Iran developing long-range radar, upgraded missile defense

Iran is developing and improving technology in order to increase the range and numbers of its systems in order to boost its defense. Beginning this Tuesday, Iranian forces will begin a now annual drill and practice on fake missiles and aircraft. They will spend 5 days practicing with these targets in order to analyze the effectiveness of this new radar technology. New long range missile defense systems have also been implemented and can now fire on a target as far as 3,000 km away: this is a huge increase from the previous systems that could only fire 400 km away. There will be more improvements over time.
