Analysis of Russia's new proposal to Iran regarding the supply of C-300 ("Iras", Iran)

Recently, information appeared about a new Russian proposal for selling Iran the C-300 anti-aircraft complex. According to the information agency RIA-NewsMoscow suggested that Tehran refuse to consider its complaint in the International Court of Justice and in return receive a similar complex from the C-300 family, namely C-300ВМ, known as Antey-2500, or according to NATO classification SA-23 Gladiator.

In 2007, Iran ordered six units of the export version of the C-300PMU-1 (SA-20 Gargoyle, according to NATO classification) mobile multi-channel anti-aircraft missile system from Russia for the sum of 900 million dollars from Russia. This kind of complex is an improved modification of the C-300P, passing according to the NATO classification as Sa-10 Grumble. Presumably, negotiations on the subject of concluding a contract were conducted for several years and were not given publicity. In 2007, Iran fully paid Russia the entire agreed amount. Nevertheless, the Russian side increasingly delayed the delivery of the complex, until finally, after the adoption in the UN Security Council of resolution number 1929, which banned the sale weapons Iran, President Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree imposing an embargo on deliveries of Russian weapons to this country and, in particular, the C-300 missile system. Following this, Iran decided to appeal against such actions and said that Russia should either deliver the ordered complex, or return the amount paid for it, and also cover the penny for delay in delivery, penalty for cancellation of the contract and damage caused to the Iranian side. According to available information, Iran has demanded compensation from Russia totaling four billion dollars. Apparently, Moscow took seriously the claims of Tehran and entered into negotiations with him to persuade them to abandon their complaints and demands for compensation.

The first step for Russia was an indication of the political consequences of this conflict and the possibility of ending its support in opposing the Islamic Republic with the United States. However, this strategy did not justify itself, because so far Russia has in fact not given Iran any political or diplomatic support. This country does use its veto in the UN Security Council, not allowing the adoption of a resolution against Syria, but it refrains from such measures against Iran when it comes to imposing new sanctions. The Iranian authorities are well aware that Russia has neither the will, nor the ability, nor the goal to resist the hostile actions of the West against the Islamic Republic.


Long-range anti-aircraft missile systems C-300В and С-300ВМ (left)


The second step for Russia was the proposal to Iran to purchase alternative defense complexes from it. This country offered for sale an even greater number of Th-M1 anti-aircraft missile systems. This system, designed to launch medium-range or short-range missiles, is much less effective than the C-300, and is not capable of hitting targets at high altitude. It can only be used to defeat cruise missiles and aircraft at medium range. In addition, Iran has already received a sufficient number of similar systems in the 2006 year. Obviously, Russia also offered for sale a more improved version of this complex, that is, Tor-М2, however, it didn’t really interest the Iranian side either, because of its power and this model is inferior to C-300.

The final proposal of Russia was the delivery of Iran C-300ВМ. The United States immediately protested, but they did it in a softer form, stressing that if the deal was concluded, the Russian government itself would be responsible for a possible violation of Resolution No. 1929. Probably, this position of the United States means their indirect consent to the fact that Iran took its lawsuit against Russia and did not require it to return the amount paid and other compensation. However, Iran itself was cool to accept such a proposal. Ambassador of the Islamic Republic in Russia, Mahmoud Reza Sajjad, expressed his disagreement with replacing C-300PMU-1 with C-300ВМ. Analysis of the technical characteristics of these two modifications of the C-300 complex makes it possible to understand why Russia and the United States agreed to supply C-300ВМ to Iran and why he is protesting against this replacement.

Differences between C-300PMU-1 and C-300BM

In the C-300 family of anti-aircraft missile systems, these two modifications are upgraded versions of the two original complexes. They were used as early as 1978 under the name C-300PT and were classified as SA-10 Grumble by NATO classification. Following the revolutionary development of electronic weapons technology and the emergence of anti-radar missiles in the United States, Israel and several other Western countries, such as France and the United Kingdom, Russia had to seriously modify its own air defense systems. The ineffectiveness of the Libyan anti-aircraft systems in the US confrontation in 1980, the lightning destruction of the Syrian air defense in the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon during the First Lebanese War in 1982 and, most importantly, neutralizing Iraq’s air defense systems in 1991, meant one thing for Russians: only the beginning of the technical revolution may give a chance for the preservation of such complexes in future military conflicts. New for Russian air defense systems has been an increase in missile range, greater mobility and movement of ground complexes, maximum reduction in installation time, target detection and salvo, the use of missiles with a homing system, increased resistance to attacks of computer viruses, as well as the use of invisible radars and an increase in the power of existing .

