Iran on Thursday revealed the Bavar-373 air defense system, described as a “substantial upgrade” over the Russian-made S-300.
The unveiling ceremony was attended by President Hassan Rouhani, Defense Minister Brig. Gen. Amir Hatami, and other senior military officials.
“With this long-range air defense system, we can detect ... targets or planes at more than 300 km (190 miles), lock it at about 250 km, and destroy it at 200 km,” Defense Minister Amir Hatami told state television, according to Reuters.

Bavar-373 reportedly uses a long-range, phased array fire-control radar, dubbed Me’raj-4. It utilizes Sayyad-4 surface-to-air missiles said to have a maximum range of 200 km.
