IRNA � �Bavar-373�, an Iranian developed missile system which is known as �Iranian S-300�, is ready to be unveiled and be delivered to the armed forces, said a senior official with the Defense Ministry on Friday.






Brigadier-General Qasem Taqizadeh made the remarks addressing a large crowd of worshippers in the southern Iranian city of Shiraz prior to the city�s Friday prayers while the country is preparing to celebrate the National Defense Industry Day on August 22.

He said that the new missile system will be unveiled next week.

Bavar-373, with a range of 200 kilometers and a height of 27 kilometers, enjoys capabilities more than the Russian S-300.

Defense Ministry officials had previously announced that the system had successfully undergone different tests.

Noting that the missile developed for Bavar-373 is very swift and agile, and is fully Iran-made, Taqizadeh said that the new system will manifest Iran�s defensive power to the world.

Iran�s �Bavar-373� missile system looks a lot different from similar American and Russian models in terms of launcher, radar and missiles.
