Tehran/22.08.19/Turan: On August 22, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani introduced a long-range Bavar-373 anti-aircraft missile system (SAM). The action is timed to the Iranian Defense Industry Day, IRNA agency reported.
The complex has already been tested in 2017 and is an Iranian development. After the West imposed sanctions, Moscow refused to sell the S-300 air defense system to Tehran. Therefore, Iranian experts began working on the Bavar-373 air defense system.