According to some estimates by military experts, the S-300PMU-1 anti-aircraft missile system, known by NATO classification as SA-20 Gargoyle, can simultaneously track 100 objects from different directions and simultaneously fire at 12 targets. Its deployment time is only five minutes, which is a significant advantage over the American Patriot complex, which takes hours to install. According to some sources, the radars of the Russian air defense system are capable of detecting objects the size of a tennis ball at a height of one meter to 30 kilometers above ground level. The sources are silent about the exact range of the tracking radars (apparently for the purpose of secrecy), however, the missiles of the complex of this modification are capable of hitting objects at a distance of 195 kilometers. This means that their range, given their incredible speed of 1700 meters per second (five times the speed of sound!), is 120 kilometers more than that of ultra-fast fighter aircraft. For this reason, it will be very difficult to disable this complex with the help of anti-radar missiles. Russia developed this modification of the S-300 to repel bomber strikes, although it can also be used effectively against drones and cruise missiles.


Top-M1 anti-aircraft missile system


To reflect the impact of cruise and ballistic missiles, Russia first developed a model of the same series called “Antey-300”, passing according to NATO classification as the SA-12 Giant. Antey-2500 (SA-23 Gladiator) became its more advanced version. This complex, designed to reflect the attacks of cruise and ballistic missiles, although it can be used against fighters and bombers, was not designed for these purposes. Another question concerns the range of missiles fired at these complexes. “Antey-300” and “Antey-2500” are capable of launching missiles at a distance of 100 and 200, respectively, kilometers. By the way, it was the latest version of the complex that was recently sold to Venezuela. Russia itself has in its arsenal an even more advanced analogue with a range of 300 kilometers. In a word, “Antey-2500” is much inferior in power and other parameters to C-XNUMPPMU-300 and in no way can serve as its replacement.

Iran’s needs and the future of the C-300 supply agreement

Taking into account Iran’s defense needs, it can be concluded that by offering the C-300BM missile system (aka Antey-2500) for sale, Russia is trying to seriously deceive Iran. The Russian government is being forced to do this with the possible consequences of Iran’s claim to the International Court of Justice. The United States understands perfectly well that C-300ВМ is much less dangerous than C-300PMU-1, and therefore reluctantly would agree with its delivery to Iran. The most serious threat to Iran is an air attack from heavy fighters and bombers. To reflect this danger (be it from the United States or Israel), C-300PMU-1 is best suited. As for the threat from cruise missiles, given their small warhead (from 700 to 1000 kilograms), for Iran’s underground nuclear facilities they pose much less danger. In addition, according to some military sources, using a large number of systems that interfere with the operation of satellites, Iran could disrupt the control systems of these missiles. Airplanes such as the F-22, F-15 and F-16, as well as the B-1, B-2 and B-52 bombers pose the greatest danger to Iran. The C-300PMU-1 complex, of course, is not without flaw. According to some military experts, stealth planes, for example, the F-22, F-35 and B-2 can fly unnoticed through the radar network of the most advanced modifications of the C-300. However, this complex is extremely effective against airplanes, which are fixed by radars. This is especially true of Israel, which currently does not have stealth planes and is very concerned about the possibility of supplying Iran with a powerful missile system. If fighters and bombers, invisible by radars, such as the F-22, fly with an external suspension, which will be placed weapons or fuel, they will immediately be noticed and attacked. Iran’s powerful C-300PMU-1 with a wide radar tracking zone and long-range missiles will also make aircraft tankers extremely dangerous flying near its airspace. Powerful ammunition designed to attack Iran’s underground nuclear facilities can only be delivered by B-2 bombers. In the event that B-2 alone will fly Iran to bomb and will still be seen by the radars of the complex, Iranian fighters will be raised into the air and thus the enemy will fall into the trap. It is for this reason that obtaining the C-300PMU-1 complex is a strategic task for Iran, and the prevention of this is very significant for the United States and Israel.

