MOSCOW, (SANA - Syrian news agency) – A Russian military source said Syria
received a batch of anti-aircraft missiles and Panzer-C1 air defense systems
at the beginning of the current year.

The source said that the air defense systems were delivered in accordance
with signed contracts between the two countries, pointing out that these
systems were shipped to Syria by sea.

Anatoly Isaykin, Director of the Russian Rosoboronexport Firm, stressed that
technical military cooperation with Syria is progressing under international
law, indicating that his country exported air defense systems to Syria
according to signed contracts.

Panzer-C1 air defense systems are highly accurate that could target all
current and future air attack means available at an altitude of 20
kilometers high.

The speed of each missile is 1300 meters per second, as the system allows
striking four targets at once. It also could hit land and marine targets,
and is to direct its fire from mobile and fixed sites.
