“Following the 12-day war with Israel in June, Iranian authorities learned that Israel could easily locate their radar systems and take them out, leaving Tehran’s forces blind to the skies above, Avivi said. Unlike the radar installations, the cameras don't transmit a signal that Israel can use to locate them, he added.”

Damn innovative.

Early detection lets you prepare the defenses.

Like getting some MANPADS teams in the route of an oncoming helicopter assault.
