1. Good
Kareem ,   Egypt   (12.26.07)
Iran is preparing itself for an expected Israeli pre-emptive strike.. which is good. Anything that causes damage to a pre-emptive strike will bring about another war failure..just like Lebanon :)
2. The Gog/Magog axis is gaining strength
ezekiel 38 ,   The Bible   (12.26.07)
3. CONSISTENT PURCHASE AND IN LINE
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (12.26.07)
As was expected,Iran had to obviously acquire the S-300 missile defence system.Having purchased the TOR MI system,it was expected that more powerful and long range ability to target incoming aircrafts,ballistics missiles etc had to be tackled.Very much in line and theoratically well designed defence measures undertaken.Aquiring these defensive missiles will also render a relief for the modest Air Force of the Iranians in dedicating their fighter aircraft for usage in other missions.
4. state-of-the-art air defense missile system
(12.26.07)
the missiles may be new, the electronics are from the late 90s
5. if it's that good, maybe Israel should buy some
ed ,   london UK   (12.26.07)
it sunds like a funky system, would help Israel defend itself against scuds, katyushas, Iranian warheads, a nd perhaps even kassams.
6. Game, set & match, Iran
Jerry ,   NYC, USA   (12.26.07)
This means the IAF will not be able to strike Iran's nuke sites. Game, set and match. Game over.
7. It won't work. Israel has mastered EMP warfare.
Dov ,   Zichron Ya'akov   (12.26.07)
Israel will find a way to fool the system like it did with the so called “state-of-the-art” Tor-M1 back in September when it turned the Syrian nuke site into a parking lot. And BTW, the new generation of the Arrow/Patriot system is far superior to anything in the Russian arsenal, including the S-300.
8. Hope it works as good as the system
Joe ,   Ohio, USA   (12.26.07)
the Iranians bought for the Sryians. The Tor-M1 air defense missile didn't do too well against Israel earlier this year. Hell the Sryians didn't even know what hit them until the Israeli's told'em! Barrel rolls all the way back to Turkish air space! HAH, LOSER ARABS and Muslims!
9. brrrr . . . those ruskies are making relations ~C~O~L~D~

12. Why don't we supply groups in the F.S.U.
jason white ,   afula,israel   (12.26.07)
that are against rasPutin with training weapons and explosives. Let the russians bleed. We should supply Poland,the Ukraine,Hungary,ect with weapons systems to defend against soviet future soviet attacks.
13. Idea: let's arm Chechnya!
Steve ,   UK   (12.26.07)
14. Israel and America
Mati ,   far away   (12.27.07)
Are Israel and America the only ones that are supposed to fight them while Europe tells them to reconsider?Think about that.
15. DOV...............GIVES THE ANSWER.....#7
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (12.27.07)
What a way to appease yourself,Dov.Do you mean to say that the S-300 missile system,which took Russia almost 5 years to develope is already obsolete?And further,are the Iranians so daft to purchase these missiles?I wonder,Dove
16. putin
Babushka ,   far away   (12.27.07)
Just negotiate with Putin
17. Russia should supply themselves with a dose of freedom and
Freedom ,   canada   (12.27.07)
democracy. The last election there was not up to snuff, at least in my opinion.
18. Little known fact: All software to guide these
Lev Bronshtein ,   Moscow, Russia   (12.27.07)
systems was developed in Israel. I'm laughing at Iranians. They got outsmarted once again..
19. DOV
yoffy ,   tel-aviv   (12.27.07)
One of the biggest problems of Israel is it's arrogance, This was the problem in the 2006 war. A smart person keeps quiet and thinks. The situation is very dangerous for Israel right now and nobody should take it lightly.
20. Its time the west fund anti putin parties, and spy again

BRIGHT AND SUNNY TEMP: 30,000F WINDS: 2000 MPH (FROM ALL DIRECTIONS) CHANCE OF SURVIVAL: NONE ...and now for sports, let's go to Don Tucker...
