On December 31, 2012, Iran successfully tested the Ra’ad (Thunder) surface-to-air missile.
     

During the exercise, which will take place in central Iran, missile units “will be used in massive combat and operational tactics,” he said.

Heidari did not provide any specifications for the new missiles.

On February 10, Iran successfully tested the Fakour air-to-air missile and on December 31, 2012 the Ra’ad (Thunder) surface-to-air missile, the agency said.

In July, Iran’s Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi announced progress in the development and manufacture of an indigenous version of the advanced Russian S-300 air defense missile system.

Iranian military officials said the missile system, called Bavar (Belief) 373, is even more powerful and more advanced than the Russian S-300.
