Uskowi i have a question for you!
THis top is argued about soooooo much on irandefence.net....i really would like to have an informed opinion like yours voice in on this.
Does Iran have Russian s-300s in the country right now???? What about operational s-300s?
Kemjika,
No, I have seen no indications that Iran has any Russian S-300s. There are indeed students of Iranian military who believe Iran received the system late last year, but I am not convinced. No indications as of yet.
