Missing Channel Pirate Ship Carried Russian Arms For Iran

The Times ^ | September 6, 2009

[Strategy]

A CARGO ship that vanished in the Channel was carrying arms to Iran and was being tracked by Mossad, the Israeli security service, according to sources in both Russia and Israel.

I’d say question how many of the Israeli navy Dolphin class submarines were at sea at the time but if you’re talking about 140m of water it’s too easy to discover torpedo damage on a sunken vessel.

Russia in its 100s of years of existence has always been ruthless and evil. Patton was right and we should have used the Nazis to fight the Bolsheviks

The real B.S. in this coverup is the russian government painting this as rogue military officers and arms dealers/mafia gangs. Russia was likely notified by Mossad that they knew about the S-300 missiles as they were in transit. And they had two choices. Save Face with some b.s. story and get your missiles back or the real story goes public and/or your ship goes to the bottom of the sea.

I mean come the hell on. Take a look at this picture. Iran was going to need/or has already procured all the other toys as well like the radar and control systems from Russia as well to use these missiles. To claim the Russian government was completely clueless that all this hardware was being exported to a major trading partner without their knowledge is beyond fantasy land.

THe enhanced PVO-SV S-300V system, armed with the hypersonic 9M82 and 9M83 missiles, guided by the 9S19M Imbir / High Screen acquistion radar and the 9S32M Grill Pan engagement radar. The missiles use semiactive continuous wave homing, with illuminators on each TEL. The S-300V was designed from the outset as an ABM, to the extent that the specialised High Screen ABM radar is used. Both the S-300V and the S-300PMU-2/S-400 are highly mobile weapon systems, equipped with radio datalinks to connect battery elements.

We should have destroyed them both when we had the chance.

Why would they send three huge air freighters to bring back about 20 people to Moscow, hmmm???

[danamco]

Let Israel keep them.

How would that be possible???

"Let's face it, it seemed rather "fishy" that a ship would disappear, that there would be no radio transmissions nor satellite images."

Don't bet the farm on that.

A nuke on Moscow 64 years ago and there would have been no Cold War, no Castro in Cuba, no Red China, no North Korea, and South Vietnam would still stand.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Hmmmm. What is the time line of Russian subs being spotted off our coast?

[El Gato]

It appears that this one time, it's possible that the Joos really did do it. :)

Good for them.

Now if they could just do a little "document procurement".

What happened to the balaclava clad men we were repeatedly told boarded the Arctic Sea posing as members of a law enforcement agency?

[daniel1212]

Reading some of the comments can basically leave one incredulous. Their logic is that since Israel has nuclear and missiles, so should Iran.

Arms or Dope ?...

[Sender]

Aren't the Russians saying that they can sell Iran whatever the hell they want to? They didn't feel the need to hide it before.

The level of drama and secrecy surrounding the Arctic Sea suggests weapons beyond SAMs. Weapons that cannot be acknowledged.

Here is an article about the missing Arctic Sea Cargo Ship. Although it is long, the second page has a fascinating account about Pirates and Nuclear Weapons. It is recommended reading.

Is Russia setting the stage for a nuclear apocalypse?
