TEHRAN: Iran will receive the bulk of the S-300 air defence missile systems it ordered from Russia by the end of the year, Tehran’s defence minister has said.
"We signed a contract with Russia. It is being done. We will acquire a large portion of the systems by the end of this year," Hossein Dehghan told state television late on Tuesday.
He said Iranian troops were being trained in Russia to operate the surface-to-air missile systems.
