The new missile, dubbed ‘Sayyad 4B’, has a range of 300 kilometers.

The Iranian air defense system managed to detect the target at a range of more than 450 km with its optimized radar and tracked the target at a distance of around 405 km before detonating it with a Sayyad 4B whose engine runs on hybrid solid fuel.

The new breakthrough has increased the range of the detection radar of Bavar 373 from 350 to 450 km, while its tracking radar’s range has risen from 260 to 400 kilometers, Tasnim writes. The employment of Sayyad 4B also means that the range of the Iranian air defense system missiles has been extended to 300 km and the altitude of engagement has increased from 27 to 32 km.
