ABU DHABI, February 23. /TASS/.
Russia has offered Iran its latest
Antey-2500 anti-ballistic missiles to
replace less powerful S-300 anti-
aircraft missile systems, the head of
Russian state conglo
merate Rostec said
on Monday, adding that Tehran was
now considering the offer.
Speaking at an international arms show
in Abu Dhabi, capital of the United
Arab Emirates,
Sergey Chemezov noted that conflicts
in the Middle East had helped boost
Russian arms sales.
"I don't conceal it, and everyone
understands this, the more conflicts
there are, the more they buy off
weapons from us. Volumes are
continuing to grow despite sanctions.
Mainly, it's Latin America and the
Middle East," Chemezov told
journalists.
"As far as Iran is concerned, we have
offered Antey-2500 instead of S-300.
They are thinking. No decision has
been made yet," he added.
