Russia reportedly woos Iran on arms

LONDON, September 27 (IranMania) - Russia is intensifying efforts to sell weapons to Iran while such sales remain legal amid mounting pressure on the Islamic state over its controversial nuclear program, the daily Kommersant said.
...
It said top officials within Russia's military-industrial complex decided to concentrate on arms sales to Tehran for two reasons:

"Firstly, as many weapons as possible must be sold to Iran before an international embargo against this country comes into force."

Secondly, should the United States decide to go to war in Iran, Russia wants Iran to be well-armed to ensure that US forces become at least as bogged down there as they already are in Iraq, the daily said.

Vermutlich wird es sich dabei in erster Linie um Luftabwehrsysteme und den iranischen Spionagesatelliten handeln. Wüsste nicht, was sonst noch kurzfristig auf der Agenda bzgl Anschaffungen für die Streitkräfte stehen könnte...
