Taer 2
The Taer 2 (Persian: طائر, meaning "bird") is an Iranian mid-range radar guided solid fueled surface-to-air missile designed to defend against aerial threats at altitudes of up to 25–27 km (75000 ft) and distances of up to 50 km away. It is meant for use as part of the Ra'ad air defense system, and was revealed during a military parade in Tehran on 21 September 2012. It shows similarities to the 9M317 missile just as the Raad air defense system does to the Buk missile system.
