Awake Goy TEHRAN (FNA)- Commander of Khatam ol-Anbia Air Defense Base Brigadier General Farzad Esmayeeli said the enemies who have been defeated in their wars against the regional states don’t dare to even approach the Iranian borders.
“Today, we see that despite its military power, the enemy has been paralyzed in the Persian Gulf and has been defeated in Iraq and Syria and generally, the arrogant powers, despite all their military power, have become paralyzed in Afghanistan, Syria and Lebanon and don’t dare to approach the Islamic Republic of Iran’s borders,” Esmayeeli said, addressing a ceremony in the Northwestern city of Tabriz on Sunday night.
Stressing the Iranian Armed Forces’ vigilance and the highly advanced equipment provided to them to safeguard the country’s borders, he said the Russian S-300 missile defense system which has been delivered to Tehran by Moscow recently will also go operational by the end of the current Iranian year (that ends on March 20, 2017) alongside other home-made missile shields stationed in different parts of the country.
Moscow and Tehran signed a contract for the delivery of five battalion sets of S-300 PMU1 air defense missile systems in 2007.
Iran displayed the first S-300 air defense missile system imported from Russia in April.
A battalion of the S-300 missile defense system was showed off without displaying the missiles. Russia is due to deliver several more S-300 missile shields to Iran by the end of this year.
Iran’s Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan announced in May that the Russian S-300 missile defense system has been delivered to Khatam ol-Anbia Air Defense Base, adding that the Iranian version of the defense shield called ‘Bavar (Belief) 373’ will be produced soon.
“The strategic S-300 defense system has been delivered to (Khatam ol-Anbia) air defense base,” Dehqan said while visiting Khatam ol-Anbia’s achievements in Tehran.
General Dehqan also announced that building of the home-made Bavar 373 defense shield is in its last stages, adding, “This defense system which can engage with multiple targets, including ballistic and cruise missiles, drones and warplanes, will be manufactured and its production line will be inaugurated this year.”
Dehqan added that the long-range defense system can target several targets simultaneously.
He also visited Bavar 373 project.
Iran designed and developed its own version of the S-300 missile shield, known as Bavar 373.
The Iranian version has superior features over the original Russian model as it enjoys increased mobility and reduced launch-preparation time.
