Russia is ready to participate in a tender to offer Turkey S-300
and S-400 surface-to-air missile systems, the state-controlled arms
exporter said on Wednesday.
"The Turkish military has a great need for S-300 and S-400 long-range
missile defense systems," Rosoboronexport CEO Anatoly Isaikin said.
"Russia has expressed readiness to participate in a tender for the
delivery of such systems."
He said leading SAM manufacturers from Western countries would
participate in the tender "on a par with Russia." He gave no indication
as to what specific SAM modifications would be offered or the timeframe
for the tender.
Turkish military experts have said Ankara is interested in the Russian
missiles, which could effectively protect the country's southern
borders, RIA Novosti reported.
