Russia denies selling S-300 missile systems to Iran

Written on December 29, 2007 – 7:22 am | by Frontier India Strategic and Defence |

The Russian government service for cooperation in military production said that it is not considering the delivery of S-300 surface-to-air missile systems to Iran. It was Iranian defense minister Mostafa Mohammad-Najar who said Thursday that Russia would supply his country with S-300 surface-to-air missile systems.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says that the US plans for the deployment of anti-missile defenses in Eastern Europe are aimed at Russia’s curtailment and not protection from Iran’s possible strikes. In the field of anti-missile defenses, Russia has suggested joint use of the radar in Azerbaijan which can raise bilateral relations to the level of those of allies in strategic stability matters.
