There is no data available about the number of home made systems that Iran has. But if the Ballistic Missiles is any clue, they are able to mass produce the AD systems in high numbers. They also have given it priority for almost a decade now.
ADS is the most important of the weapon systems and military equipment of any country. Now there is a threat from stealth cruise missiles and hypersonic maneuvering missiles and jamming missiles that may be involved in a war in the 2020s. ADS have to be on top game so the nation is not pushed around in a war.
Having spare ADS that will defend from regular cruise missiles is always good for Iran. Ample mobile radar too is vital to pick up that the enemy is attacking with regular cruise missiles and to send out ADS from underground cover to intercept. Although jamming missiles will mess up this strategy. These are the new arrivals of the next decade and Iran is prepare for the three if they want to not just win the war, but to stop it early on.
There is a reason to have limited ADS on deployment and have ample reserves is for this reason, the enemy will want to use up stockpiles of old cruise missiles on Iran, stockpiles that old ADS will hit. The newer cruise missiles should be up to ten times the cost of old cruise missiles.
