Armenia's Radar-Silent AD-08 Air Defense Gap #shorts

Added: 2026-06-01

[00:00:00]Armenia just showed a radar silent air defense system from Iran.

[00:00:04]That is not [music] a parade detail. It is a gap being patched in public.

[00:00:10]The system is the Majid AD08, developed by Iran's Defense Industries [music] Organization, known as DIO.

[00:00:19]Armenia appears [music] to be the first foreign operator.

[00:00:23]About four launchers were seen in Yerevan, each with four ready missiles.

[00:00:27][music] The numbers are modest. 15 km detection, 8 km engagement, [music] 6 km altitude.

[00:00:37]But the doctrine matters.

[00:00:39]Majid does not use [music] radar to find or guide targets. It uses optical and thermal sensors, then an infrared [music] seeker to home.

[00:00:49]That means fewer emissions for enemy EW teams to detect and suppress.

[00:00:54]For Armenia, this answers a real 2020 lesson.

[00:00:59]Azerbaijan's Harop munitions and Bayraktar TB2 drones [music] exposed Armenian ground forces from above.

[00:01:07]Now Yerevan is buying French, Indian, Greek, Iranian, and Chinese systems.

[00:01:13]Not one patron, [music] a portfolio.

[00:01:16]But this is still Shorad.

[00:01:19]8 km is point [music] defense, not a shield. Iran's F-35 claim is still unconfirmed, but it stays point defense.
