The anti-aircraft system, developed in April 2010, is the nation’s first advanced air defence system and is based on the US-built MIM-23 Hawk.
The system is capable of hitting targets at distances as far as 150km and is also capable of destroying advanced airplanes in low and mid altitudes.
The Sayyad-2 surface to air defence missile system was also successfully test launched.
