The new Iranian complex is presented in two versions: "Arman" ("Aspiration") and a low-altitude version of the system called "Azarakhsh" ("Lightning"). The missiles used in the Arman system belong to the Iranian-made Sayyad-3 class. The complex is capable of simultaneously hitting six targets at a distance of 120 to 180 kilometers. Azarakhsh, in turn, can simultaneously use radar and electro-optical systems to detect and intercept targets. The missiles used in the system are equipped with thermal homing heads and use infrared aiming systems.
According to the Iranian news agency IRNA, the presented systems will significantly enhance Iran's air defense capabilities as soon as they are added to the country's military park.
