New Generation of Bavar-373 Air Defense Missile System

Iran showcased its military capabilities through a high-profile drill, featuring both the Russian S-300 and its domestically produced Bavar-373 air defense systems. This demonstration served as a pointed message to Israel, signaling Tehran’s ability to secure its airspace despite the October Israeli airstrikes that, according to Israeli officials, inflicted significant damage on Iran’s defensive infrastructure.The exercise’s timing was deliberate, occurring just one day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with U.S. President Donald Trump to discuss Tehran’s nuclear ambitions and regional influence. Both leaders reaffirmed their hardline stance, vowing to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. President Trump reinforced his “maximum pressure” strategy, focusing on crippling Iran’s economy by targeting its oil exports.Iran, February 05, 2025, Photo by SalamPix/ABACAPRESS.COM
