Russia Completes Delivery of S-300 Air Defense Missiles to Iran
Russia has completed the delivery of S-300 air defense missile systems to Iran, RIA news agency quoted Russia’s state arms export agency as saying on Thursday.
Russia’s agreement to provide Iran with S-300 defense systems has sparked concern in Israel. Moscow canceled the contract to deliver S-300s to Iran in 2010 under pressure from the West.

Russia delivered the first parts of the S-300s, the missile tubes and radar equipment, to Iran in April 2016.
