Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has officially unveiled the indigenous 'Bavar-373' missile defence system, which is said to be an Iranian version of the Russian S-300.
The system was unveiled in a Thursday ceremony held on the occasion of National Day of Defence Industry.
A distinguishing feature of Bavar-373 is its vertical launching system with square launchers, mostly used for air defence on warships.
Bavar-373 uses a long-range, phased array fire-control radar, dubbed Me’raj-4.
The air defence system employs three different types of missiles to hit targets at various altitudes.
Iranian military technicians have in recent years made great headways in manufacturing a broad range of indigenous equipment, making the armed forces self-sufficient in the arms sphere.
