Russian air defence systems for Iran

MOSCOW: Russia has begun deliveries of its most potent air defence systems to Iran, a Russian news agency reported.
Russia is currently fulfilling a contract to deliver S-300 air defence systems to Iran, RIA news agency reported quoting confidential sources in the Russian Defence Ministry.
The move has rattled Israel, which has immediately dispatched a senior Defence Ministry official to Russia to thwart the sale.
Moscow earlier met its obligations on supplying Tor-M1 systems to Iran and is currently implementing a contract to deliver S-300 systems, RIA said. Russia supplied 29 Tor-M1 short-range air-defence complexes to Iran a year ago under a $1.4-billion contract.
The S-300 is a long-range air defence system. Earlier defence sources said Moscow was planning to sell Iran five batteries of 300PMU-1 launchers at a price of $800 million. A typical S-300 battery contains 48 missiles on 12 mobile launchers. The S-300PMU can intercept missiles and aircraft from more than 120 km away.
The powerful combination of advanced short-range and long-range air defence systems will enable Iran to counter any Israeli or U.S. attacks. Israeli Defence Ministry official Amos Gilad arrived in Moscow on Wednesday to try and persuade the Russians to cancel the deal on the grounds that it could upset the balance of power in West Asia. Russia has rejected the Israeli protest.
Russia’s military and technical cooperation with Iran has a positive impact on stability in this region,” deputy head of Russia’s Federal Military Technical Cooperation Service Alexander Fomin told RIA.
We have developed, are developing and will continue to develop this cooperation further. The region’s security to a large extent depends on this, he added.

Probably a good time for the Russians to remind the Isreali Defence minister about his country’s meddling in South Ossetia along with them Yanks.

Maybe the Russians have been giving their air defenses to the wrong country.
They should give it to pakistan!
Because India is behaving more like Isreal in the Middle East in South Asia.
All countries in the South Asian region are threatened by the big bully in the region INDIA.
My sympathies with Pakistan right now. The next few years are gonna be the toughest in in its history.
I think Iran will be OK. Iran can take care of itself from Aggression from Isreal.
But can Pakistan protect itself from Aggression from India.
If it happens then the Globalists will have the 3rd World War Which they are to start. Duped Indian people unfortunately will be a billion plus cannon fodder for the New World Order.
America for all its faults at least has Alex Jones and many like him.
India desperately needs an Alex Jones like people who have deeply studied the New World Order and can warn their own people of this grave threat to world peace. The Globalists and the New World Order

Israel is trying to “thwart the sale”. Good luck. There is no AIPAC in Russia.

can i just remind u this is all part of the nwo. The elite control all the major powers. So stop looking at it from a conventional political point of view. There are no good guys, until we take control of our governments!

India had the terrorists incedents to pass Terrorism laws, just like all Western freindly nations do.
Cause an incedent then clean it up and push through laws.
This is the well used classic way of doing iy.
Alex Jones repeats it often, Problem Action Solution.
He is very right.
Russia, is a player, but America has provoked them. Its good to see America rethink it strategies from only being a bully.
The worst thing for a bully is being punched back hard.

I really love seeing this type of warrior mentality. Not long agao russia wanted to destroy Iran, now they aid them when faced with tyranny and invasion.
It wont be another Iraq. I beg that we smarten up and never do thjat again.
May revolution end the needs of the rich, returning the prosperity to god’s people of love and good.
Peace will be the next renosance

excellent point, smiddy.

Warrior mentality? Russia is just another player in the NWO game. The evil Americans are nothing more than a boogeyman to focus the Russian people and get them behind the government becoming more militaristic and dictatorial. Don’t be fooled. They are playing the game hand in hand with the goons that have hijacked the US.
