Sputnik - Russia has entirely fulfilled the contract on delivering the S-300 air defense system to Iran in 2016, according to the head of Rostec Corporation Sergey Chemezov.


Chemezov confirmed this during�a meeting with�Russian President Vladimir Putin in�the Kremlin.


One of�the most complicated deals in�recent years between�Iran and Russia has thus been successfully accomplished.
Russian S-300 systems are now part of�the Iranian air defense.

Shoeib Bahman, an Iranian political analyst looked at�how Iran and Russia will continue their military-technical cooperation in�the future and what other projects the two countries are ready to�discuss with�each other.
�The implementation of�the contract for�the delivery of�the S-300 air defense system was complicated however, after�the problems were solved, the contract was successfully fulfilled. This created a favorable ground for�expanding and developing new directions of�military-technical cooperation between�Iran and Russia, taking into�account the fact that our countries have common goals and interests in�regional and international politics,� Bahman said.


He further said that given the level of�confidence that Iran shows to�Russia, it is possible to�forecast the implementation of new projects between�the two countries along�military terms.
�In the past�six months, there have been active ongoing negotiations regarding Iran's purchase of�other weapons from�Russia, such as�the Su-30 multipurpose fighter, as�well as�the modern T-90 tanks,� Bahman said.


According to�him there is a constant exchange of�delegations and negotiations being held with�the producer companies.
�In Iran, there is a great interest in�continuing collaboration with�Russia in�military-technical terms and purchasing of�more weapons,� the analyst concluded.


Earlier last week, Iranian Ambassador to�Russia Mehdi Sanaei said that the deliveries of�Russia's S-300 missile systems to�Iran reflect the trust level in�the countries' bilateral defense cooperation.

Sanaei said at�a reception marking Iran's national Army Day that the 2015 signing of�a military cooperation agreement "determined the scope of�this cooperation."
"Since then, important steps have been taken to�strengthen bilateral relations in�the area of�defense. One such step was the delivery of�S-300 missile systems to�Iran. This is an indicator of�mutual trust in�defense cooperation," Sanaei said.
