Here's the link to the Jane's article:

Jane's is very reliable. They're saying:"Tehran is actually in the final stage of negotiations with Belarus for the acquisition of two surplus trailer-mounted towed S-300PT (SA-10A 'Grumble') systems."

"deployed near Minsk as part of Belarus's operational air-defence configuration"

"the inflated price reflects an awareness of Iran's urgent requirement for such systems"

Gee, Iran, why the panic? Can't get Moscow to sell you the S-300 low-to-high altitude air-defence systems you asked Santa for?

“This is untrue. Such information can only induce laughter. There are no grounds for the story and no grounds for any sale,”

Ooooh! Is that 'advanced' Soviet system with compact magnetic information storage system and nixie-tube display?

American imperialist dogs will shudder at such display of advanced Soviet technology! da! :-P

I guess the Syrian raid shook them up.

Belarus not selling S-300PT to Iran

No, but Russia is.

From Belarus With Love? Doesn't have the same ring to it.
