The director of the Russian manufacturer of the system (Igor Ashurbeili) told reporters Friday that his firm has delivered 15 units of the S-300. According to Russian media, one unit of the S-300 typically consists of four truck-mounted installations, each containing four missiles.Iran also has a contract to buy the surface-to-air missile system from Russia, but the exchange repeatedly has been postponed.
Russia blames technical problems for the delays, while Iranian officials suspect pressure from the United States and Israel. The two countries have strongly objected to the sale of the missiles, which potentially could be used to thwart air attacks against Iranian nuclear sites.
