heavy weapons ranging from mortars and torpedoes to tanks and submarines.
