"Will surpass the Russian S-400": Iran creates a new modification of the Bavar-373 air defense system

In 2019, Iranian Brigadier General Shahrokh Shahram, then head of the Defense Ministry's Radioelectronic Industry Organization, said the new Bavar-373 air defense system had surpassed the capabilities of the American Patriot and even THAAD. Now it is already said about the higher efficiency of the air defense system in comparison with the Russian S-400 "Triumph".

New modifications of the Bavar-373 will appear soon, which may be at the same or higher level than the S-400

- said Iranian Deputy Defense Minister Brigadier General Mahdi Farahi.

According to Iranian news agency Tasnim, the former head of the Aerospace Industry Organization also explained that the country has developed a new type of liquid rocket fuel that is as stable as solid. As a rule, rockets are equipped with solid fuel, which must be ready for immediate launch, but with the disadvantage that it is less effective than liquid fuel. The stable liquid fuel would give Iranian missiles a faster rate of fire while also making them lighter.

The Bavar-373 was developed by Iran due to Russia's refusal to export the S-300 air defense system as part of the sanctions policy of the UN Security Council. The system created by domestic developers uses several radars to detect up to 300 targets simultaneously, track 60 of them and strike 6 targets. It is able to work despite various types of interference.

Ironically, the Bavar-373 ammunition, the Sayyad-4 missile, is an improved version of the SM-1 sold to Iran by the United States prior to the 1979 revolution that toppled the Western-backed Shah and brought the current regime to power. The Iranian modification has a range of up to 210 km and can reach hypersonic speeds.

Significant improvements will be required if the new version [Bavar-373] is to outperform the S-400, which can hit targets at a distance of about 400 km using 40N6E ultra-long range missiles. However, if it is really possible to do this, then Iran may have an effective weapon to intercept low-altitude satellites or ballistic missiles in their intermediate phase [flight]

- said the Iranian general.

The article can be called: Good morning Israel! It turns out that the Mossad screwed up at Nataniyahu's, such a shaitan in six months, not a single Iranian master Danila will bungle. Four missiles for one target, won't it be too much?

[Alex777]

Too many "IFs" for these Iranians.
And their sanctions will be more abrupt than ours.
The S-400 is a dream. So they mention him in vain.

I doubt something ...
Even the Israelis do not boast that the Russian complexes have surpassed them.
And as for Iran ...
Maybe they will cut out really good ones.
Or maybe not...
Only when they join their troops will Russia test the S-600.

Wait and see.

Do not worry, Aaron, this is a purely defensive weapon and does not threaten Israel.

Israel, as always, is for peace and early testing of the new Iranian systems.

Speaking and making are not the same thing. But some Iranian neighbors still, you need to think about it.

I watched the video of the launch of the Bavar and the S-400, visually the speed of the S-400 rocket is a little higher, and also the high Bavar slide should it be, or is it purely a launch at a high-altitude target? there is no moment of hitting the target in the video, so that we can estimate the height ...
Again, there is no information on the permissible rocket overloads and the type of control ...
Again, the S-400 has a mortar launch, while the Bavar has a hot one, immediately on the engines, although it is not very visible on the survey.
Here is the shooting of the S-400

[Lech from Android.]

The most important thing in the rocket is the fuel, if the Iranians really managed to create a new type of fuel, then we should expect new murders of Iranian scientists, but already chemists ... by the special services of a known country.

[jonht]

The main thing, but not the most important thing. Again, if liquid-propellant rockets (from the text of the article, "a new type of liquid rocket fuel has been developed"), the problems with transportation and storage, although according to the video, look more like solid-fuel ones.
And I do not think that they solved the problem of encapsulating reagents, as they did for the Makeev Design Bureau (Sineva, Liner) missiles, again, the cost of this technology for ICBMs is one thing, for anti-aircraft missiles it is probably expensive ...

[alch3mist]

Probably, it is transmitted as an infection. Now the meaning of the ukrovoyak's presence in Afghanistan is clear: they infected neighboring Iran with bragging.

Success, soon, I hope, we will find out how real it is ...

[alexniko77]

well, the Americans are also about to make a super-duper-hypersound, but when and will they do it or we will do it, once again ...

[V1er]

Interesting interesting. Do they have something to compare with? S-400 from China? So it is for export and it is unlikely that the Chinese will merge the true characteristics with everyone in a row. With the export s-300, which was delivered to Iran? The system is not new, with stripped down capabilities. How can you say about creating something better when you have never held the comparison object in your hands, only looked at pictures?

[Castro Ruiz]

Is Bavar-373 better than the S-400?
As Stanislavsky said: "I don't believe". :)

"Will surpass the Russian S-400"

This arrogant zilch in the east is probably not worth commenting on.

[husband]

- Doctor, my neighbor Irakli, he is already 70, says that
maybe five times a night.
- Izya, open your mouth. So, the language is in place. What is stopping you
say the same thing?

[agond]

If the fuel is poisonous, then the rocket, then it can be encapsulated, and if low-boiling, then the rocket can be "thermos", that is, it can be stored at low temperatures in a special refrigerated launch container,

[Fitter65]

Well, God forbid your calf to gore a bear.

[Stepan S]

Oh, this Iranian marketing, how can we do without mentioning the S-400
