Iran says it has replaced air defences damaged in Israel war

IRAN, JUL 20 – Iran restored full airspace coverage by replacing damaged air defense systems after a 12-day conflict with Israel that killed over 1,000 in Iran, officials said.

  • Following the 12-day conflict with Israel in June 2025, Iran restored its air defense capabilities by repairing the systems impaired during the hostilities, regaining full control over its airspace.
  • The conflict began with an unprecedented Israeli bombing campaign targeting Iran's radars and air defenses, aiming to destroy its military capabilities.
  • Iran used existing air defense systems like the domestically made Bavar-373 and Russia's S-300, and deployed pre-arranged replacements to maintain security.
  • Army operations chief Mahmoud Mousavi highlighted that by deploying existing air defense systems and substituting damaged ones, Iran has successfully restored full control over its airspace, reinforcing the protection of the nation’s skies.
  • The replacement of damaged systems suggests Iran preserved its defensive capabilities despite the Israeli strikes and continues to secure its airspace effectively.
