Iran’s Defense Ministry said the country will produce its own advanced anti-aircraft missile system similar to THE S-300 which Russia decided not to supply in compliance with international sanctions.
“We have planned to build a long-range air defense missile system similar to S-300,” Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi was quoted as saying by the state-run Mehr news agency in a report published on its website late yesterday. “By God’s grace and with Iranian engineers’ efforts, we will reach self-sufficiency.”
