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

It is impossible for Iran to have this system.

I have no idea and I'm just speculating but could it possible they captured a set or purchased one illegally and possibly reverse engineered it?

Only in their dreams.

I wonder if it could have been part of the Iran-Contra affair, after all Iran still received American equipment such as MIM-23 Hawk launchers back then.

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.