    I think the Iranians will not "put goodbye" ... drinks , and withdraw their claim!
    There were no Israeli raids and other striped "dishonesty", and Antey-2500 is an excellent replacement ... for the failed version of the S-300!

        There is no need to listen to Israel and the states, you need to take and with a strong-willed decision to deliver s-300 to Syria and Iran. Did Israel consult with us before bombing Syria? Did the states consult a lot before delivering weapons to Syria and supplying Israel with nuclear weapons? So why should we coordinate our actions with them?

        1. Do inflatable radars come with the C300? Or is there also a camouflage regiment in the load?
        2. Will attack f22 go without an electronic warfare aircraft?
        3. Does Iran have a "shell"?
        4. Does the training of calculations last several months, or is it all plug end play?
        At one time, the USSR supplied Egypt with the most advanced air defense equipment, as a result, the P19 radar ended up in Israel, and until the Soviet air defense division was there, there was little sense from the advanced equipment. hi

      As for reliability, you got excited. No, China will supply the complexes, but in terms of the reliability of these complexes ...
      The Persians want our systems, not the Chinese. But one thing to remember. Iran is not our ally. This is just the enemy of our enemy. At the same time, it is one of the world Islamic centers. This is a theocratic state. And the ayatollah, that is, the leader of this state, as he called us the little devil. And although it was a long time ago, but this definition still applies to us.
      So, the supply of strategic weapons to Iran, and C-300 can be attributed to strategic systems, in my opinion, is at least a controversial decision. But to help the enemy of our enemy is necessary. Here is the country's leadership and scratches their forehead.

      Well, as for the Chinese MLRS and other things, then all the questions for the hunchback. It was he who signed the agreement with China on the withdrawal of troops from the border at 100 km. As a result, the entire fortified area in the Far East was poher. Because, he walked along the trans -IBE, and there was simply nowhere to take away the units stationed there. Taiga. There is no infrastructure. Because they just dismissed. Nowadays, they are doing something to strengthen the defense of the Far East, but without canceling the treaty, nothing can be fixed. And not the Chinese MLRS is to blame.

    It is necessary to negotiate with Iran, reputation is more expensive. The Iranians understand that air defense is their weak point. Fucking "Tomahawks" will then fly to bomb. The S-300 are badly needed.

    F117 in Yugoslavia was shot down by a c75 development complex from the 50-60s, so the myth of the invisibility of f22 and f 35 is greatly exaggerated, it’s just a marketing move to attract investment in this project, because without the additional contracts for these cars, the USA will not be pulled this program alone. Well, Iran needed to sell the c300 in the version that was in the contract, such a deflection before the sanctions greatly undermines the authority of the Russian Federation in the person of its eastern partners.

      I read the memoirs of a Yugoslav officer, it turns out shot down F-117 was S-125.

        It was c75 that was shot down, but c125 was also in service with Yugoslavia, they were covering Belgrade just that this officer wrote a question, but the NATO acknowledged the loss of this aircraft from c75. It was after this that a huge scandal erupted between the countries participating in this project, which subsequently led to the rejection of this aircraft and the breaking of previously concluded agreements on it, the aircraft also did not go into mass production following the war, the situation is the same as at the moment a raptor, the Americans are afraid to use it, because if it gets knocked down, for example, by the Iranian 7, the Syrian air force will put an end to the sponsorship of the program by NATO allies.

    In some moments, we are trying to maintain a face, a reputation where we should not make excuses, although we are completely right, and at this point, although I honestly admit, I do not fully understand what this is about (i.e. technical nuances in the performance characteristics of these complexes), but if signed an agreement, it must be fulfilled! Otherwise, the image will not be restored.

    Persians for the next 15-20 years are more likely to be our ally than enemy, we undertook to supply, then we need to supply, there are probably lozenges, as the USSR managed to put on all conventions and agreements that were to the detriment of the interests of the USSR.

    Generally strange somehow. I remember the article on VO when I first wrote about the proposal to Iran Anteev, and then it was stated in the article, and many forum users wrote that this is a more efficient system than the C300 PMU, that it is a military, more mobile, with a more advanced radar, etc. .d. I am not a specialist in this topic, but I just would like to understand, where is the truth? It is against the planes that Antey-2500 is really less effective, or is it all the author’s speculations, or has the situation changed again?
    In general, I allow myself to express an opinion - in my life I will not believe that negotiations of this kind can be carried out through the press and television, and not directly through the governments of the two countries or the ministry of defense. It seems there is again another multi-act performance ...

