Iran to procure Chinese defense system (Russia refuses sale of S-300 system)
Jerusalem Post ^ | May 10, 2009 | Staff

Iran will turn to China instead of Russia to acquire an advanced air defense system after relations between Iran and Russia hit rock bottom.... Teheran will now turn to China for the HongQi-9/FD-2000 system which reportedly combines elements "borrowed" from the Russian S-300 and the American MIM-104 Patriot system...

In April, London's Times reported that Israeli military forces were in the final stages of preparation for launching a "massive aerial raid" on Iranian nuclear facilities "within days of being given the go-ahead by its new government."

Netanyahu meets with Obama in Washington on May 18 and Iran's nuclear weapons are said to be at top the agenda...

I expect Obama to try and stiff-arm Bibi - and once that occurs look for Israel to strike Iran very shortly

Agreed, obviously Israel cannot wait to strike much longer.
The question is what will Obama do to punish Israel after they strike Iran?

On one hand, if the quality of the crap China is going to ship to Iran is on par with the sh655 they ship to the US, several million iranians are going to be “blowed up real good.”

Cool - a whole defense system "Made in China."

Let us know how that works out for you, Iran.

With enough money flashed around, Russia wondered if a S-300 missile would find itself either “missing” or a certain database “copied”???

Perhaps Russia is finally beginning to sting from the rampant pirating of their intellectual property. If they sell on item to the Chinese it is out of their hands forever, and the crap countries that they deal with are all to happy to loan out their Russian equipment for copying for a few bucks or UN votes.

Perhaps Russia is thinking it wouldn’t be wise to let China figure out how the system works.

Because some day they may need the system themselves, to defend Siberia.

Against China.

Just saying. China’s pretty much as close to Siberia, as Mexico is the the US Southwest.

Imagine if Mexico had a billion people, was ruled by a communist politboro, had a trillion dollars in cash, a massive military, nukes, and 30 million extra military-aged men who can’t find women.

Oh. And Nevada had lots and lots and lots of oil.

I’m hopeful that obamma lamma ding dong does his pro mooselimb b.s. to BiBi and BiBi tells the “magic negro”, to piss up a rope and goes ahead and bombs the crap out of Iran.
I’d pay higher for gas just to be able to see iran hammered.

See, the Iranian gov't has a lot on the ball... so does Putin's proxy gov't in Russia. I think the Chinese installed the Iranian fiber optic network.
