Why should they Buy AK-47 or it ammunition when Iran can make it anyway?
Why does he buy AK-47 for US$ 450 when you can buy it for less than USD 100 in open market ??
QUESTION who has to date seen any Mil-24 or Mil-35 in Iran flying on Tarmac of airports ? ........ answer is no one, except the one Iraqi Mi-24 captured in 1986 in front lines and is on display.
As for US$ 5 Billion order, I ask anyone to realistically look at conventional arms transferred to Iran since 1988 and you see how such disinformation we get about Iran and its military Build-up ......
So my conclusion on the report is that, this is a False Report."
I just spoke with Banafsheh.
She attributes the report to a "highly reliable source within the Iranian Intelligence community that has always provided reliable information." She stands by the report.
She also told me she is publishing a report on Iranian response to Michael Moore's movie "Fahreheit 9/11" which is now showing in Tehran. Contrary to other posts on this thread she claims people are rejecting the film as propaganda. The report will be release by week's end.
Durin Bam earth quake, she claimed the Nuke tests caused the quake and when she was asked about her source, she mentioned "highly reliable source within the Iranian Intelligence community. But Scientific results showed that the quake was natural.
