Russia is prepared to closely study the possibility of selling its newest air defense systems S-500 to India, should New Delhi display interest in such a deal, Russian ambassador in New Delhi, Denis Alipov, told Russian media on Friday.
"I can confirm that if India displays interest in acquiring S-500 systems, we will study this possibility in the closest way," Alipov said.
"But, as far as I know, no concrete talks are on the current agenda," he added.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yury Borisov said last December that India might become the first foreign purchaser of the Russian missile defense system S-500 Prometheus, should it display interest.
