Russia to supply Tehran S-300 missiles
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia intends to fulfil a contract to supply S-300 air defence missile systems to Iran, Interfax news agency quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov as saying on Friday.
Israel and the US 0, which can shoot down hostile missiles or aircraft up to 150km away. There is a contract to supply these systems to Iran, and we will fulfil it, Ryabkov told Interfax in an interview. Delays (with deliveries) are linked to technical problems with adjusting these systems, he added.
He also cautioned against politicising Russias arms exports to Iran.
It is absolutely incorrect to put the emphasis on the issue of S-300 supplies... and to turn it into a major problem, to say nothing of linking it to the discussion on restoring trust in the purely peaceful character of Irans nuclear programme, Ryabkov said.
