Egypt received their new S-300VM “Antey-2500” missile system they ordered from Russia.

The S-300Vm has a 200 kilometer range.

Israel learned of the impending sale last month, but did not publicly protest it.

The deal is estimated to be valued at $1 billion.

The model Egypt received was painted yellow.
