Put them somewhere where Muslims can steal them and sell them to Iran?

Hmm....

[lizol]

It's not about stealing by Muslims.

Russian authorities know, that if they sold this equipment to Iran openly - such a move could ruin their relations with U.S.

But Russia and Belarus are friends. So no one should complain if Russia gives for free these air defense systems to a friend.

Belarus and Iran are also friends, both being autocracies, and anti-U.S. rogue states.

So the Russians can't help, if ungrateful Belorussians sell this generous gift to Iran (sarcasm)
