MOSCOW-(IDB) : Russia's
Air Force Commander in Chief Lieutenant General Viktor Bondarev arrived
in Iran for talks with Iranian military officials to expand cooperation
in missile systems, Press TV reported on Sunday, October 20, 2013.
During
his stay in Iran, the Russian commander will meet with the Commander of
Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Air Defense Base, Brigadier General Farzad Esmaili
and the Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Aerospace Division,
Brigadier General Amir- Ali Hajizadeh.
Bondarev
is making the four-day visit at the invitation of the commander of Iran
Air Force, Brigadier General Hassan Shahsaf.
Iran
and Russia signed a contract on the S-300
defense system in 2007. However, a UN resolution banned any
supply of conventional weapons to Iran, including missile systems, tanks
and warships, following which Russia canceled the S-300 shipment in September
2010.
Iran
has been suing Moscow in the International Court of Arbitration for backing
down on the contract, demanding 950 million U.S. dollars in compensation.
