Russia delivers S-300 air defence system: Iran
TEHRAN, December 5, 2016
Russia has fully delivered all parts of S-300 air defence system to Iran and the two countries have agreed to develop logistical and technical cooperation, a senior Iranian government official said.
The air defence system was finally handed over to Iran despite the ups and downs and Iran currently has taken possession of the technology as well as air defence technology, spokesman of Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Hossein Naqavi-Hosseini was quoted as saying by Irna.
Given the full implementation of the S-300 deal by Russia, there is no need for pursuing complaint with the International Court of Arbitration over delays in delivery of the air defence system, he added, noting that Tehran and Moscow have excellent ties in the field of arms interaction.
