Iran to Receive Russian Missles by End of 2015
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Iran will receive the bulk of the S-300 air defense missile systems it ordered from Russia by the end of the year, Tehran's defense minister has said.
"We signed a contract with Russia. It is being done. We will acquire a large portion of the systems by the end of this year," Hossein Dehghan told state television late Tuesday.
He said Iranian troops were being trained in Russia to operate the surface-to-air missile systems.
This week, the state-run Russian Technologies corporation (Rostec) announced the signing of a delivery contract in Tehran for S-300 missiles.
Moscow in April lifted a ban dating from 2010 on selling the missile systems to Iran, ahead of Tehran sealing a final historic deal with world powers in July to curb its nuclear program.
The decision sparked condemnation from Israel and concern from Washington, as it came before the lifting of the sanctions by the UN Security Council.
Russia will provide Iran with a "modernized and updated" version of the missile systems, following up on an initial contract signed in 2007, Rostec Director General Sergey Chemezov said in a statement.

you gotta be kidding me!!!! Even on an article as insignificant as this I see you mowaten spamming, trolling, and terrorizing posters? What kinda of human being are you? New evidence surfaces by the minute that you are paid to post but the critical question is who pays you and for what purpose? Is it the iranian embassy? the syrian intelligence? the revolutionary guard? or the ex-KGB?

Cool, soon we can bring down planes and fight more wars, but we are unable to provide basic needs to most Lebanese (clean water, 24/24h electricity, work opportunities, healthcare, roads, security...)
This country is just ruled by teenagers

israel spent years bombing our infrastructures, including power plants, water plants and roads. without proper anti-air defenses any investment in these sectors would be subjected to israeli "goodwill", which is not acceptable.

Our Army is the Lebanese Army of which we are proud of, and that is precisely what you are combatting....you and the IDF....

irrelevant comment as usual. i'm saying lebanon needs proper anti-air defenses, but you're too obsessed with your anti-HA propaganda to even take note.

Brilliant comment Southern. How you are able to mix culture, folklore, politics with medical analysis shows how resourceful you have become. Thank you for being you Southern and of course bravo.

Ebola does not represent all Shi3as any more. There are more and more Shi3as who are distrusting Ebola. In the same way there are more and more Christians distrusting the Caporal because he is a servant to Ebola.

You have no idea what is good for Lebanon, and you don't care either. You're a iranian loving muppet and only their interests count for you. You're not Lebanese, and even less honorable, so don't pretend to speak for what you're not.

News Break from Southy Everyone!
Alcohol and Clubs will be soon banned from all western countries!! lol
Southy... I am sure that Ebola cares for the health of all (lol) but the only reason why they ban alcohol is religious and ideological.

Dear AT
Thank you for your answer to the Iranian loyal patriot...
For them Iran comes first....they won't accept any remarks on this stone aged model of governing mollahs....
Yesterday I heard one of the Ebola members saying "look at the dictatorship in Europe, we have more democracy than in Europe".
What can you say to such people? How can you converse with them?

it shows how much he cares more about iran and hezbollah than Lebanon!
