The Islamic Republic is building a missile system which will be much more advanced than the S-300 system.

After Moscow refused to deliver S-300 missile system to Tehran, the commander of the Khatam-ol-Anbia Anti-Aircraft Base announced on Monday that “experts at home started work on producing” this missile system.

The missile system, called Bavar 373, will in fact be a replacement for S-300, Brigadier General Farzad Esmaeili told a press conference, Mehr news agency reported.

Esmaeili also said air defense maneuvers will start either in the next calendar month of Mehr (September 22-October 21) or Aban (October 22-Novemebr 20).
