Russia to Deliver S-300 Missile System to Iran
Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar said here on Wednesday.
Najjar dismissed any link between the said contract and the recent report by 16 US intelligence bodies which confirmed the peaceful nature of Iran`s nuclear activities, adding that the date of S-300 delivery would be revealed to public later in future.
S-300 is considered as among the most advanced anti-missile systems in the world capable of targeting various types of missiles and warplanes at different altitudes. Despite Tour-M which can identify and trace targets merely at low altitudes, S-300 enjoys the required capabilities to trace and destroy targets at low and high altitudes, granting Iran air superiority over enemy missiles and aircrafts.
