Russia has hoped to building laser ranging station for the Glonass navigation system in Israel, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said on Monday.

When meeting with Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak in Black Sea resort of Sochi, Putin said currently experts from both countries were studying the feasibility of constructing such laser distance-measuring stations in Israel, which will be linked to Russia's Global Navigation Satellite System (Glonass).

Putin also hailed bilateral cooperation in the military sector.

"We have viable projects in the area of military and transport aviation. We bought several drones from Israel and launched several satellites in Israel's interests," he said as cited by news agencies.

Earlier on Monday, Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov told reporters that Russia had bought 12 Israeli unmanned aerial vehicles, and some 50 servicemen were being trained to operate them.

The two defense ministries also signed a long-term agreement on military cooperation.

Maybe because of the crappy way the US has been treating them under the Obama regime.

Basically Israel the girl saying to the US boy “We need to be seeing other people”.

Answer to your question:

“Israel and Russia in new UAV deal

Russia and Israel have signed an agreement on military technical cooperation in fighting their common enemy, Islamic terrorism. Israel will supply Russia with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), while Russia will deliver laser equipment under the GLONASS system.

Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov and his Israeli counterpart Ehud Barak have signed the first bilateral agreement on military technical cooperation in 15 years.

Serdyukov said the Russian Armed Forces, which is currently undergoing reforms, needs Israel’s experience and expertise. Barak said that Russia is not only one of Israel’s major partners but also a major player in the Middle East.

The two officials did not disclose the details of the new agreement.

The Israeli minister said Russia and Israel will focus on a common problem: Islamic terrorism. Israel monitors reports from Russia’s North Caucasus and is ready to continue sharing anti-terror experience with the Russian military, including the use of UAVs, Barak said.

Russia bought earlier 12 Israeli-built UAVs.”

Uhm, 43 is WAY WAY off.... and 44 is just the past law, wherein 43 is hidden as future. So I am not at all sure what THOSE have to do with Iran and Russia.
