KYIV, Aug 5 – The C-125 Pechora anti-aircraft missile system, owned by Russia and recently discovered in Ukraine, will be confiscated and transferred to the Defense Ministry, Larysa Sarhan, spokeswoman for the prosecutor general’s office, said.
The system, together with 36 land-to-air 5B27D missiles, was kept in one of the arms depots for years apparently as Russia has been seeking to illegally export it to Eritrea.
