but you may put 12 S-300 batteries in Syria and give them 75-100 MiG-35 and than say that their air space is secured. Got it. crod wrote:How many batteries are included in the deal Victor?

Cheers,
Minister of Defence of the Islamic Republic, Gen. Hossein:
"We agreed to discuss all issues related to this contract and prepare an agreement within a month, so that the contract could be implemented by the end of the year."
Dehghan said that no additional Russian specialists would be needed since all of the Iranian specialists working with the system had already gone through training.
TASS wrote:MOSCOW, April 23. /TASS/. The delivery of S-300 air defense systems to Iran is not a matter of near future, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov told the media on Thursday.
"I do not think that it is a matter of near future. It is far more important that a political and legal decision has been taken to open up such an opportunity," Ryabkov said.
He pointed out that the situation had changed drastically after the Russian president’s decision taken on April 13 to lift the freeze from the sale of S-300 to Iran.

Those S-300 will be sent to Iran, as deputy defense minister does not trump president of country.

The article said wont be delivored anytime soon, amd goes on to say about the push by Putin. My understanding may be that he means not soon as in not in few months because last I heard, it wont be delivored till late this year. Coming from a deputy defense minister raises an eyebrow, but it could be misquoting for how vague his statement was.
"I do not think it's a question of the nearest time (delivery of S-300 to Iran). More importantly, the decision to political and legal, which opens up the opportunity. As for timing, it is the subject of an agreement between Moscow and Tehran," - said Ryabkov.
Viktor wrote:Nothing has changed. The thing Ryabkov was referring to is that the new contract needs to be singed (approx. 1 month) afterwards Iran will get its missiles (by the end of this year).
The Deputy Prime Minister of Russia said Friday that "the conditions of supply of missile defense systems S-300 to Iran are confidential and will not be announced," reports RIA Novosti .
In April 2015 Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree lifting the ban on the supply of S-300 systems to Iran, introduced after the accession of Russia to the resolution of the Security Council of the UN in 2010.
RIA wrote:VIENNA (Sputnik) — The issues related to the existing contract on deliveries of S-300 air defense systems to Iran are time-consuming and could not be resolved in a few weeks, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Thursday.
"In my experience, it is a rather complex and time-consuming issue. It cannot be resolved in a matter of days or even weeks," Ryabkov told RIA Novosti ahead of a fresh round of Iran nuclear talks in Vienna.

There's also this from today.
