MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Syria, Iraq, Sudan and
Egypt are among the potential buyers of Russia’s S-400 air defense missile
systems, Russian upper house’s Defense and Security Committee Chairman Viktor
Bondarev told Sputnik.
“Potential buyers include Syria, Iraq, Sudan,
Egypt. Everyone who experiences a threat to own security posed
by terrorist groups and NATO member states,” the senior lawmaker said.
He went on to note that Turkey, a NATO member,
"preferred to jeopardize its relations with the NATO
leadership," giving priority the purchase of the Russian S-400 air
defense systems.
Bondarev expressed the belief that many countries
in the Middle
East and North Africa would seek to purchase "these
ultramodern air defense systems." He also noted that the demand for
the defense systems will grow in the countries around the world.
Moscow and Ankara have reached an agreement on the
delivery of S-400 systems to Turkey and signed a contract
in September. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has also said that
Ankara made the first payment for the C-400 complexes.
The S-400 "Triumph" is an anti-aircraft weapon
system that is designed for highly effective destruction of strategic
and tactical aircraft, ballistic missiles, hypersonic targets and other means
of aerial attack in conditions of electronic and other types
of counteraction.
