Russia Will Fulfill Anti-Air Missile Defense System Contract With Syria
Says Russian foreign minister
MOSCOW – Russia says it will honor its controversial contract to deliver S-300 air defense missile systems to Syria.
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with Russian state TV Thursday that "we respect all our contracts and are honoring all our contractual obligations
"As yet, the contracts are not finished, they have not been delivered in full," he added.
Russia last month acknowledged it has agreed to sell Syria advanced S-300 air-defense missiles, which are considered to be the cutting edge in aircraft interception technology.
