Iran has developed its own version of the Russian S-300 air defense system, Fars news agency reported Thursday.

Iranain military officials stated that the "Mersad" missile was developed and produced by Iranian engineers, and is designed to trail and hit "any enemy aircraft at a distance of 70 to 150 kilometers (40 to 90 miles)."

"The missile's control systems are advanced, and can track moving targets," said a military official, adding that "the system has undergone many tests in the past few months, some under severe conditions."

Earlier this week, Iran announced that it had begun mass production of a cruise missile capable of targeting battleships. The Iranian foreign minister noted that the "Radar" missiles have been transferred to the military and Navy, in order to safeguard Iran's maritime borders.
