Katyushia rockets are also of Russian (Soviet) manufacture, they have been around in one form or another since WWII. If Hezbollah had them in their arsenal, it is not a huge leap of faith they had other Soviet weapons at their disposal. And chastising Russia for selling them to Lebanon (or more likely Iran) is like spitting in the wind.

Russian spokesman says that if Russian missiles had been used the cities would have been devastated, erased, reduced to ground level and a little more, so therefore the missile could not have been Russian.

The missile which hit the Israeli warship was a C-802, which is an Iranian reverse engineered Chinese Silkworm.

Investigate the source or those anti-tank weapons they were using that destroyed 30 Israeli tanks and I thing you will also find Russia was the maker.

("Most probably, such weapons, should Hezbollah militants really have any, might have been brought to Lebanon through third countries," he added.)

The only country apart from Israel that borders Lebanon is Israel. I'm sure that's how the weapons made it to Hezbollah. /sarcasm off.
