Quoting a report from the Second International Naval Show (IMDS-2005) in St. Petersburg.

Moreover, Kommersant found out that Rosoboronexport is negotiating with Iran about repair and modernization of Iranian submarines. Iran has three submarines of Project 877EKM that were supplied by Russia in 1992 (Russian name of the sub B-219, Iranian—901 Tareq), in June 1993 (B-224, 902 Noor) and in November 1996 (B-175, 903 Yunes). It was expected that all the major components that already exceeded their life expectancy will be replaced. Also, the new anti-ship missile complex Club-S with the target distance of 200 km will be installed on these subs. The refurbishing of each sub would be done under the contract which costs anywhere from $80 to $90 million. Originally it was expected that the refurbishing will be done in Zvezdochka Co (Severo-Dvinsk) but Admiralty Shipyards are also fighting for the contract.

Bwahahahaha. I'm going to step out on a limb and guess that... you've never been to Russia. Russia invading Europe in 2005? Warn me if they form an alliance with Canada, Monaco and Papua New Guinea, because then we'll really be in trouble.

Exactly! Anyone who has been to Russia and knows their people will tell you they are no threat to us. I get so tired of those who preach a resurrected Soviet Union. Yep, Chicken Little and the sky falling has more credibility.

my only regret is that 'they' will not allow the enlistment of older gents....too darn bad !

[ffusco]

The Ruski-Coms are not our friends.

Remember the dialectic? Two steps forward, one step back? they will be stepping forward boldly soon.

Is the Kremlin cognizant the Cold-War is supposedly over, as they arm to the teeth some of America's worst Islamic terrorist states.

In effect, future Iranian nuclear weapons detonated on various large urban centers will have 'From Russia With Love' labels.

Russia is on her knees. They have no clue what they are doing. They would take money from the devil himself.

They don't care that the very people that killed their children a while back are the people that are are buying their weapons. Sick. Like I said, they are like junkies looking for a buck.

I heard what Putin said today about the terrorists attacks in London and how important it was to stop them

I just rolled my eyes ..

[redgolum]

Mexico is heavily invested in China, and vice versa.

Russia is just hedging their bets. They trust us about as much as we trust them.

We didn't have the ability to destroy those jets and the plants that made them? How many of them could they have had?

[WakeUpAndVote]

According to the documentary, the plants and the planes were deep inside mountains. They had the know how and were making the jets. The first jets rolled off the line only eight days before we dropped the first bomb. They never seen action.

Interesting indeed. Did we know about this at the time?

[FreeAtlanta]

we should have just accidently targeted and destroyed them when we were taking out their neighbor.

[Ilky Hucktar]

Has Putin given us the stats (top and cruising speed, turning ability, weapons limitations, that sort of thing) so that these subs will be like sitting ducks?

[SQUID]

Well, he has to sound like he has nothing to do with the material support for rouge states, Iran, in public but as far as I am concerned actions speak louder....only when people bother to pay attention.

[Mount Athos]

this is a very sad day.

Iran is the #1 supporter of terrorism in the world.

Very disappointed.

[SQUID]

Interesting name by the way. I would love to see Mt. Athos before I leave this earth.
