The latest S-500 anti-aircraft missile system has begun arriving for Russian troops, Deputy Prime Minister Yury Borisov said during the government’s New Horizons educational marathon on Wednesday, reports TASS.
"Today the troops have already begun receiving the systems that actually combine the functions of air and anti-missile defenses and these are S-500 weapons," Borisov said.
"As the saying goes, they sell like hot cakes," the vice premier stressed.
Russia is "an indisputable leader" on the global arms markets in terms of this type of weapons by technical characteristics, Borisov said.
