The S-300 air defense system and dozens of additional hardware pieces have been delivered to the Syrian military to boost security of Russian personnel there, Russian Defense Minister, Sergey Shoigu, told President Vladimir Putin.

“We have completed the delivery of the S-300 system,” Shoigu said Tuesday. The hardware supplied to Syria consisted of 49 pieces of military equipment, including radars, control vehicles and four launchers, he added.

@PaulaSlier_RT BREAKING: #Russian Defence Minister, Sergey #Shoygu, has now announced that a series of #S300 #defence systems have arrived in #Syria.

It was announced 2 weeks ago that the system would be deployed following an #Israeli #airstrike in #Latakia which downed a #RussianPlane.

A unified air defense control system in Syria will be completed by October 20, Shoigu told the Security Council. Russia will “prepare and train” the Syrian crews to operate the S-300 within three months.
