Iran urgently deploys S-300 and electronic warfare vehicles to defend the capital
The Iranian military has recently deployed air defense missiles and electronic warfare vehicles around Tehran, this unusual deployment of defensive forces is probably not just for traditional physical firepower drills, but rather to cripple the aerial search capabilities of US aircraft in advance during high-end attacks. However, what kind of interference weapons are hidden in this defense network, the Western intelligence units are still investigating.
Open-source intelligence indicates that the S-300 air defense missile launchers appeared in the south of Tehran, and a high-power electronic warfare vehicle (Cobra-V8) was also deployed nearby. Analysts point out that combining an air defense system with actual killing power with an electronic warfare system that interferes with electromagnetic signals can theoretically disrupt the enemy's attack chain before their aircraft enters the firing range.
Regarding the capabilities of this electronic warfare weapon, military observers say that its appearance is extremely similar to Russian electronic warfare equipment (Krasukha-4), which may be capable of interfering with early warning aircraft and some radar and communication links. In practical terms, such electromagnetic interference will make the enemy's aerial operations more complicated and face greater risks of being killed, eventually forcing the enemy to adjust the reconnaissance distance.
The S-300 air defense system has always been considered a key weapon by Iran to protect the core infrastructure of the regime. This time, merging it with electronic warfare vehicles, the outside world generally believes that it is mainly to deal with the potential high-end aerial strike methods of the US military. Recently, a large number of US aircraft have been gathering near Iran, and the conflict is on the verge of eruption. However, some experts also believe that it is possible that this deployment is used as a lure to absorb US attack firepower.
