TEHRAN (Tasnim) � Iran's air defense units keep close watch on the �tiniest moves� in the country's airspace, a senior military commander underlined.

� Lieutenant Commander of Khatam al-Anbia Air Defense Base General Ali Reza Sabahi-Fard said on Monday that the country�s entire airspace is closely monitored by the integrated network of air defense.




�Not a tiniest move will go unseen by the Air Defense Base�s sharp eyes,� the commander explained.

In recent years, Iran has made great achievements in its defense sector and has attained self-sufficiency in producing essential military equipment and systems. As part of these accomplishments, Iran�s aerial defense has been able to build a big part of its equipment and arsenal by its own experts.

Earlier on April 15, Commander of Khatam al-Anbia Air Defense Base Brigadier General Farzad Esmaili praised the outstanding features of Iran�s new home-made radar system, dubbed �Raasad-32�, describing it as a great achievement in the area of detection and identification of different types of aircraft.

As regards the important features of the domestically-made radar system, Esmaili explained that the Raasad-32 can detect the flying targets� direction, altitude and velocity.

The system is capable of transmitting the collected data to the Control Center from a range of more than 15 kilometers.
