I've decided to post this older article of mine (though somewhat recently updated) given it's about one of Iran's most important defence products to date.

Since the cancellation of the first S-300PMU-1 delivery by Russia in 2010, Iran vowed to develop a superior system, and the Bavar-373 was finally fully unveiled on Defence Industry Day on 22nd August 2019 after roughly 9 years of development.

I've read that the system is still not in mass-production. Do you know why? A system like this is essential to defend Iranian nuclear assets.

I've read that the system is still not in mass-production. Do you know why? A system like this is essential to defend Iranian nuclear assets.

It's one of those systems they can't stop developing. For example for a long time it was only supposed to have 200km range but in November they did a 300km range test with a new missile (detailed in the article). Now they're developing another system called Arman that will have 400km range but it seems (I hope!) that will be a separate system probably with a different role.

Usually a defence ministry unveiling such as the one we got in November means serial production. So hopefully Bavar is finally being produced in numbers.
