Where does Iran's confidence come from? When Iran is not in trouble, it blows up its various air defense missiles and radars to the sky! When real fighting starts, it has not shot down 1 Israeli aircraft, intercepted 1 Israeli missile, or shot down 1 Israeli guided bomb.
The only achievement of Iran's air defense forces is shooting down 7 Israeli drones. Now, Israel may be about to attack Iran again. Iran's ballistic missile attacks are indeed very powerful.
However, Iran only has offense, no defense. This is something that no one can endure for long! The new round of conflict in the Middle East has already lasted one and a half years. Iran has not bought Russian air defense missiles or China's HQ-9B air defense missiles. Iran just doesn't want to spend money!
The Iranian military is still making statements, saying that Iran now has a new generation of air defense missile system. Currently, Iran's air defense capabilities have the Alman air defense missile system within 100 kilometers. Within 20-70 kilometers, there is the Bavar-373 air defense system and the Azarakhsh missile system.
In fact, whether in the Iranian battlefield in 2025 or in the Syrian battlefield during Bashar's period from 2013 to 2024, Iran's air defense missile records have basically been zero, with zero shoot-downs of Israeli aircraft, zero shoot-downs of Israeli helicopters, and zero interceptions of missiles. The only exception was shooting down one Ukrainian civilian airliner in 2020.
