/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Russia must meet conditions of the contract over
the sale of defensive anti-aircraft missile systems to Iran, without
succumbing to pressure from outside, Iranian Defense Minister Ahmad
Vahidi said.
The Iranian minister said that Tehran has a contract with Russia
over supply of missile systems. "In respect to the purchase of S-300,
we have a contract with Russia, and I think that Russia will not be
comfortable if be treated as an unreliable partner," Wahid said on
Thursday. Antiaircraft missile systems S-300PMU1, known in the West
as SA-20 systems, can be used to destroy air targets such as cruise
missiles and aircrafts, Reuters reports.
