RUSSIA to sell Iran (more or less) advanced air defense system

but Iran wants a later model, not Antey Antiques from the 80's:
Russia Offers Iran New Replacement for S-300 – Paper | World | RIA Novosti
Iran rejects Russia's offer for substituting S-300 with "Antey-2500" - minister - Trend.Az
Iran has rejected Russia's proposal to supply the Islamic Republic with S-300VM "Antey-2500" anti-ballistic missile system, instead of the promised S-300 system, IRINN Tv channel reported live on Dec. 11, quoting Iran's foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.

A contract inked in 2007 requires Russia to provide Iran with at least five S-300 missile defense systems, according to Press TV. However, Moscow refrained from meeting its obligations under the pretext that they were covered by the fourth round of the UN Security Council resolutions against Iran. In September 2010, then Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree banning the delivery of the S-300 systems to the Islamic Republic.

Russia's refusal to deliver the systems under the contract prompted Iran to file a complaint with the International Court of Arbitration in Geneva against the Russian arms firm Rosoboronexport.

Russian air defense systems continue to evolve | Asian Defence News Articles | Defence Review Asia
By establishing the Almaz-Antey Concern of Air Defense as a 100% government-owned structure in 2002, President Putin put an end of the post-Soviet practice of "unhealthy competition" between dozens of independent OEMs specialized in air defense systems and their components. With nearly fifty enterprises on the list, this merger has a workforce of nearly a hundred thousand people and yearly revenues of Rouble 130 billion – more than US $4 billion - in 2010 and 2011. Order backlog information and exact financial figures are not made public on secrecy grounds.

There are two families of long range SAM available today: the S300P/S400 developed by Almaz and the S300V by NIEMI. The S300P employs 5V55 command link missiles; its mobile variant the S300PS became operational in 1983. Among innovations there were microchip-based multiprocessor computing and a high level of automation - stretching from detection to firing and kill probability analysis. The multifunctional engagement radar has a passive electronically scanned phased array (PESA). Missiles run on solid-fuel instead of liquid used on previous generation systems and they are stored in sealed canisters. Vertical launch, cold start technology gives improved performance against aerodynamic targets as well as short-range ballistic missiles.

The S300V (9K81) employing 9M82/83 missiles became operational in 1988. It was developed by the Scientific Research Institute of Electrical Mechanics (NIEMI). The system has the 9S15 Obzor mobile acquisition and 9S32 high-power agile-beam engagement radar both equipped with PESA antenna. The 9S52M Polyana-D4M automated command and control system is designed to provide automated control for a mixed grouping of S300V, Buk, Tor and Tunguska. The system also has vehicles with equipment to provide interface with 1L13, 9S18M1, 9S15M and 39N6S radars.

Almaz Antey(google translation) Export deliveries of S-400 will begin after 2016

Export deliveries of Russian air defense missile systems S-400 will begin after 2016. In an interview with the newspaper "Kommersant" said General Director of "Rosoboronexport" Anatoly Isaykin. According to him, by 2016 the supply of such systems will be carried out only in the Russian Armed Forces. In the meantime, "Rosoboronexport" asks foreign customers wait-400 with accommodation requests.

 

"Two years ago we negotiated with several countries for the purchase of S-400, but we had to put them off. Agreements, if the talks were in 2011, and asked to be transferred to 2016, not every country agrees to wait so long », ─ Isaykin said, adding that in the next two years," Rosoboronexport "" understand the intentions "of the countries interested in buying C -400 and know exactly how much time they can wait supply systems.

 

Hitherto active interest in buying air defense systems S-400 has been shown by China. Earlier it was reported that the system can not be sold to them until 2017. By this time, the Russian industry intends to develop an export version of the complex. In an interview with "Kommersant" Isaykin noted that we can not say that after 2016, China will become the starting foreign customer systems S-400.

First export versions of the C-400 can receive Belarus and Kazakhstan. These States technique can be put in the framework of agreements on the formation of a unified regional air defense zones.

Almaz-Antey 40R6 / S-400 Triumf / SA-21 SAM System / Самоходный Зенитный Ракетный Комплекс 40Р6 / С-400 'Триумф'

The Almaz S-400 Triumf or SA-21 system is the most recent evolution of the S-300P family of SAM systems, initially trialled in 1999. The label S-400 is essentially marketing, since the system was previously reported under the speculative label of S-300PMU3. At least one report claims that funding for the development of the Triumf was provided in part by the PLA. The principal distinctions between the S-400 and its predecessor lie in further refinements to the radars and software, and the addition of four new missile types in addition to the legacy 48N6E/48N6E2 used in the S-300PMU2 Favorit.
