Iran rolls out HAWK anti-aircraft defenses for Khomeini anniversary
2019-06-02
Golly. Is it real this time, or is it, as usual, vapourware?
[Rudaw] Tehran will deploy its HAWK anti-aircraft defense system on Monday to protect its airspace from potential attack when thousands gather in the Iranian capital to mourn the father of the Islamic Revolution, Ruhollah Khomeini, security officials said.

Hundreds of thousands of Iranians will descend on Khomeini’s Mausoleum in southern Tehran to remember the leader of the 1970 Islamic Revolution who united the country against Iraqi aggression in the 1980-88 war.

He died June 3, 1989.

#1  ...The HAWKs are quire real. 45 years old, but real. Some years back, a pic got out of one of their F-14s rigged to carry one in place of the AIM-54s they were supposed to have/gave to the Russians.
