, The head of Russia's state arms exporter has said that the country has fulfilled a contract to deliver anti-aircraft missiles to Iran. The official Itar-Tass news agency quoted Sergei Chemezov, head of Rosoboronexport, as saying that they completed delivery of the TOR-M1 missiles at the end of December last year.
