ALARM - Russia started to deliver missiles TOR-M1 to Iran
MOSCOW - Russia started to deliver systems of ground-to-air missiles TOR-M1 to Iran, brought back Friday the Russian news services quoting of the sources within the complex Russian militaro-industrialist.
how is this different than supplying Cuba with nuclear missles a few years ago
Fedel wanted to live.
Just makes no sense....cutting your own throat.
More fun with "I don`t poison anyone" Putin.

First Tor-M1 air defense systems delivered to Iran - source
MOSCOW. Nov 24 (Interfax-AVN)
Russia has begun delivering Tor M1 air defense systems to Iran within the framework of an earlier signed agreement, a source in Russia's military and intestinal complex told Interfax-AVN on Friday.
"The deliveries of Tor M1 to Iran have begun. The first systems have been delivered to Iran," the source said, adding that the Iranian soldiers who will operate the systems were trained in Russia.
Rosoboronexport did not comment to Interfax-AVN on the report on the deliveries. "We do not comment on the information," a representatives of the press service of the company said.
"Earlier Russian officials stated that Iran is a sovereign state, a member of the UN and League of Arab States, and no international sanctions prohibiting it from receiving defensive arms have been imposed," he said.

"military and intestinal complex"
Chuckle...We know this should read: military and industrial complex.
The TOR-M1 looks like a serious threat to Isreali F-15/16s as well as cruise or other missles? Noted the three missle strikes on same target. This system's strengths apprear to be speed (acquisiton & delivery ) and accuracy.
Question its' range and vulnerability to ECM, etc.
Unilateral Sanctions against Russian shipments to Iran. If something tries to get into Iran, destroy it.
All American/Israeli aircrafts are way beyond the reach of the TOR-M1. This is no real threat to our planes.
"Sources" say the Russians gave us the key to this system. We can shut it down at will.

JASSM > Tor
I think he referred to the assasination of the former spy in London. That was hardly about capitalism, rather classical criminal bolshevism.
There's another video on a Russian Arms Site of a TOR making a three-shot volley at an A/C...first hits the engine exhause, second hits the debris, third hits the ejection seat....a very very nasty SAM..... don't get within 20-25km of one.
Have a link? I'd really love to see that. Thanks.

It's at the very end of the video this page and you almost miss it when the Credit line shows up, but it's there
World War III, you mean?
IV
Um...one is nuclear and one isnt?
Very different. The SA-15 is a short-to-medium range anti-aircraft missile.
Wait. Russia is selling POS hardware for top-dollar? No way!
I guess what I was trying to say is that Russia has supplied weapons TO OUR ENEMY's every time we may have to engage them
weapon caches our always filled with AK-47's for instance

A rogue Russian spy is killed in mysterious circumstances in London. Some of the Russian president’s leading domestic opponents are exiled, imprisoned or murdered. The Kremlin, in the grip of a steely former KGB colonel, destabilises unfriendly neighbouring countries, temporarily severing gas supplies to Ukraine and bullying Georgia.
Is this the start of a new cold war?
A useful point of departure is Winston Churchill’s famous speech in 1946 at Fulton, Missouri, which was widely seen as signalling the start of the real cold war. The world has changed almost beyond imagination in the intervening 60 years; but some truths that Churchill spoke that day remain as valid as ever. Speaking freely, having been voted out of office the year before, Churchill warned the world of the “expansive and proselytising tendencies” of the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin. “From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the continent,” he told his audience, including his host, President Harry Truman.
“Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of central and eastern Europe. Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest and Sofia, all these famous cities and populations around them lie in what I must call the Soviet sphere, and are all subject in one form or another, not only to Soviet influence but to a very high and, in many cases, increasing measure of control from Moscow,” he said.
Churchill went on to warn that the Soviet threat was not confined to Europe but was global thanks to the spread of communist fifth columns working in “complete unity and absolute obedience” to directions from the Kremlin. Strong Communist parties threatened to undermine western European countries, such as Italy and France, and exploit the turmoil in the far east, particularly in China. The west must unite and strengthen “the sinews of peace”. His speech helped spur western governments into forming the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation in 1949, which deterred the Soviet threat until the Soviet Union collapsed.

"World War III, you mean?"
Afraid so. Everyone seems to be "lining up their ducks" for the inevitable global conflict. I like SolidWood's idea. Let's either get it on or pull out.
Dear Vlad,
Remember Beslan? Wonder who funded it? Wonder who funds the Chechen rebels?
Have a nice day...
