Officials quoted in Iran’s Fars News Agency say that the Iranian government has obtained four batteries of S-300 air defense missiles, the backbone of Russia’s air defense, despite Russia’s refusal to deliver them.
Russia had signed a promise to sell the missiles to Iran in 2007, but delayed the delivery for years before declaring in June that the S-300 sale was banned under the most recent UN Security Council sanctions.
With Russian delivery apparently no longer an option, Iran is said to have obtained the systems from Belarus and another as yet unidentified source.
The S-300 systems are entirely defensive, providing the ability to shoot down attacking aircraft and missiles. Israel and the United States had opposed the delivery primarily on the grounds that it would make threats to attack Iran less credible and the actual attacks far more difficult.

Every nation has the right to defend there men women and children from nuclear aggressive empires. Like the Jewish-led-US-UK-UN-EU empire.
The S-300 is only good for defense of city’s.
So is the S-400, which is the one I think Russian should sell to such an oppressed people group.
Just because they do not think, act, talk, oppress like our “once free and once great” America does, which has been turned into a mirror of the evil UK now we are called US-Empire.
They want to wipe these real democratic people of Iran out!
It is the UN-UK-US-Israel-NATO-EU-AU who are not the real democracy’s.
Free humanity!
Everyone has the right to kick foreign/racist/invaders out of there lands.
Now that is Freedom!!!

It is fairly obvious what “freedom and democracy” has meant to the once secular state of Iraq: more than 1 million dead, 4 million refugees in neighboring countries, occupation, anarchy and corruption, DU pollution, plus Islamic extremists. No surprise that Iran tries to defend itself and of course, with material from the “free market” :-D Illustration:
