MOSCOW — President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday that Russia hasn’t yet fulfilled a contract to send sophisticated S-300 air defense missile systems to Syria to avoid tilting the balance of power in the region.
Russian officials have acknowledged that Moscow signed a deal for the delivery of the powerful missiles a few years ago, but have been coy about whether any of them have been delivered.
The S-300 missile system has a range of up to 125 miles and the capability to track down and strike multiple targets simultaneously. Israel has threatened to attack the missiles if they are delivered.
