Iran has showed off parts of its new Russian-made air defence system during its Army Day celebrations.
Pictures released by the 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.
The contract got the go-ahead after last year’s deal to lift sanctions on Iran. The S-300, made by Rostec, can be used against multiple targets including jets.
