Russia Starts Delivering S-300 Air Defense Systems to Iran

World

Moscow started the first phase of S-300 Air Defense deliveries to Iran on Thursday, Russian media outlets reported.

Russian news agency Itar-Tass reported minutes ago that Moscow has started delivering the systems to Iran in practice.

Iranian Ambassador to Russia Mehdi Sanayee had informed FNA in mid November that Moscow had adopted practical measures to start deliveries of the sophisticated air defense shield to Iran.

 

On November 9, Russia signed a new contract with Iran on the delivery of “about 300” S-300 air defense systems, according to Russia’s state technologies corporation Rostec.

Iranian Ambassador to Moscow Mehdi Sanayee announced that the contract to deliver the Russian S-300 missile defense system to Tehran has been finalized and its implementation is underway.

“As our defense minister and the Russian side have announced, the contract has been finalized and both sides have reached a definite agreement in this regard,” Sanayee told FNA.

“The implementation of the contract is moving on its natural course,” he added.

In September, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov announced that the contract between Moscow and Tehran on the delivery of S-300 missile defense systems to Iran will be signed in the near future.

“The negotiations are continuing, the contract will be signed in the near future. All political decisions have been made, there are no obstacles there,” Ryabkov said.
