Wonder if the missiles have been used against a BM. The apparently short range engagement would point to it.

General Esmaili confirmed they had successfully intercepted a ballistic missile.

Wonder if it was Zelzal-2 long range battlefield rocket (would mimic the performance of SCUD-B) of the IRIAF/IRIGF. Potent BMs are in service with IRGC-ASF, don't know if they participated.

This is very good news. No doubt the equations in the pentagon are being modified yet again. Very nice work!

Can't wait to see Bavar-373 operational.

Iran Gen Ismaili: Bavar 373 will be operational soon

"soon" is a very widespreaded term of iranian military.....few years also possible...

lets be realistic, i think B-373 is technologically minimum a decade behind the S-300PMU-2

S-300 PMU2 is very potent! it took russia decades...

@Draco.IMF stop talking out of your ***.

So, we received something in-between S-300 PMU2 and S-400!and they're calling it S-300 IRNow we know why there were so many round of talks before contact signing.In the end Russia actually did us some good favors by not delivering PMU1 back in 2010. It pushed our Bavar R&D to an unprecedented level plus now these better than PMU2 version.

With a range of up to 200 km, the S-300 is capable of simultaneously tracking and striking multiple targets.


Iran successfully test-fired a sophisticated Russian-made air defence system, the official IRNA news agency reported on Saturday.

The report said the test of the S-300 system came during a recent military exercise named Damvand, the name of Iran’s highest mountain.

It said the test targeted various flying objects, including missiles. With a range of up to 200 kilometres (125 miles) the S-300 is capable of simultaneously tracking and striking multiple targets.

1. State TV aired footage of the missiles launching from the back of trucks. It said the test was carried out in Iran’s central desert.

Part of $800-million deal

Russia delivered the S-300 system to Iran in 2016, nearly 10 years after the initial contract had been signed. Iran signed the $800-million contract to buy the S-300 missile system in 2007, but Russia suspended their delivery three years later because of strong objections from the United States and Israel.

In 2016, a landmark nuclear deal between Iran and world powers went into practice under which Iran limited its nuclear activities in return for the lifting of sanctions.

There is no evidence to suggest this. Quite the contrary. The S-300 does not have AESA radars while Bavar-373 does. The Bavar-373 has a longer range of 300 km. Jamming resistance is an unknown though.

On top of that our Engineers now have access to this PMU2+. Bavar will only gonna get better in future iterations..

First we'd have to see what deficiencies there are in the first place compared to the S-300. As of now we haven't even seen a launch.

If I had to make guesses - not assertions - I'd say the Russian system is probably superior in missile speed and jamming resistance.

defense minister said out of 5 level tests, 3 levels have completed, fourth level test which was supposed to be completed in Esfand postponed due to technical problems, nonetheless he did give a specific schedule for the final operating tests before the 3 khordad 96 (24 may 2017).

Just imagine the enemy jet pilots seeing a wall of missiles coming at them lol

But seriously though. This will give a bit of a breather for Iran.
