During a military parade on Wednesday, the Iranian armed forces showcased a range of military equipment, including drones and long-range ballistic missiles days after it attacked Israel.
Among the showcased arsenal was the newly enhanced long-range air defense system named Bawar-373. This upgraded surface-to-air missile system boasts the capability to engage aerial targets at distances exceeding 300 kilometers, including short-range ballistic missiles.
The modernized complex features the latest iteration of the solid-fuelled surface-to-air missile, Sayyad 4B, enhancing its interception capabilities.
The Iranian Bawar-373 air defense system, with its extended range, demonstrates the capacity to detect up to 100 targets, track 60 simultaneously, and engage six of them concurrently.
