Russia has begun deliveries of S-300 air defense systems to Iran they have paid for.

“The contract is being executed and is being paid for. The delivery is underway and soon, other contracts will be fulfilled after this one,” Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said during an interview on Russian Rossiya-24 television channel Wednesday.

Russia and Iran signed the previous contract for the supplies of five divisions of the S-300 missile systems in 2007. In September 2010, then-President Dmitry Medvedev inked a decree on measures on implementing the UN Security Council’s resolution 1929 that in particular banned the S-300 supplies to Iran.

The contract worth over $800 million was cancelled and the advance payment was paid back. Iran filed an almost $4 billion lawsuit against Russia at the Geneva Court of Arbitration over Russia’s failure to fulfil the contract.

In April 2015, Russian President Vladimir Putin lifted the ban on delivery of S-300 missile systems to Tehran.
