Middle East Times: Russia will sell SAMs to Iran

Russia will sell SAMs to Iran

February 14, 2006

MOSCOW - Russia intends to sell Tehran up to 30 Tor M-1 surface-to-air missiles in a deal estimated to be worth up to $700 million. Tor M-1 missiles are short-range, surface-to-air missiles. The system is able to identify up to 48 targets and fire at two targets simultaneously at a height of up to 6,000 meters (20,000 feet).

Analysts believe that the Tor M-1s will be deployed at Iran's Isfahan nuclear research center and around the Bushehr reactor that Russia is building for Iran. Isfahan has been mentioned in media reports as one of the targets that the US military might seek to destroy if the United States was to attempt a pre-emptive strike against Iran's nuclear program.

Gee, I wonder if Li'l Boots knows this....

:nuke:

I was saying to my spouse tonight... *Co, unchecked as it is right now, cannot sustain itself much longer before it disintegrates.

I simply refuse to believe anything else.

Not looking forward to cleaning up their colossal messes, but it's the only path to recovery for us.
