Iran destroyed Saudi radar systems with drones
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran announced that it destroyed the AN/FPS-117 radar system located near Al-Qaysum airport in Saudi Arabia using drones. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This radar was worth approximately 20 million dollars and had the capability to detect aerial objects within a radius of 460 kilometers. Iran's action seriously impacted the security and surveillance capabilities of the United States and its allies in the Middle East.

According to information, since February 28, Iranian forces have also destroyed the AN/FPS-132 radar in Qatar, as well as the AN/TPY-2 radar systems in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates. The total estimated damage so far amounts to 2.7 billion dollars.

These actions have made it more difficult for the US and its allies to control the skies, restricted air defense systems, and forced a reconsideration of strategic plans. After the destruction of the radar systems, the US increased the deployment of E-3 Sentry (AWACS) aircraft to ensure security in the Middle East.

These special airborne reconnaissance and surveillance aircraft are equipped with the largest radars and play a crucial role in detecting drone and missile attacks. Additionally, the US has begun relocating air defense systems from South Korea and other regions to the Middle East.

Iran's strategic moves have further complicated the geopolitical situation in the region. The United States and its allies have been forced to take rapid measures to ensure security in the Middle East.

This has led to a new phase of military and political disagreements and conflicts in the region. Thus, the situation in the Middle East is becoming more tense and remains at the center of international attention.
