2nd Brigadier General Saeed Shabanian, head of the Inspection Department of Iranian Defense Ministry, said during Friday Prayers sermon in the southwestern city of Shiraz that the Iranian version of S 300 air defense dubbed ‘Bavar-373’ is ready to join armed forces.
The domestically-made air defense can cover 200 km and track different air threats at an altitude of 27 km. The system enjoys superior capabilities than the Russian S 300.
The officials at Defense Ministry have already announced that ‘Bavar-373’ was successfully test-fired.
Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami said last week that Bavar-373 will be unveiled on August 22.
