+whiteknight06604 Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 looks like there is a reference to it being used by Serbia on Wikipedia and by Canada on twitter Canadian Armed Forces Operations on Twitter: "On May 15, #OpILLUMINATION came to an end. Since February, 30 RCAF personnel and the AN/TPS-70 mobile radar system have been deployed in Iceland to ensure long-range radar coverage while the Icelandic radars underwent scheduled maintenance and upgrades. https://t.co/U7IwwUdgxS" / Twitter and AN/TPS-70 - Wikipedia 1 Quote

+strahi Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) I ask friend from Iran, his father was pilot in AF on Il-76. Hi confirm that Iran never had model 70, only AN/TPS-43. Edited April 26, 2021 by strahi 3 Quote
