Russia ACCELERATES deliveries of anti aircraft missiles to Iran and Syria...recall the ambassador, George
MOSCOW — Russia has delivered more than half of the anti-aircraft defense systems ordered by Iran and Syria.
Russian defense officials said Moscow has accelerated deliveries of surface-to-air missiles to Damascus and Teheran over the past few months. The SAM contract with Syria has been completed, while half of the air defense systems arrived in Teheran.
"We are actively carrying out deliveries of the system to Iran," the Russian state-operated Itar-Tass news agency quoted a Russian Defense Ministry official as saying on Jan. 2. "At least 50 percent of the contract has been delivered."
In 2005, Iran purchased at least 29 TOR-M1 short-range mobile anti-aircraft systems from Russia. Over the past year, officials said, Iran ordered additional batteries as well as enhancements to the TOR-M1 in an overall contract estimated at $1.4 billion.
Itar-Tass said the TOR-M1 would defend Iranian nuclear sites, including the reactor constructed at Bushehr. Some of the batteries have already been deployed.
George, bring back the ambassador and committ at least a symbolic act displaying that Putin is ACKNOWLEDGED to be no friend.
