Mubasher: Qatar and Russia have been in talks over the former’s intentions to buy S-400 missile systems, Nurmakhmad Kholov, the Russian ambassador to Qatar, said.
Both countries had signed an agreement to supply Qatar with small arms, such as Kalashnikov assault rifles and anti-tank weapons, Russian news agency TASS reported.
“As far as the air defence is concerned, the S-400 systems and so on, there are talks about this, but there is no concrete conclusion,” Kholov stated.
