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.

I was watching the History Channel over the weekend.

Japan had jets. Knock offs of the ME 262, and one model that was faster. The jets were made for Carrier take off. If we had to do an invasion of the mainland their plan was to use the one jets off over modified transport ships and the others off the mainland. They traveled over 500mph and could operate at 37k feet. Our Navy would have never known what hit them and our bombers would have no defense against them.

1946 would have been a bad year if we did not drop the bomb.

Russia is an enemy of the US, straight and simple. It's too bad that no one in the State Department has the 'nads to call it like it is.

"What the heck is wrong with those Russians

Are they nuts?"

They are not nuts. They are evil. They have been huge supporters of the Iranian nuclear program and ballsitic missle program.

The Russians created modern terrorism and are still behind, it, but now they have to be much more covert, because they are playing "good guy". So they have helped Iran set up as an unattackable nuclear power, so they can serve as the base of worldwide terrorism and not suffer regime change.

This the the first paragraph in the article.

"Source: kommersant.com

Yesterday the Second International Naval Show (IMDS-2005) finished its work in St. Petersburg. During its course there were negotiations about new shipments of naval military equipment to China and Mexico, and about the refurbishing Iranian submarines."


NAVAL MILITARY equipment to CHINA, MEXICO and IRAN.

Now WTF does mexico need with russian naval equipment? Are they going to fight the war on drugs? (/S)

Can you say "Red Dawn"?

"probe recent press reports that Vice President Al Gore and then Russian Prime Minister Victor Chernomyrdin"

Like to see that MFer behind bars. To think he was almost president!

...war by proxy

[Ashamed Canadian]

Russia needs a good ass kicking.

[Ashamed Canadian]

Also, I find it even more shocking that they are playing this game especially after what happened in Beslan. Dumb Russians.

[RightWhale]

Is Iran intending to slog it out with India in the Arabian Sea?

[Ashamed Canadian]

Can you even imagine being on a sub crewed by the Iranians? LOL

I'd imagine there would be so much anal sex going on, they wouldn't have time to run the bloody boat.

[Lurking in Kansas]

Plus they probably have live goats on board!!

[taxesareforever]

I can just imagine the sounds that sonar would pick up from an Iranian sub with goats on board. Does a replica of a Dean yell come to mind?

[DTogo]

Great! Let the CIA ensure they all have a Kursk-esque accident just outside of port. Waste Russia's time and Iran's money/subs.

[Ashamed Canadian]

Plus they probably have live goats on board!!

LOL. "If this sub's a rockin', don't bother knockin'" Bah bah!

[bill1952]

American will equip submarines with large holes

[CaptSkip]

well....we should just go ahead and take on Iran now before it gets any tougher .

Get it over with .

Let's do it

You'll likely see your wish come true by years end.

The outcome of the Iranian Presidential "Election" and this kind of continuing strategic military help from Russia, China and North Korea, has accelerated a "point of no return" for Israel and the US.
