Russia has struck a deal to provide Iran with short-range, surface-to-air missiles, Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov said Monday. He defended the deal, saying that the weapons system was purely defensive.
Russian media reported Friday that Russian and Iranian officials had signed various weapons contracts in November worth a billion dollars (?850 million) that would send up to 30 Tor-M1 missile systems to Iran over the next two years.
''A contract for the delivery of air defense Tor missile systems to Iran has indeed been signed,'' Ivanov said in comments broadcast by the state channel Rossiya, without giving further details.

WTF?!
Israel has been building nukes since the 1950's and has between 200 and 400 of them including H-bombs.
That is enough to destroy ALL of their enemies except Russia.
old habits die hard when it comes to commies like Putin.
Paging all Putinists! What's your boy done now?
Russia,Chinese,Iran and Syrian alliance. People that support these idiots are pushing for WW3 because thats where its headed.
The TOR-M1
free trade
Hmm maybe the Chechens need a nuclear weapon.
It is the year 2008, and Russia has suffered its worst wheat harvest in 55 years. Apparently desperate for food to feed its people, Soviet Russia and its Latin American allies launch a full scale invasion of the United States, and World War III breaks out. The Soviets destroy several major U.S. cities with ICBMs, especially key points of communication (Omaha and Washington, D.C. are specifically cited). Soviet troops and their socialist allies invade the U.S. in three waves.
The first wave are Russian transport aircraft that slip through U.S. radar disguised as commercial airlines. These planes contain crack Spetsnaz troops and Cuban Special Forces who parachute and occupy strategic towns and transportation hubs.
The second invasion force is composed of millions of Mexican, Nicaraguan, and other Central American socialist soldiers who simply pour across the U.S.-Mexico border into the center of the United States.
The Russians also invade Alaska from Siberia. They cross into Canada, cut the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System but are decisively stopped at the border by a large U.S. force. Much of the Progress of the war is hampered by leftist critics and liberalist/communists who believe America will be better off under tyrannical rule of Communism .
The Communist forces manage to occupy and control the central third of the United States, extending from the Rocky Mountains to the Mississippi River. Once the lines are stabilized, it becomes a conventional war with both sides ceasing the use of nuclear weapons. The Soviets establish puppet governments at the local level to help them maintain order.
Jets? They don't need no stinking jets....a simple red button will do...
Sounds like the plotline for the movie "Red Dawn" for a couple of decades ago
Tanks, Russia!
Since Moscow is arming Mullah controlled Iran, Assad's Syria & Hugo Chavez Venezuela with vast & various quantities of offensive armaments, from nuclear weapons, missiles, to 100's of thousands of AK47's, would it not stand to reason those arming our enemies with the worst type of weapons in effect become - the enemy behind our enemies?
There are even a few on FR which continuing maintaining Putin's Russia is a 'real ally'/friend. With 'friends' like this we we better modernize & greatly expand America's ABM system, now.
The combination practically demands immediate action, as the window of oportunity will soon close.
Unless there is a plan to take out Irani nuke capability without the use of airpower, that is.
Someone ask Condi to slap Putin. PLEASE!!!
You got it
It could very well fit the mold
Russia is no longer our friend.
