The “Eqtedar” military exercises in the central province of Isfahan saw the introduction of an improved version of Iran’s domestically produced Bavar-373 air defense missile system. The updated Bavar-373 launcher has a novel integrated radar system that enables autonomous target tracking. The Bavar-373, which was working alongside a Russian-made S-300 during the drills, engaged and shot down an enemy plane in the Kavir desert.
