The Third of Khordad air defense system can track and target fighter jets, bombers and cruise missiles upto 25,000 meters (almost 75,000) high. All its components have been place in a vehicle and its radar, tracing and missile-launching systems have been improved.

An IRGC Aerospace Force commander said the new air defense missile system can be compared to the sophisticated S-300 long-range air-defense missile shield, adding that its range will be increased to 100km and then 200km in future.
