Russian Federation to ink contact with Iran to supply SU-30SM fighter jets

“The last stages will be discussed of delivering Iran the S-300 complex, the first part of which should arrive before the end of next month, and the second by the end of June”.

The Iranian regime’s defense minister who had been involved in hostage taking and terrorism is visiting Moscow for talks about closer military cooperation. “At some point, Tehran used to assemble Soviet (Russian) tanks T-72 and BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles”, reminded the source.

A Russian air defense missile system Antey 2500, or S-300 VM, is on display at the opening of the MAKS Air Show in Zhukovsky outside Moscow, August 27, 2013.

Tehran, according to the Kommersant, could also ask Moscow’s help in repairing Iran’s fleet of the Mikoyan MiG-29s, Sukhoi Su-24MKs and submarines.

It was also announced that Russian Federation will sign a contract to sell Sukhoi Su-30 and Su-30SM warplanes to Iran.

The deal was finally back on track in April past year after Iran and the six world powers decided on a comprehensive nuclear agreement that made a decision to lift the sanctions against Iran if it promises to use its nuclear capabilities only for peaceful purposes, Sputnik News reported.

First of all, Iran is interested in Russia’s assistance in creating an integrated echelon air-defense system comprising short-, medium- and long-range components.

Iran is seeking to buy from Moscow at least 100 short-haul super jets, according to the president of Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation.

There are no formal restrictions on deliveries of airplanes to Iran, he noted. Moscow and Tehran avidly cooperated in the military-technical field after the Iranian revolution and until the introduction of anti-Iranian sanctions.

“Secretary of State John Kerry frontloaded Iran’s payday for all the wrong reasons”, Rubin said.

Rubin said he expects Iran to also pursue weapons and arms deals with China in the near future.
