Tehran, SAEDNEWS, Nov. 5: The new automatic and smart missile-firing system was unveiled in a ceremony participated by IRGC Commander Major General Hossein Salami. Addressing the ceremony, General Salami said that the flight of Iranian missiles brings fear to the enemies. “Our missile power is a guarantee for enemies’ withdrawal,” he added. “Our missile power is the strong pillar of deterrence and a reliable defense for the Islamic Republic and a formidable power with which the political will of the Islamic Republic is displayed to the enemy and is imposed on them if necessary,” General Salami said.
His comments came days after Iran's home-made strategic missile defense system Bavar 373 could successfully intercept and destroy an electro-optic-guided target during the wargames codenamed 'Modafe'an-e Aseman-e Velayat 99' (Guardians of Velayat's Sky-99) jointly staged by the Iranian Army and the IRGC in October.
On the second day of the massive aerial wargames October 22, Bavar 373 for the first time within the framework of Iran's integrated air defense network, successfully detected, intercepted, fired and destroyed a target with a very low radar cross-section.
Iran unveiled the state-of-the-art surface-to-air Bavar 373 missile defense system, designed and manufactured by the country's experts, in August 2019.
It is a mobile missile defense system designed to intercept and destroy incoming hostile targets. The system employs missiles that have a maximum range of 300 kilometers.
The system is capable of simultaneously detecting up to 300 targets, tracking 60 targets at once and engaging six targets at a time (Source: FarsNews).
