Satellite images reveal that Israel's strike on Iran's Isfahan air defense radar system, including the S-300 radar, was confirmed with no damage to the radar. Iran quickly replaced the destroyed radar with a similar model in an attempt to cover up the strike, but experts doubt its functionality.
The Islamic republic replaced the damaged air defense system at the base in Isfahan shortly after the attack attributed to Israel, aiming to downplay extent of the damage https://t.co/vNLMi7ooHd

#Iran has tried to cover up impact of Israeli missile strike, according to new satellite images. It replaced the destroyed radar (Right photo) in Isfahan within hours of the attack to make it appear as though the damage had been minimal so it does not need to respond https://t.co/QMPM8gCtYl
Iran tried to cover up the damage caused by the alleged Israeli airstrike near Isfahan last week, satellite imagery appeared to show on Wednesday. https://t.co/TjKxYHWH2f
New satellite images shared exclusively with The Economist show how a swap by Iran helped calm a crisis https://t.co/8nW9azfBFk Photo: AP https://t.co/TaLkFoDmZ2
Satellite images show that Israel's strike in Iran last week destroyed an air-defense radar. Iran then quickly pulled a switcheroo, hauling it away and sticking a similar (but incompatible) radar on the same spot so it could claim the strike was harmless. https://t.co/9SDVBwnwA8
According to "The Economist," immediately after the attack, Iran hurried to replace the damaged air defense battery in Isfahan so that they could claim, through satellite images, that there was no damage. https://t.co/6xC7GoRKih
Economist: Israel struck an Iranian “Tombstone” radar then Iran "pulled a switcheroo" and replaced it with a different 96l6e “Cheese board” radar on the same spot. “It’s a case of denial and deception...to suggest the site is still operational.” https://t.co/gJj0VkbI1V
#Israel's strike on #Iran *did* destroy an S-300 'Tombstone' radar in #Isfahan, but within hours it'd replaced it with a similar model -- in a "switcheroo" intended to cover-up its loss. But the replacement isn't interchangeable -- it's unlikely to work. https://t.co/ebF22bZMrC https://t.co/fiSCk5ZRJ4
My new piece, citing @CSBiggers' analysis, explains how Iran kept up its story that Israel didn't hit anything: they substituted a (completely different) radar for the one Israel struck to make it look like the S-300 battery at Natanz is still operational. https://t.co/XHPk9mJOQV
New satellite images show how Iran saved face and backed down from the crisis with Israel: it simply swapped one destroyed air-defence radar for a fresh one https://t.co/gyfcPuyS9O 👇
On April 19, Isfahan was jolted by three powerful explosions. Israel's missiles had reached far into Iran's territory six days after Tehran's drone and missile attack on Israel. @NavidHamzavi explains how Israeli missiles broke Iran's air defense lines. https://t.co/MuxyEeTPOQ
Burn marks at a location near Isfahan's dual-use airport and airbase suggest that Israel's strike against Iran struck a radar for an S-300 air defence missile system, analysts say https://t.co/8c7S9ywRZZ

Satellite photos taken today confirm that Israel was able to take out a radar system in Iran with its retaliatory strike. And so I say again: Israel was able to do more with 3 missiles than Iran managed with 300. https://t.co/NC0MztaPum
