Russia may lose up to $2.2bn from collapsed sales of air defense systems, $3.2bn on naval equipment, $3.7bn on combat aircraft, $2.5bn on military equipment for Iranian ground forces and up to $1.1bn on combat helicopters.

An estimated additional loss of $200m and $250m is also expected due to closed bilateral cooperation in space research and stopped deliveries of spare parts for military equipment.

Russian think tank Official Igor Korotchenko said the amount included revenues from prospective projects and deliveries under signed contracts.
