Description

The Talash 3, 'Endeavor-3' in English, is a long-range air defense system capable of shooting down an aerial target at ranges of more than 200 kilometers flying at low, medium and high altitudes. The Talash 3 was developed by the Islamic Republic of Iran under its domestic weapons program started in 1992 as a response to the United States arms embargo. The new air defense may be capable of firing Sayyad-2 and Sayyad-3? surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) to defeat helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), cruise missiles and high-speed and highly maneuverable fixed-wing aircraft. All in, it may be able to neutralize airborne threats flying at altitudes from a tens of meters to 30,000 meters at ranges of up to 200 kilometers. One key element of the Talash 3 is the Arash 2 radar which may feature new technology, most likely active electronically scanned array (AESA), that makes possible detection and tracking of small targets. The missile system itself may be a key element to prevent a potential US and/or allied air strike as well as to fill the gap by the Russian denial to sell the S-300 air defense system to the Islamic Republic. The existence of Talash 3 long-range air defense system was announced by the Islamic Republic of Iran in March 2015.
