Bavar-373 (Persian: باور-۳۷۳, meaning Belief and 373 being Abjad for یا رسولالله or O, Messenger of Allah!) is an Iranian long-range road-mobile surface-to-air missile system unveiled in August 2016.[3] Iran describes it as a competitor of the S-300 missile system. It is manufactured by the Iranian Defence Ministry in cooperation with unspecified local manufacturers and universities.[4]
The system was formally unveiled during a ceremony attended by the Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on 22 August 2019,[1][5][6] and was declared operational the same day.[1]
An upgraded version was unveiled in 2022. Iran described it as a competitor to the S-400[7] and said it was capable of shooting down fifth-generation fighter aircraft.[8]
