Following the announcement of Russia’s new Stratolink Argus project for high-quality satellite connection for the Ukrainian war, other military powers have also decided take a crucial step in this type of technology.
Iran, for its part, used to depend on the American GPS or the GLONASS Russian. For security reasons, it seems that it is taking a new strategy to avoid critical vulnerabilities and attacks in the war against the United States and Israel.
After the country led by Donald Trump managed to shoot down the largest ship since World War II and deceived the Islamic Republic into wasting millions of euros in ammunition, The Iranian army has decided to ask China for a hand with its BeiDou navigation system.
Drones and missiles will now have fewer problems with signals, being more precise and unpredictable. This strategic choice puts Washington and Jerusalem on alert, giving way to an even more tense situation.
Iran relies on the BeiDou system to eliminate any trace and weakness before the United States
The latest events in Iran’s war against Israel and the US have determined that several confrontations were successful for the American countrylike the Operation Epic Fury y Epic Wrath.
The US military has also used smart tactics such as reverse engineering the LUCAS drone to stop the Shahed-136, replicating and improving features.
Another advantage that the nation led by Trump has had is GPS. The aforementioned satellite network under its domain allows signals to be blocked from Washington in conflict zones to prevent part of the attacks carried out by Iran from being carried out properly.
Because of this, the Islamic Republic is relying on China’s Beidou navigation systemwhich is backed by a 25-year alliance pact, according to reports Stiripesurse.
Xi Jinping’s government created this technology especially to compete with the US GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and Europe’s Galileo.
How does the BeiDou enhance Iranian weapons?
Its capacity is such that it provides global coverage and precision superior to others, being an effective option for rconsiderably reduce the margins of error.
In military use of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)this means that Iranian drones, missiles and other weapons obtain benefits such as satellite stability, resistance to cyber attacks such as jamming and centimeter precision.
Therefore, the reinforcement decision between Tehran and Beijing increases capabilities in the current electronic warfare. Now, different Shahed models could be more difficult to intercept and there could be more advanced two-way messaging.
The speed of reaction and defense is critical, so Israel and the United States are probably finding a way to counteract this technological transition that Masoud Pezeshkian and Mojtaba Khamenei have launched.
