Russia ready to develop long-range air defense system with Turkey
17:14 - 19.05.13
Russia is ready to develop jointly with Turkey a long-range air
defense complex based on S-300 surface-to-air missile systems, state
arms seller Rosoboronexport head Sergei Ladygin said on Sunday.
Turkey launched a tender for the purchase of long-range air defense
systems long ago but no winner has been announced to this day, RIA
Novosti reports.
`Russia is ready to offer as part of the tender a joint
Russian-Turkish product based on the Antey-2500 system [the export
version of the S-300 system]. For example, to mount the air defense
system on the Turkish chassis,' Ladygin said at the weapons exhibition
in the Peruvian capital of Lima.
Rosoboronexport has also proposed that Russia and Turkey join efforts
to promote this air defense system on the markets of third countries,
he said.
`That is, it is possible to discuss selling the license for the
production of this system in other countries of the world,' he said.
The advanced version of the S-300 missile system, called S-300PMU1,
has a range of over 150 kilometers (over 100 miles) and can intercept
ballistic missiles and aircraft at low and high altitudes, making it
effective in warding off air strikes.
