Russia plans to pay Iran about $800 million to compensate for its failure to deliver S-300 missile systems, the head of state-controlled conglomerate Russian Technologies, Sergei Chemezov, said on Thursday.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev outlawed the delivery of the high-precision missiles to Iran last month, saying that sending them would violate sanctions adopted by the U.N. Security Council in June.
