"Iran to buy seven bln dlrs in Russia arms: analyst

Iran - Thursday 04 October 2001 - IranMania.com

MOSCOW, Oct 4 (AFP) - A new military cooperation deal between Moscow and Tehran could be worth around seven billion dollars in Russian arms exports, a military analyst close to the negotiations said Thursday.

The agreement sealed Tuesday by visiting Iranian Defense Minister Ali Shamkhani includes the purchase of Inconder long-range supersonic missiles and Yakhont anti-ship missiles, said Razhbjab Safarov, director of the Center for Coordination between Russia and Iran.

Other deals include the purchase of Su-27 and Su-30 fighter jets, as well as K-50 and K-52 military helicopters.

Iran will also buy T-90 and T-82K tanks.

The Russian defense ministry declined to comment on the claims made by Safarov, who is also an advisor to Russia's State Duma lower house of parliament. "