    I think the S-300, etc., has already become some kind of a bargaining chip (there are no powerful weapons ..) like they bought and the whole sky over the country is protected .. and everyone is afraid of them .. The S-300 works effectively if not with Russia " partners "to be allies in the full sense of the word .. Then our air defense will actually cover the skies of those countries who have acquired this system !! ..

    In 2007, Iran paid the entire agreed amount to Russia.

    If the money is received, then the goods must be delivered. Otherwise, double damage to ourselves. Throwing is bad. Anywhere in the galaxy.

    During New Year's Holidays, Putin visited a boarding school for children with developmental delays. After the matinee, the round dance, and the distribution of gifts, VV said goodbye to the children and sits down in his yellow Lada-Kalina. A boy runs up to him. The little body is small, slender, the big head dangles from side to side and asks:
    - Uncle Vova let me steer
    - Not! - Putin firmly answers.
    - Oh please! - the boy buzzes.
    - Well, went to x ... from here! Putin shouts.
    Sweet looks in surprise, the guard tensed ask:
    - V.V. what happened? Why are you doing this like that?
    Putin:
    - I already gave one to such a taxi ... four years ago!

    who else should we? who else will teach us? it is clear that the bear acted badly after listening to "friends" from the west, but to put pressure on Russia ... the pressure did not grow. but according to the court, so we also have defendants-lawyers have become adept at fiddling. and for our country a lard of greenery (I think no one is seriously considering four), although the amount is not very large.

    Good evening dear "andrei332809"! Opinions may vary regarding the total cost of 4mlrd USD.
    But how much will it cost LOSS of Russia's reputation fool as a serious and executive PARTNER, especially if the advance payments are 100% (2007) - Iran has not been returned?
    In addition to ideological closeness or difference, momentary gain, "wagging the tail" of the "manager LADIES" before the Council of Deputies, our Russia was simply "omitted" in the matter of PERMISSION or BANNING of arms sales in Washington. sad
    Remember when the USSR continued or curtailed the sale of weapons under the Signed Agreement and the money received ?, and even fulfilling the wish of the United States. good

    The Iranian authorities are well aware that Russia has neither the will, nor the ability, nor the goal to oppose the hostile actions of the West directed against the Islamic Republic.

    wow, reality !!! All this window dressing with "butting" with the West, with our souvenir sovereignty - this is for internal use, for not particularly thinking superpatriotic members of the forum! The technology is a trap, from the United States, they have been practicing it for decades on their electorate. But many, contrary to common sense, continue to believe the speeches and reports of the Kremlin, alas! "Most people are so used to it, they got used to the Matrix, that they will fight for it!" (Morphius, quote from the film of the same name).

    I completely agree! These are all the remaining problems of the reign of DAM. To him ...

    not so long ago the flock was at VO, about the 8.08 war., so Mishuko’s words were quoted there when he called the iPhone 09 to the Kremlin about the participation of our troops in the conflict, and the telephone simply picked up the GDP and told him that he talked about this topic only with him! For the uninformed, I remind you that in August 08, the iPhone was already a prezik. And nothing, GDP steered the topic, and was a prezik LADY! So there is no need to breed mold here, that like Vova is not "in business", did not know, did not know, and so on! I knew everything, I knew everything (I mean the S-300 and Iran), they decided everything, and you, naive, hope for him! lol

    Failure to supply the S-300 to Iran is pure wrecking on the part of GDP and DAM. This drops our reputation around the world, is fraught with a loss of $ 4 billion, and also unties the hands of our opponents in the Middle East. The UN Security Council resolution does not prohibit the supply of defensive weapons to Iran. In addition, an agreement on mutual military assistance from 1922 is in force between Iran and Russia, which has not yet been canceled. So missiles urgently need to be delivered to Iran.

We will deceive the Persians, then we will never wash ourselves off, especially since there are some pluses from deliveries: defense industry money, stability in the region, annoy the United States, Israel and allies, do not forget about the division of the Caspian!
