Russia has sent four S-300 anti-aircraft systems to Belarus in response to the delivery of F-16 aircrafts to Poland, Agence France-Presse reported Nov. 10, citing a source in the Commonwealth of Independent States. Poland has received the first four of 48 F-16s ordered from U.S. plane maker Lockheed Martin.

Iran's President Mohammad Khatami plans to visit Belarus next year, Iranian Trade Minister Mohammad Shariatmadari said.
Shariatmadari's visit to Belarus scheduled for late 2003 was announced Friday. It is aimed at increasing economic relations between Belarus and Iran, both shunned by the West as authoritarian regimes.
Last year bilateral trade reached 39 million dollars, Belarussian leader Alexander Lukashenko told Belarussian television late Friday, adding that he hoped to boost that amount.
"Iran's interest in Belarus is high, so is Belarus's potential, and that includes areas like technical equipment, education and trade," Lukashenko said. "We have no differences in political views, or any areas closed to cooperation," he added.
Despite fierce Western criticism, Belarus continues to sell Russian-made conventional military equipment and spare parts to Iran, which has been branded as a part of an "axis of evil" by Washington.

Cold War 2?
Any freepers here know the technical aspects of the soviet S300?

plenty on it even on this site
The grand poohba Medved says we have nothing to fear from our former commie friends in Roosia, capitalism has changed them and everyone has smiley face pins on.
Also grand poohba Medved says Bush is great Man will protect
us from idiot Iranian leader.
SA-10 is a big concern, especially as a pop-up threat, even to stealth platforms.
It is a very effective defensive counter to Polish F-16s
Mayhap the grand poohba Medved is delusional?
Putin also is selling missle systems to IRAN...i suggest we move some missles into Iraq and aim that at Iran and Belarus. to protect Iraq and Poland of course.
Poland isnt about to fly their F-16's in an attack against Russia.
Thats horse hockey.
Why protect against an attack that isnt even thought of?
We are back at war with Russia. Better get used to it, only this time,we can add China and Iran/ME to the axis. It's comming.
Consider this: if we dramatically take the oil weapon away from Islam we take it away from Russia as well and they, like, Islam, are totally dependent upon it for their attempts to undermine countries becoming like us.
You are correct. That woud be suicide and everyone knows it.
Any freepers here know the technical aspects of the soviet S300?
um... yes. Think Patriot missile and you have a good idea of its capabilties. In short, four batteries could stop the IAF cold from taking out Irans nukes. Ladies and gentlemen, this was the final trigger for Israel. They strike in the next weeks, maybe days, or not at all.
take a look;

But you would not only be fighting to take the oil weapon away from them but to take it away from the large oil monoplies that rely on us to buy it. Ya think they'll just let other technologies kill their golden goose?
You just spelled out my nightmare of this year. It seems overwhelming.
"Why protect against an attack that isnt even thought of?"
A question better addressed to Russia.
But of course, you have to ask why do you think Poland wanted F-16's? Because of those beligerent Swedes?
I do believe that you are correct.I don't know if you are into end times readings but Russia, Iran, and much of the middle east is to join together to attack Isreal and will be crushed not by the IDF but by the force of God Almighty.
If Iran is involved, it wont be cold for long.
