Russia is ready to develop with Turkey long range air defense missile system similar to S-300.
Russia is ready to develop jointly with Turkey a long-range air defense complex based on S-300 surface-to-air missile systems, state arms seller Rosoboronexport head Sergei Ladygin said on Sunday, May 19, 2013. Turkey launched a tender for the purchase of long-range air defense systems long ago but no winner has been announced to this day.

“Russia is ready to offer as part of the tender a joint Russian-Turkish product based on the Antey-2500 system. For example, to mount the air defense system on the Turkish chassis,” Ladygin said at the weapons exhibition in the Peruvian capital of Lima.

Rosoboronexport has also proposed that Russia and Turkey join efforts to promote this air defense system on the markets of third countries, he said.

“That is, it is possible to discuss selling the license for the production of this system in other countries of the world,” he said.

The advanced version of the S-300 missile system, called S-300PMU1, has a range of over 150 kilometers (over 100 miles) and can intercept ballistic missiles and aircraft at low and high altitudes, making it effective in warding off air strikes.

The S-300VM/Antey 2500 (SA-23 Gladiator/Giant) consists of a new command vehicle, an array of advanced radars and up to six launcher/loader vehicles assigned to each launcher.
