Russia to Deliver Modernized Version of S-300 Air Defense System to Iran

[Blue Marlin]

Russia will deliver to Tehran a modernized version of the S-300 air defense system that is currently being updated for the Iranian customers, Russian Presidential Aide Vladimir Kozhin said Thursday.


“It would be the S-300 system, which Iran specifically asked for. It has been a long time [since Russia and Iran signed the deal on S-300 systems delivery], the system has been partially upgraded, but certain elements are still being updated,” Kozhin told RIA Novosti.

In April, Russian President Vladimir Putin lifted the ban on S-300 deliveries to Iran under the 2007 contract, shortly after the P5+1 group of international negotiators and Iran reached a framework nuclear agreement.

iran doesn't even need russia or her s-300s anymore , not as long as they keep talking with the US , bombing the IS and when israel is too far away for its crappy f-16 and f-15 fleet to bomb any place in iran

it's better to be safe. and those f16's are a higher spec than the block 60 so thats a very advanced jet even the f15 are Israel specific. but they no match for the s300.

iran isn't iraq and we ain't living in the 80s , if israel decides to make a move against iran after her historical deal with the west , then indeed israel is **ed ; if you wanna stray safe then you can add to your missile armada and your retaliatory measures against israel , that's cheaper anyway , instead of buying overrated russian junk like the ss-500

i am very much aware iran is no iraq and can defend it self i never doubted you. what makes you think iran does not need the s300?

because we 're simply not antagonized much like we were back in the early 2000's , friend , i'm no decision maker in iran , but if they are indeed gonna buy s-300 they are gonna lose big money , with the price of one s-300 unit russia sells to iran , we can produce 500 ballistic missiles aimed at israel , combine that with good propaganda and there you got your deterrence ...

do you honestly believe theres going to be a war between iran and israel? no chance. the US congress would want it but after the iraq invasion thats near impossible . but now recently it is impossible legally any ways.

no i don't believe if israel's ever gonna take military action against iran , in fact israel's raid on osirak in the 80s was an emulation of an iranian airstrike deep into the iraqi territory earlier during the course of the war

but anyhow , today it remains as part of the iranian detterence to threaten israel with its missile armada in case of a war with the US and everyone knows that , i'm just stating the obvious , it is cheaper to produce offensive measures against israel than to procure s-300s from russia and wait for israel to attack , even if as a political gesture that's a very crappy one on the side of iran

It does need it because Iran has many long range airdefence project of its own. Such as bavar-373, Talash-3, sadid-630 (name of a missile). However, having a modern Russian system will do great until the Iranian systems are ready for mass production. Iran will be able to compare her own systems to the Russian one an there are other positive things to be gained. From what I heard, the Russians will give a very advanced and modernised version to Iran, not that much behind to the s-400.

Yeah you keep saying that whilst in the mean time Iran is eagerly to actually receive these system considering it didnt ask for a refund. None believes what you are saying "Iran doesnt need this Iran doesnt need that" bla bla lol. These Russian System are actualy incredibly matured contrary to Iranian Air Defence Systems which capabilites and origen are in question.

And by Modernized version i assume they ment the PMU-2.

First of all, these statements you make have already been dealt with. It will take a while for Iranian long range air defence system to be mass produced so in the mean time, Iran wants to use these Russian systems. They use them for other purposes as well, some of which I mentioned here.

The only ones who are questioning the "origin" of Iranian indigenous long range systems are bunch of turks who themselves cannot produce such long range system and have to beg the likes of Germany for their patriot missile.

Nobody questions Iranian missile and radar capability except your kind, and we all know the reason Go ahead and question the origin of this long range SAM, with range of more than 200km:

And this is just one example of the Iranian long range surface to air missile systems.
