Iran successfully fires Bavar-373 air defense system on 2nd day of war game

Iran has for the first time employed its homegrown missile defense system Bavar-373 in a military exercise.

Bavar-373 has been operated in a joint air defense exercise, codenamed Guardians of Velayat Sky-99, underway in more than half of the countrys territories.

The Iranian air defense missile system successfully destroyed standoff targets on Thursday.

Iran unveiled Bavar-373 in August 2019. The long-range air defense system is capable of detecting up to 100 targets, tracking 60 of them, and engage with six concurrently.

A distinguishing feature of Bavar-373 is its vertical launching system with square launchers, mostly used for air defense on warships.

Bavar-373 uses a long-range, phased array fire-control radar, dubbed Meraj-4.

The air defense system employs three different types of missiles to hit targets at various altitudes.
