S-300 Missile System Partly Stationed in Iran, DM Confirms

Seyed Hossein Naqavi Hosseini, rapporteur of the Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, told Tasnim that General Dehqan attended a Wednesday session of the commission.

The defense minister confirmed that part of the air defense system has been stationed in the country, the MP noted.

A recent delivery of missiles of S-300 into Iran made it clear that a revised contract between Tehran and Moscow was specifically on the purchase of S300-PMU2 model.

On April 17, Iran displayed part of the sophisticated missile system in a military parade in Tehran, held to mark the National Army Day.

The gear unveiled in the ceremony included 2 radar systems of S-300, its carrier and command vehicles as well as the crane for lifting its missiles.
