Iran displays S-300 air defence missile system to public
TEHRAN, Iran – Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard has displayed the country’s sophisticated Russian-made S-300 air defence system in central Tehran.
This is the first time that the S-300 air defence system has been displayed in public.
The public show in Tehran’s Baharestan square near the Parliament building square exhibited different missile systems, including ballistic missiles, solid-fuel surface-to-surface Sejjil missiles and the liquid-fuel Ghadr.
The IRGC prepared the show for the annual Defence Week, marking the 37th anniversary of the 1980s Iran-Iraq war.
U.S. President Donald Trump signed in August a bill imposing mandatory penalties on those involved in Iran’s controversial ballistic missile program and anyone who does business with them.
