(Worthy News) – Iran successfully tested its Russian-made Bavar-373 and S-300 air defense systems last Wednesday, shooting down a simulated enemy drone as part of an exercise that mimicked a large-scale drone attack, the Washington Times reported.
Last Wednesday, Iran demonstrated the operational capability of its long-range defense systems through a successful test, countering Israeli claims about its military readiness.
This test, reported by Iranian state media, demonstrated the country’s enhanced defensive capabilities, especially in detecting low-altitude targets, following Israel’s October strike.
This development is likely to fuel further speculation about Iran’s global standing, particularly as some defense experts believe Iran’s position has weakened due to the fall of the Assad regime in Syria and Hezbollah’s decline in Lebanon.
The tests in Iran coincided with U.S. President Trump’s first meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu since taking office. While details are scarce, both leaders focused on Iran’s nuclear program, agreeing that Iran must not develop nuclear weapons. President Trump emphasized his commitment to exerting significant pressure on Iran.
