 New S-400 air-defence systems to be deployed on Russian border

    
 Several new air-defence systems S-400 Triumph are due to be deployed on the Russian border this year, the Russian Air Force Commander, Alexander Zelenin, has told the RIA Novosti news agency. He failed to specify the regions of deployment.

 Earlier, the Commander of the Russian Baltic Fleet, Vice-Admiral Victor Chirkov, has made public the Defence Ministry plan to deploy an S-400 system in the country's westernmost exclave, Kaliningrad region, in April this year.
