Moscow, March 20 (IANS/RIA Novosti) Moscow-based missile manufacturer Avangard has signed a contract to supply Russia's defense ministry with missiles for its new S-400 air defense systems, the ministry said Tuesday.
The value of the three-year deal was not disclosed.
Avangard will be the sole supplier of missiles for the S-400 system, the ministry said.
