Iran unveils new locally developed missile defense system

Aug. 22 (UPI) -- Amid heightened tensions with the United States, Iran rolled out a new missile defense system Thursday it says was developed and built locally.

President Hassan Rouhani hailed the surface-to-air Bavar-373 missile system, compared it favorably to the Russian-made S-300 and said it rivals the S-400. He praised Iran's defense industry for producing "effective systems" to counter aerial threats and detect, track and destroy radar-evading aircraft "from a safe distance."

Iran said the mobile anti-aircraft missile has two search and intercept radars that are resistant to electronic warfare and electromagnetic bombs. They can also detect the anti-radiation missiles often used to destroy air defenses.

In introducing the system Thursday, National Defense Industry Day in Iran, Rouhani said the nation's religious doctrine is based on deterrence.

I didn't even know they had a National Defense Industry Day in Iran. Even we don't have that.

The Iranian leader also criticized the United States for abandoning the 2015 nuclear deal and attempting to bully and sanction Tehran into surrender.

"There is no doubt that the U.S. has not succeeded and will not succeed in any plot in the region," Rouhani said, adding that U.S. forces would be "first to flee" if danger arrives in the Middle East.

So, it looks like the Iranians are gearing up and loaded for bear.

And yet, internet based "experts" on warfare predict we'd defeat them
in a matter of days with our overwhelming superiority....no boots on
the ground. The war would proceed precisely according to plan...just
as all other wars have.

They have to gear up as you call it, so they can have some form of control over their own territory, and so they can defend against US military who look to want to take over control of the sea outside Iran

I gave you a funny frubal because there isn’t one for disturbing irony.

A weapons system from the 90's isn't going to protect them.

They want these weapons to protect themselves from the USA.
And Trump has made it clear that they need them.

They should have tried harder.

Who should have tried what?

Iran barely survived the USA/Iraqi invasion of the 80s.
That's just one episode of the US attacking Iran.

Obama's peace plan gave the USA 10 years to demonstrate that we aren't the bully and threat we used to be. Then Iran wouldn't have the need for heavy weapons. Trump trashed that, as we all know.
So now they both know that they need the weapons, and that the USA cannot be trusted when it tries to make peace.

Iran might as well announced it developed a sling shot.

No need to get worried about Iran.

The S-400 Triumph (Russian: C-400 Триумф, Triumph; NATO reporting name: SA-21 Growler), previously known as the S-300PMU-3,[3] is an anti-aircraft weapon system developed in the 1990s by Russia's Almaz Central Design Bureau as an upgrade of the S-300 family. It has been in service with the Russian Armed Forces since 2007. In 2017 the S-400 was described by The Economist as "one of the best air-defence systems currently made".[4] According to Siemon Wezeman Senior Researcher of SIPRI the S-400 "is among the most advanced air defence systems available".[5][6]

Old news, but state of the art tech per the link.
The point we should be taking from this is that attacking Iran
has the potential to be more difficult than is being presented
to us by hawks & Trump. I can imagine several scenarios
wherein it gets very messy, even involving other countries.
It's happened before. It could easily happen again.

They(Iran) have their rights to defend against America if America chooses to invade the sea outside of Iran or the area for shipping. America is NOT a world police

It isn't even a matter of having the right to do so.
It's a matter of having the capability to do so.

Might makes Right, as the USA keeps pointing out to the rest of the world.
