No New S-300 Air-Defense System To Syria Says Russia — But Maybe Old Ones
An anonymous reader writes "Yesterday, Russia's Foreign Minister declared that Moscow would not sell any new surface-to-air missiles to Syria, although there is a catch. He said old contracts are being honored. Could old contracts just be code for an already signed, but undisclosed deal for the S-300? Lavarov certainly left the door open: '...when questioned in particular about the S-300, his reply was not clear if the "earlier contracts" were for the S-300 or something else.' With Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu going to the Black Sea town of Sochi early next week for talks with President Vladimir Putin, it seems they may have something to talk about."
Bah!
Let the goddamned savages murder each other, and then Allah can sort them out. The more they're fighting and slaughtering each other like animals, the less they'll bother us. We should only intervene to keep the fighting going, and to ensure that no faction gets overwhelmingly strong than another.
Syria is currently perfect -- it's a self-cleaning oven.
They are rockets from Iran made several years ago - thus "old Iranian rockets", and unlikely to work with anything new from Russia.
Those are *new* rockets you ijit. Clearly you don't know jack about munitions.
It appears that you must have picked up your "kill all Muslims" shit, the kind of stuff that plays right into Bin Laden's hands, from the sort of emerging genocidal fascist in Israel that it's founders would want to shoot on sight.
False. The same strawman you keep trotting out. I believe in killing *jihadis*. When identified. Before they murder civilians. Non-jihadi Muslims should not have a hair on their head touched. We can defeat them by supporting the US Constitution and the UN Declaration Human Rights (note: but not the Cairo Declaration of Human Rights which is pro-Sharia and opposes the UN Declaration of Human Rights). So, you can repeat your slander all you want - but it doesn't make you falicious arguments true or lend your personal opinions any scientific meri .
from the sort of emerging genocidal fascist in Israel that it's founders would want to shoot on sight.
Blah Blah. Yeah, we already know you are a racist anti-Semite from your other posts. No need to repeat your racist statements - we haven't forgotten.
So, how about you answer my perfectly scientifically simple question about the throw weight of the 50000 Iranian missiles that Hezbollah claims to have. Ya know, the ones you tried to downplay as "old" because they were manufactured a few years ago (lol), at least within the last five years or so (after new bunkers were made for them after the 2006 Lebanon War). So, what is the throw weight of the flavours of Iranian-supplied missiles? you will see they are not only enough to carry even a crude nuke or chemical weapons (you know, the "missing" Iraqi WMD that were shipped to Syria before the 2003 Invasion of Iraq and have been used by the Al Qaeda rebels against their own civilians in Syria for propaganda purposes in the last fortnight). You can't answer without calling in Google to try mask your ignorance. Why don't you admit that you have failed *again*, and made a false statement *again* because if you had known anything about the subject (ballistic missiles) you simply wouldn't have made the ridiculously false statement you did based on the known data of Iranian rockets supplied to evil Hezbollah (who I came into contact with a a neutral tourist in Lebanon, and I'm guessing you have not even been there yet still think you know more than someone who has been there; that's simply another fail to add to your litani [see what I did there, lol, if you'd been in-country you would get it]).
