Herz-9 (Persian: حرز نهم) is an Iranian, domestically built, mobile air defense system developed and unveiled in 2013.

Development

In May 2013, the Ministry of Defense of the Islamic Republic of Iran announced that it had launched the mass production of a new Air defense system, called Herz-9.

Description

According to Iran's Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi, Herz-9 "can identify and target enemy helicopters, rockets, and fighter jets at low ranges and low altitudes of about 8-12 kilometers." He also said that "this mobile air defense system uses the most technologically advanced computer hardware and software and the latest navigation system available today."
