The S-300 advanced air defense missile systems that Russia refused to deliver to Iran have now been completely dismantled and scrapped, the CEO of the company that built them said Thursday.
The Russian President has not given orders to complete a deal to transfer the S-300 surface-to-air defense system to Iran, the President’s spokesman said Wednesday, refuting earlier rumors that the deal had gone through.
Answering the questions from reporters, Dmitry Peskov replied “no” when asked if President Putin had given such orders. Earlier, the Russian newspaper Kommersant informed that Moscow will offer Iran S-300 missiles and help in constructing a new building in Bushehr nuclear reactor site.
The Kommersant article said that the President decided to supply Iran with five battalions of S-300VM systems "Antey-2500", provided that Tehran would withdraw the claim of $4 billion, filed in connection with the breakdown of the old contract to supply five battalions of S-300PMU-1.
