1. Great they got the technology then supply iran
reza shah ,   tehran   (11.28.10)
With S300 under the table and the russian benefit both ways Iran got what it wants too
2. Israel should keep the UAVS but buy the S300 for itself
zionist forever   (11.28.10)
$1 billion + the canceling the sale of the S300 in exchange for Israeli UAVS would be a bargin for Russia. Russia spends $1 billion on Israeli technology which they reverse engineer and then make their own and sell it to Iran, Syria, North Korea and anybody else who wants to buy taking away Israel's strategic and giving Russia a product identical to Israel's to sell the the countries who would have bought from Israel. What we should do though is buy the S300 or the S400 which are some of the best air defense systems in the world and superior to both the PAC 2 Patriot Israel has. Whilst its not a dedicated missile defense system The S-300 is able to intercept about 100 targets at a time so its ideal if Hizbollah fired hundreds of guided missiles. Lets have Arrow to intercept long range ballistic missiles and something like the S300 for dealing with Hizbollah. We don't have to limit ourselves to US technology.
3. Israelis are idiots if this is true
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (11.29.10)
Obama has made it clear that he is willing to sacrifice every Jew to strengthen his alliance with the Saudis. Israel has no choice but to find alliances elsewhere: Russia, China, India. If the Russians were willing to sacrifice their Iranian ties for this technology, Israeli leaders are either idiots or American puppets for not agreeing.
4. You commenters here, russia got the deal
Oriv   (11.29.10)
You commenters here, russia got the deal, even better, they are going to fabricate the UAVs in Russia under contract. No need to reverse engineer, and as a bargain they didn't even need to cancel the S-300 deal. Thanks to our superior government of 7 nutcases that can make a bad deal go even worse than the worst case scenario! Thanks r----ds in our government!
5. Israeli, we are no puppets of anyone, but sure stupid voters
Oriv   (11.29.10)
Israeli, we are no puppets of anyone, but sure stupid voters to vote in EVEN more stupid people into government to rule us stupid voters!
6. Before you say deal to Iran was canceled, it went to Syria!!
Oriv   (11.29.10)
Before you say deal to Iran was canceled, it was not canceled, and was never supposed to go to Iran it was a bluff to get the UAVs cheap, and the armament went to Syria which is an Iran ally! And in the end the weapons will end up with Hezbollah in Lebanon targeting Israel even closer to home!
7. russian politics
boris ,   ny. us   (11.29.10)
don't depend on drones, only on oil. they built nuclear station in iran - they made money and pushed world to the war, if war starts they win again, because oil prices skyrocket.
8. I am confused. Story says Israel refused the offer and yet
leo ,   usa   (11.29.10)
Russians refused supplying Iran with S-300. So, what kind was the actual deal made?
9. Strange article... why would the Russians
seadog1946 ,   Shooters Island, NJ   (11.29.10)
forgo multi billion $ weapons/nuclear reactor construction deals for a $1billion weapons platform... they reverse engineered US computers/software in the 70/80s with plain old industrial espionage, and acquired nuclear weapons the "old fashioned" way.
10. Fool
Mansoor ,   Delhi India   (08.26.11)
Once again Israel will b fooled by Iran,n ultimately drone will last in Iran hands..
11. UAV technology
Isidore uneze,MD. ,   Abuja,Nigeria.   (11.23.11)
why not do it the 'old fashion' way....steal the technology. Unleash the FSB and let them get the job done!
12. UAV technology
Isidore Uneze,MD. ,   Abuja,Nigeria.   (11.23.11)
