The purported launching of a Shahin missile during war games in Iran.
Iran has a locally made radar system with a range of some 2,900 kilometers. In January, Iran claimed to have shot down two U.S ¬pilotless spy planes that had violated its airspace, though the U.S. military said it had no record of that.
Iran restructured its military in 2009 in an effort to improve its air defenses. Last week, the country's official news agency Press TV reported that Iran had completed the production of a self-made version of the Russian S-300 missile, over a year after Moscow cancelled a delivery of the sophisticated system to Tehran to comply with United Nations sanctions.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev banned the delivery of the high-precision S-300 air defense system to Iran in September of 2010, scuttling a tentative deal in gestation for years, saying it would violate expanded UN sanctions imposed in June over Iran's defiance of demands to curb its nuclear program.
