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.[1]. [2]. It shows similarities to the 9M317 missile just as the Raad air defense system does to the Buk missile system[3]

History

During Velayat 91 maneuvers in December 2012 the Iranian Navy successfully tested the Raad Air Defense System[4][5] but it is not clear if the Raad missile tested in Iranian Navy is the same one as the Taer-2 missile of Raad system designed by the IRGC Aerospace Force.
