Well, only a complete idiot would be selling cutting edge technology with military application to places like Russia or China... And it does not matter that the sale was "legal": any collectivist [including statist] place should automatically be placed on "no-go list", knee-jerk fashion. Ditto about security clearances for the people with roots there.

>> Iran used German measuring instruments and propulsion and control systems in its Shahab-3 missile, which with its 3,500-kilometre (2,175-miles) range could strike European targets with nuclear warheads, the magazine reported.

The beat goes on. All we need now is the initial Iranian test detonation (coming maybe this month) and their announcement that they have viable medium range delivery systems operational.

Too bad the pigs that gave them the technology will be the first ones in range.

well maybe the germans should be less freindly with the Russians if they make such accusations?

[Chi-townChief]

Aren't Germany, Syria, and Iran allies, tacitly anyhow?

[Thunder90]

Russia is NOT our friend. Their actions prove it.
