During the annual National Army Day Parade, Tehran strutted out its recently acquired Russian S-300 surface-to-air missile defense systems.

Russia signed a deal with Iran in 2007, but back-peddled due to pressure from the West.  After the Iran nuclear deal was signed last summer, Moscow agreed again to supply the weapons.

The event also featured the display of a command post, a truck for towed long-range target acquisition radar, a short-range radar station and a mobile radio antenna, according to RT.

The Avtobaza M electronic warfare complex has two elements which were demonstrated. The system is believed to be responsible for the hijacking of a U.S. drone a few years ago.

President Hassan Rouhani and top military commanders were there to see the Russian weaponry, along with Iran’s advanced weapons, including Ghader, Nasr and Fakour missiles, and a long-range missile system, according to Mehr news agency.

That's because we have terrible negotiators. They make bad deals, terrible deals. They're the worst. Believe me, I'd make much better deals because I know how to do deals. I get along with everyone. I'd make a great deal so fast with Iran, your head would spin, I kid you not.
