AFP: Iran releases images of new missile defence system
Tehran (AFP) - Iran released images of its first domestically built long-range missile defence system on Sunday, a project started when the country was under international sanctions.
Images on multiple state news agencies showed President Hassan Rouhani and Minister of Defence Hossein Dehghan standing in front of the new Bavar 373 missile defence system.
The system was designed to intercept cruise missiles, drones, combat aircraft and ballistic missiles, according to earlier statements by Dehghan.
The project was launched as an alternative to the Russian S-300 system, the delivery of which was suspended in 2010 due to sanctions imposed over Iran's nuclear programme.
"We did not intend to make an Iranian version of the S-300 -- we wanted to build an Iranian system, and we built it," Dehghan told the IRNA news agency over the weekend.

No you reverse engineered the 300.
The guy on the right and the guy third from the right do not want their faces photographed. It is not a coincidence.
