S-300 missiles to be shipped to Iran within days: Russian official, DEBKAfile, April 5, 2016

Zamir Kabulov, a department head at Russia’s foreign ministry, said Tuesday that a shipment of S-300 antiaircraft missiles is about to be sent to Iran, saying “It won’t be tomorrow, but it will be in the next few days.” DEBKAfile’s military sources: The Russian official meant that the missiles will be loaded on a ship anchored in the Caspian Sea that will transport them to an Iranian port. The Russians had previously set a date for the transfer, and in one case the country’s defense minister had been scheduled to participate in a ceremony marking the occasion. But the ceremony and the transfer were cancelled at the last minute without any explanation.
