Iran Press/Iran news: Brigadier General Sabahifard, speaking at Imam Khomeini’s Mausoleum in south Tehran on Saturday morning noted the achievements of the Iranian army's air defenses in the past year and said Iran is pressing ahead full-speed with its plans to further develop its air defense capabilities.
General Sabahifard said the newly-unveiled 'Bavar-373' air defense system has many advanced features that only a limited number of countries can manufacture, Iran Press reported.
Sabahifard said the “Bavar-373” air defense system, which is made in Iran, can be used in all weather conditions, effectively responding to all sorts of threats."
The surface-to-air missile system, Bavar-373, was unveiled two weeks ago, on the National Day of Defence Industry, at a special ceremony attended by President Hassan Rouhani, Defence Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami, and various other senior officials.
'Bavar-373' is more advanced than its American and Russian equivalents -- the US Army's Patriot Air Defence System, and the Russian Army's S-300 Missile Defence System. 101/211/205
