The Commander of the Iranian Army's Air Defense Force, Brigadier General Alireza Sabahifard, announced Sunday at a military academy in Tehran that while Iran previously manufactured the first version of the Bavar-373 air defense system with a range of 200 km, the system has now been upgraded in response to threats.

The new Bavar-373 missile system, the commander announced, has been tested at a range of 300 km.

“We are monitoring the enemies at their bases. The range of our radars is thousands of kilometers,” he said, adding that the Iranian Armed Forces are at their highest level of deterrence.

The Bavar-373 was first unveiled in August 2019. Iran's long-range air defense system is capable of detecting up to 100 targets, tracking 60, and engaging with six at the same time.
