Iran Planning to Send Team to Russia to Choose Replacement for S-300 Missile System Delivery

Russia-s300

The Iranian defense ministry is due to send a delegation to Russia to discuss delivery of a substitute for S-300 defense shield, a legislator revealed on Monday, January 13, 2014.

“I accompanied the chairman of the parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission (Alaeddin Boroujerdi) in a meeting with the Iranian ambassador to Russia and discussed the substitute system for the S-300,” Chairman of the parliament’s Defense Committee Esmayeel Kosari told Fars News Agency.

Kosari underlined that when the time is ripe for the endorsement of a contract to buy a substitute for the S-300 defense shield from Russia, the Iranian parliament will also send its representatives to the talks to become informed of the process.

In 2007, Iran signed a contract worth $800 million to buy five Russian S-300 missile defense systems.

But the deal was scrapped in 2010 by then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who was unilaterally expanding on sanctions against Iran imposed by the UN Security Council.
