Russia has ensured that it will honor a deal providing Iran with the S-300 sophisticated anti-aircraft system, Tehran's envoy to Moscow says.

Didn’t Iraq and Syria have Russian air defense systems?

[Bean Counter]

Q: With Obama in office, does Iran really need this missile system...??

[blackminorca]

From Russia with Love.

i have no idea but a shot is fired across that straight and oil is at 300

with depression now with oil north of $ 10.00 per gallon

those silkworms are sufficient for all tanker traffic and Iran will light up the sky

none of this is any good

[JDoutrider]

Well alrighty then! Israel should send the Russians a big thank you bouquet and go ahead and take out those pesky nuclear facilities before these are installed!

Back in 2006, Syria had S-300 systems to defend their airspace. The Israelis spoofed them successfully and destroyed the reactor site that had been built in NE Syria. The Russians have improved their software since then - that was a real nasty surprise.

They still do, to keep Israeli fighters away from their nuke facilities.

[Constantine XI Palaeologus]

No, they didn’t. At the time the only modern SAMs (Pantsir-S1) in the Syrian inventory were short-range SAMs.

[17th Miss Regt]

Yep. A little research shows that you are correct. And the strike occurred in 2007, not 2006. Faulty memory on my part.

“Didn’t Iraq and Syria have Russian air defense systems?”

Yes, but I don’t think the S-300...

[babygene]

“none of this is any good”

Doesn’t matter... It’ll be over in days, before the current contracts even notice it, it will be down again.

[VeniVidiVici]

Looking into this the S-300 components seem to have been around for quite some time. Why would the Israelis have a problem with it?

[ErnstStavroBlofeld]

Syria does but it was defeated by the Suter when the Israelis attacked their reactor.Suter is a military computer program developed by BAE Systems that attacks computer networks and communications systems belonging to an enemy

Russian S-300 missile systems, also known affectionately as "targets."

This one can be used against Air/Ground/Sea targets,,, If this damned thing has a fail-safe over-ride on it Iran will be able to hit any state in the gulf with a nuke,,, This is a proven system,,, Ain't junk...:0/
