Russia is planning to install two modern anti-missile defense systems on its border with North Korea, an employee of the Russian Defense Ministry says.

Russia has expressed “concern” since a row erupted between North and South Korea after the latter blamed the North of torpedoing its warship near the two countries’ disputed maritime border in the Yellow Sea in March. Forty-six sailors were killed. Pyongyang has denied any involvement.

Russia is also uneasy about North Korean missile tests, noting that the test site is “alarmingly close” to the Russian border, Itar-Tass reported on Tuesday.

It said that the army will station two modern systems of the S-400 near the border, Itar-Tass quoted an employee of the Russian Defense Ministry as saying.

The S-400 system is intended to engage current and future air threats such as tactical and strategic aircraft, Tomahawk cruise missiles and other type missiles, including precision-guided ones, as well as AWACS aircraft, at ranges of up to 400 km.

It can also detect stealth aircraft and other targets at all altitudes of their combat employment and at maximum ranges.

  1. Jewish puppets – Medveputys already tarnished Russia. Under U.S. pressure, refused to sell these missiles to Iran.
    Now they will put China!
    The Chinese have bought a couple of plants in Russia, copied everything to a single screw, and sell themselves. The Chinese technique is worse, but it is cheaper.
    The loss of Russia, without any penalties for the failure of delivery, 1 billion 200 million euros.

  2. Wow, in the best interest of peace, since this a purely a defense weapon against attacks and invasions.
    Russia, you should sell or give two of these remarkable peace keeping systems to Iran in an effort to protect civilians and democracy from a global-imperial threat which has already enslaved me.
    I am an American Patriot who morally stands against the US-Dictatorship.

    Christ is my only boss, I ask please work out a deal, it will only be supplying Iran with a defensive weapon, it will help bring stability to the world.
