Iran has taken delivery of the Russian-made S-300 air missile defense system, the Iranian Tasnim News Agency reported Monday.

Russia was to provide Iran with at least five S-300 systems in a deal worth more than $800 million that was initially inked in 2007, Tasnim reported.

That deal was revoked in 2010 when Moscow banned supply of the systems.

Russian president Vladimir Putin lifted the ban in April 2015, Tasnim reported, and news of pending deliveries was reported in late 2015.

The systems made their debut in a military parade in Tehran in April, Tasnim reports.

It includes two radar systems, its carrier and command vehicles, as well as a crane for lifting the missiles.

The S-300 is a surface-to-air, long-range air defense and anti-ballistic missile defense system.
