🇷🇺🇮🇷⚡- Ali Motahari, Member of Majlis and former Parliament Deputy Speaker, blasted Moscow for refusing to provide Iran with the S-400 air defense system.

Motahari notes that Russia had sold the system to Turkey and Saudi Arabia, but not Tehran

Note, Iran had also placed an order for two dozen Su-35s almost half a decade ago, which have likely not yet been delivered either. Russia had prepared Su-35s after a cancelled purchase-order by Egypt, which were instead transported to Algeria, even though the North African country had not requested the jets. The deal was as part of a 'goodwill gesture' by Moscow, Algeria would use the Su-35s temporarily, while it waited on the Su-57s it requested.

The purchase of the S-400 by Saudi Arabia is unconfirmed, while Russia was ready to sell, Saudi officials have shown 'no interest'.

It’s the boldest ekranoplan project in many decades.
