UPDATE:
Iran hails transforming Russian S-200
Tue Jul 12, 2011 3:31PM
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says Iran has managed to upgrade the Russian-made long-range S-200 air defense system
...
into an entirely new apparatus.
IRGC Air Defense Commander Brigadier General Farzad Esmaili said Iran has introduced such wholesale enhancements into the system that it can be assigned a new name, Fars News Agency reported on Tuesday.
He said the system has been wholly optimized that its configuration totally differs from what the Russians had designed.
"Of course, the changes have also received the confirmation and commendation of the [Russian] manufacturers of the system," Esmaili said.
