In a ceremony on Thursday, 22 August on the occasion of National Day of the Defense Industry, president Rouhani visits different parts of the Iranian home-made defense system “Bavar-373” which is more capable of Russian made S-300 system.

Iran Press/Iran news: By the order of President Rouhani, Bavar-373 officially joined Iran's Armed Forces defensive equipment.

Bavar-373 is a domestically-built long-range mobile air defense system that was developed after the UN Security Council passed a resolution banning the sale of advanced weapons to the Islamic Republic, which in turn suspended Iran’s purchase of the Russian S-300.

A distinguishing feature of Bavar-373 is its vertical launching system with square launchers, mostly used for air defense on warships.

The missile system uses a long-range, phased array fire-control radar and employs three different types of missiles to hit targets at various altitudes.

The new system is said to be capable of neutralizing both conventional aerial targets such as aircraft and drones, as well as high-speed ballistic missiles.
