Israel is preparing a response to Iran for its massive attack on Israeli territory on the night of April 14. It is possible that Israel will strike Iranian territory. The Iranians have several air defense systems at their disposal that could be used in the event of an Israeli attack, but their effectiveness is questionable.
Defense Express writes about this.
The Iranian military has at least 10 S-200 and 32 S-300PMU anti-aircraft missile systems. The latter were transferred to Iran *by Russia in 2015. These systems are long outdated and are unlikely to be able to effectively intercept Israeli missiles.
In addition, Iran has the latest Bavar-373 air defense systems, introduced in 2019. Nothing is known about the real capabilities of this complex, but the Iranians claim that these air defense systems are more powerful than the Russian S-400. At the same time, “Bavar” has not been tested in real combat conditions, so this statement is highly controversial.
Iran also has medium-range air defense systems such as the MIM-23B I-Hawk and Chinese HQ-2, as well as Talash/15th Khordad systems that can hit targets up to 150 kilometers away.
In addition, Iran has at its disposal a significant number of short-range systems, such as Tor-M1 and Chinese FM-80.
Currently, the Israeli authorities are preparing a response to the attack from Iran, but specific steps are still unknown.
