The Sevom Khordad, also known as the 3rd Khordad (Israeli codename: SA-65), is an Iranian road-mobile medium-range air defense missile system introduced on May 11, 2014. It is believed to be an upgraded version of the Ra’ad air defense system and is somewhat superior to the other version of Ra’ad, the Tabas system, although it shares similarities with the Ra’ad. Its operational effectiveness was demonstrated when it shot down a U.S. Northrop Grumman RQ-4 Global Hawk near the Strait of Hormuz. The system is named after the liberation of Khorramshahr, which occurred on the 3rd Khordad of the Persian calendar.
