Iran test-fires missiles, unveils militaryachievements in ongoing drill
据伊朗媒体１４日报道，伊朗军队当天在“伊斯兰领空卫士４”防空演习中成功试射了改进后的“Ｓ-２００”防空导弹。
半官方的迈赫尔通讯社引用哈塔姆安比亚防空基地司令法尔扎德·伊斯梅耶利的话说，伊军１４日在伊朗南部港口城市阿巴斯港成功试射“Ｓ－２００”防空导弹。他说，这种导弹经过改良，可命中战略飞机、导弹等高空目标。
伊朗２００７年与俄罗斯达成协议，购买比“Ｓ－２００”导弹更为先进的“Ｓ－３００”防空导弹。但２０１０年，俄罗斯以“Ｓ－３００”在联合国制裁范围内为由，拒绝履行协议，伊朗只能自行改进“Ｓ－２００”导弹系统。
此外，据半官方法尔斯通讯社报道，伊军１３日还在东部某地成功试射了“霍克”防空导弹，导弹击落一架无人机。报道说，伊朗“霍克”防空导弹可侦测锁定８０公里范围内的飞行目标，有效攻击范围为４５公里。
伊朗１２日开始“伊斯兰领空卫士４”大规模防空演习，为期７天，覆盖面积超过８５万平方公里，占伊朗领土面积的一半左右。参演部队主要来自于伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队和伊朗军队的防空力量。
Iran's Army and the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) have test-fired a range of missilesand unveiled their military achievements in the ongoing joint air defense drill starting on Monday.
Code-named "Modafe' an-e Aseman-e Velayat 4", or "The Defenders of the Sky of Guardianship 4", the seven-day drill is held in an area of more than 850,000 square km, accounting for half ofthe country, in which a large number of soldiers are participating.
On Wednesday, the third day of the drill, Iran testified S-200 air defense missile system "successfully" in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas, said the commander of Iranian Khatam al- Anbia Air Defense Base, Farzad Esmaili, adding that the missile system has been developed forhigh-altitude targets.
The missile system can also confront strategic aircraft and semi-ballisticmissiles, Esmaili wasquoted as saying.

In July, 2011, IRGC said Iran had managed to upgrade the Russian-made long-range S-200 airdefense system into an entirely new apparatus, according to local media.
Also on Wednesday, Iranian air force "successfully" test-fired another two homemade missilesystems, "Qader" and "Ya-Zahra 3", in the eastern province of Southern Khorasan, the officialIRNA news agency reported.
The "Qader" missile is equipped with electro-optic and laser rangefinder systems, while the "Ya-Zahra 3" missile is designed to be used in low altitudes, said the report.
On Tuesday, semi-official Fars news agency reported that Iran " successfully" test-fired the Hawkair defense system. The state- run IRIB TV also showed a footage in which the missiles mountedon a lorry and was fired at an aircraft.
One day earlier, Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi unveiled a home-madehovercraft that can launch missiles and serve as a launch pad for drones, Fars reported.
The hovercraft was designed and developed by Iranian experts in two models for combat, "Tondar" and "Thunderbolt", and for transportation missions, said the report.
Vahidi said "Tondar" can be equipped with different types of weapons produced by the Iraniandefense industries, including rockets, guns and unmanned aerial vehicles.
"Thunderbolt" can be used "for coastal patrolling, for offensive reconnaissance operations, for mid-range amphibious missions and asymmetric defense, as a personnel and equipment carrier forlogistical support for islands and coastal areas, as a command vessel, or as a sea ambulance forrelief and rescue missions," he was quoted as saying.
He further added that the new hovercraft will increase the combat and reconnaissance capabilitiesas well as the mobility of the Iranian armed forces.
Press TV reported Monday that besides radar air defense and missile systems, as well as tapping, artillery and surveillance systems, diverse kinds of fighter jets, including F-4, F-5, F-7, F- 14, Mirageand Sukhoi, as well as refueling aircraft would also be deployed in the drill.
The military units would also practice modern tactics in response to recent threats from certainparts of the world, Esmaili said Monday.
Esmaili said the ongoing drill displays the full strength and preparedness of Iran's air defense forcesto defend the Islamic republic's interests, and the message sent by the drill is "peace" for theregional and friendly countries and "a strong slap" at the enemies.
Iran has held a series of "Modafe' an-e Aseman-e Velayat" drills since years ago, aiming to prepareits air defense forces in the face of Western threats against the country's nuclear sites.
The United States and its Western allies suspect that the nuclear activities of the Islamic republicmay aim at weapon-grade program, while Iran insists on its "peaceful" nature. The United Statesand Israel have not ruled out the possibility of striking Iran's nuclear establishment.
Deputy Commander of Iran's Armed Forces Chiefs of Staff Brigadier General Masoud Jazayeri saidWednesday that the Islamic republic's armed forces hold a "doctrine" that "we should respond toany threat immediately in proportion to the type of the threat. "
"Necessary preparations are in place for this measure, meaning that the Islamic republic of Iran'sArmy and the IRGC possess the necessary and sufficient preparedness for the implementation ofthe doctrine," Jazayeri was quoted by Press TV as saying.
He said a lot of training has taken place in this regard, especially concerning the defense of thePersian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. |
