Sayyad-2C/3C/4 ranges are 70/120/200 km respectively. And it's thought Bavar-373 only uses the Sayyad-4. Lastly, Meraj 4 is more comparable to the 64N6 'Big Bird' radar, with similar capabilities and role.

6 years ago when they launched Sayyad 2 SD2M they said it has range of 75 km and one can not oppose with the range of 120 km for its radar, but you are ignoring the fact that Sayyad 2 was upgraded to SD2AM and SD2CM one can say range was upgraded each time too as IRGC already said 3th khordad has a range of 105 km so i say that SD2CM so that's that. and i believe its close to 120 km as they dose not say the real range.

and 2 years ago they said thay going to increase the range of Sayyad 3c

as Bavar only use one missile, well that not accurate as they showed Sayyad 3 and Sayyad 4 for Bavar 373 and they already confirm it.

On 30 September 2011, Commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya Air Defense Base Brigadier General Farzad Esmaili said that the Bavar-373 missile defense system uses two or three types of missiles to confront aerial targets in different layers. He stressed that the Iranian Defense Ministry has been actively pursuing the legal case over Russia's delivery of S-300 systems to Iran. The Iranian commander said the Bavar-373 surface-to-air missile system is more advanced than the Russian S-300 missile defense system.

as for Meraj 4 i agree with you i should have compared it with big bird and i should have compared this unknown Bavar radar with LEMZ 96L6 radar.

IRIADF S-300PMU2 has been moved to Asaluiye to protect the vast petro-chemical industry there. Probably the Bushehr battery.
Now only Bandar Abbas's Persian Star refinery is at direct risk.

Moving bombers, fighters and ships around sends a message to the enemy. Moving a S-300 battery has the same effect.

Possible that a limited, regionally restricted skirmish with Saudi Arabia/UAE is inbound.
This would be the first time Iran would engage in a high-tech conflict to show whether its own systems and concepts are credible or not.
 
Have they been upgraded and how many in service?
yes they have been upgraded by Iran, well we ordered 200 of them 50 was given to Iran and then the order for others was canceled but in Iran _ Iraq war unknown numbers of them were taken by Iran and some came to Iran to run from US air force.

Any info on updates.
 
no, no information has yet been published by Iran

No problem. I seen the Polish upgrade, that's impressive.

If have more pictures plz post. I flicked through 30 pages of this thread, will scan more over the weeks.
