He also referred to Russia’s promise to deliver the S-300 air defense systems to Iran and expressed hope they would arrive as agreed.
Late last month, Iran's Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan announced that the country would test the home-made version of the sophisticated Russian S-300 missile defense system, dubbed as Bavar (Belief) 373, before March 2016.
The Iranian version reportedly boasts superior features over the original Russian model as it enjoys increased mobility, agility and reduced launch-preparation time.
Similar to its original Russian model the Bavar 373 traces and intercepts high-altitude targets.
Last month, Russian President Vladimir Putin removed the ban on the delivery of the S-300 missile complexes to Iran.
