“The first delivery of the S-400 air-defense systems is planned to be accomplished in 2019,” the defense minister said.

“Once these systems are received, our country will have secured an important air defense capability. This solution aimed at meeting an urgent need will not hinder our commitment to developing our own systems,” he said.
