Despite US/Israel Demands, 'Isolated' Russia Offers Iran Advanced Anti-Aircraft Missiles
With proxy wars mounting and "isolated" Russia ratifying The BRICS Bank this week, we are sure Washington is preparing to double-down on 'costs' (to Europeans) as Reuters reports, Russia has offered Iran its latest Antey-2500 missiles (ironically after a deal to supply less powerful S-300 missiles was dropped under Western pressure in 2010). While the United States and Israel lobbied Russia to block the missile sale, the head of Russian state defense conglomerate, Sergei Chemezov, says, "as far as Iran is concerned, we offered Antey-2500 instead of S-300. They are thinking. No decision has been made yet."
As Reuters reports, last year, Russian foreign arm sales totaled $13 billion... and it appears they are looking for growth in 2015...
Russia has offered Iran its latest Antey-2500 missiles, the head of Russian state defense conglomerate Rostec said on Monday according to media reports, after a deal to supply less powerful S-300 missiles was dropped under Western pressure.
Sergei Chemezov said Tehran was now considering the offer, TASS news agency reported.
Russia scrapped a contract to supply Iran with S-300 surface-to-air missiles under Western pressure in 2010, and Iran later filed a $4-billion international arbitration suit against Russia in Geneva, but the two countries remain allies.
The United States and Israel lobbied Russia to block the missile sale, saying it could be used to shield Iran's nuclear facilities from possible future air strikes.

"As far as Iran is concerned, we offered Antey-2500 instead of S-300. They are thinking. No decision has been made yet," Chemezov was quoted as saying.
Rostec includes state-owned arms exporting monopoly Rosoboronexport, which has the sole right to export and import arms in Russia.

Chemezov told reporters conflicts in the Middle East had helped boost Russian arm sales, according to TASS.
"I don't conceal it, and everyone understands this, the more conflicts there are, the more they buy off weapon from us. Volumes are continuing to grow despite sanctions. Mainly, it's Latin America and the Middle East," he was quoted as saying.

The Antey-2500 was developed from the 1980s-generation S-300V system (SA-12A Gladiator and SA-12B Giant). It can engage missiles traveling at 4,500 meters per second, with a range of 2,500 km (1,500 miles), according to the company that makes it, Almaz-Antey.
The S-300 missiles have a 125-mile range and Russia has stoked tensions with the West by trying to sell them to Syria and other Middle Eastern countries.

What with increase in sanctions on Russia just a few days ago and Kerry's ultimatum that he doesn't like the Iranian position, it looks like Putin gave Iran a big stack of chips to play with.
Snapchat compatible?
Russia is moving military bases into Iran. China is building military bases across the China Sea. New currency exchange system for the BRICS and F'n Israel chooses to side with the bum fuck NWO that are the most hated despots the world has ever known. Oh well.
Why not? The NWO is their creation.
Russia knows how to bitch slap a Zionist.

R u sure Soetoro is from Hawai?
Hm, MSM say so, the whitness died in an aircraft accident last year, no impeachement underway, maybe his name never has been Soetoro and he is from Hawai.
I WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY WAR.
Any draft for WWIII is sure as hell going unanswered by me.
FUCK THE OLIGARCHS.
Why?
Do not worry.
The nukes explode usually above the ground in an air burst.
People will be burned away within miliseconds, see Hiroshime, where US president has done such experiment on Japanese civilians.
If the US/Israel can arm Ukraine then Russia can arm Iran.
Good, so the Russian military has at least 1 of the fatal weaknesses that the U.S. military does.
I am a small and insignificant part of the world disorder, but increasingly find "proxy" representation by Russia. My government is bought and sold by (__________)? Regardless of how I vote, how fellow Americans vote or how I feel about American action or involvement in world or domestic affairs the country moves on without me in a direction I don't approve. The mobsters that run this country get it shoved in their faces periodically by Russia and it translates more and more as a good feeling. Wierd?
Reagan fed USSR - Obama is a cretin
All IRN has to do is allow CHN to park their PLAN Assets year 'round.
See the S-300 in action here - and what it will be shooting at!
