Iran's military leadership unveiled the first fully domestic missile defense system, Arman. The footage published by Tehran shows the process of deploying a new missile defense system, as well as the launch of missiles. The system is designed to combat missiles at low altitude with the simultaneous use of radar and optical-electronic systems for detecting and tracking objects.
According to Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Ashtiani, the new missile defense system has impressive capabilities and has an operational system, which in turn is a combination of several systems. Thanks to these factors, the new product will definitely play an important role in the country's defense.

The new Iranian complex is presented in two versions: "Arman" ("Striving") and a low-altitude version of the system called "Azarakhsh" ("Lightning"). The missiles used in the Arman system are Iranian-made Sayyad-3 class missiles. The complex is capable of simultaneously hitting six targets at a distance of 120 to 180 kilometers. Azarakhsh, in turn, can simultaneously use radar and electro-optical systems to detect and intercept targets. The missiles used in the system are equipped with thermal homing heads and use infrared targeting systems.
As noted by the Iranian news agency IRNA, the presented systems will significantly increase Iran's air defense capabilities once they are added to the country's military fleet.
