Defence Ministry Denies Reports Russian Missiles Sent to Iran Via Belarus

Text of report in English by corporate-owned Russian military news agency Interfax-AVN website

Minsk, 24 July: Russian S-300 anti-aircraft missiles have not been exported to Iran via Belarus, and the reports to that effect in some Belarusian media outlets citing the Jerusalem Post are "rubbish", Belarusian Defence Ministry spokesman Vyacheslav Remenchuk told Interfax on Thursday [24 July].

"It's no use to comment on this rubbish," he said.

He noted that a few days ago he made similar comments regarding a report in the Sudan Tribune about alleged exports of Russian fighters to Sudan via Belarus.
