Iran displays new Russian S-300 defence missile parts

Iran has displayed parts of its new Russian-made air defence system during its Army Day celebrations.
Pictures released by the semi-official ISNA news agency showed S-300 missile tubes and radar equipment during a military parade in southern Tehran.
Iran insists the system is necessary to defend itself, but the US and Israel have criticised the sale.
