S-300 missile systems will not happen anytime soon. Tass quoted a Russian
Foreign Ministry official as saying, “Supplying Iran with Russian S-300 missile
defense systems is not a matter of the nearest future.” (The Moscow Times,

It is clear even without explanation. The old S-300PMU1 for Iran were dismantled. Even if for Iran is supposed to send a non-export C-300PM1\PM2 from inventory of the Russian army, it will require at least a few months for upgrade and modifications to integration in the Iranian air defense system. If Iran has agreed to receive the new S-300VM "Antey-2500", then it may require 1-1.5 years for the production and testing of these systems.
Once an unreliable Russian, always an unreliable Russian.
only fools believed that Putin was doing more than spewing a threat against those complaining about his theft of Crimea.
Russia isn't going to ship missiles to iran as long as the Security Council prohibition remains in place.
