Iran successfully test-fired a sophisticated Russian-made air defense system, the official IRNA news agency reported on Saturday.

 

The report said the test of the S-300 system came during a recent military exercise named Damvand, the name of Iran's highest mountain.

 

It said the test targeted various flying objects including missiles. With a range of up to 200 kilometers (125 miles) the S-300 is capable of simultaneously tracking and striking multiple targets.
