Russia starts deliveries of Antey-2500 missile systems to Egypt

[MICA]

Russia has begun delivering Antey-2500 air defense missile systems to Egypt under a contract signed earlier, a high-ranking source in the Russian Defense Ministry told Interfax-AVN on Thursday.

"Deliveries of auxiliary technological equipment have been launched. Within a year, Egypt will receive launchers and other equipment," he said.

"The contract is being implemented according to schedule," the source said, declining to say how many Antey-2500 systems were purchased by Egypt.

Antey-2500 is the export version of Russia's S-300V4 surface-to-air missile system, which is used by the Russian Land Forces. The new system is able to engage ballistic and aerodynamic targets within a range of up to 400 kilometers.

Venezuela became the first foreign country to buy Antey-2500 systems, which were also offered to Iran.

Way to go Egypt. The Egyptian land forces and navy is top notch. The airforces are not equally powerful and advanced though (Yet, until the french Rafale jets are operated). With these Russian air defence systems the Egyptian sky is much more secure.
