Iranians Mulling Alternatives to S-300, and keep on Mulling, Try the BBB………
“TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran is likely to consider other possible options for replacing the sophisticated S-300 air defense missile system if Russia refrains from delivering it to the county, a senior Iranian lawmaker announced on Tuesday. "Iran enjoys a high level missile technology" and S-300 would not be the end point to Iran's efforts in acquiring or developing advanced missile defense technologies, Rapporteur of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Kazzem Jalali told reporters. Moscow signed a contract with Tehran in 2007 to supply the powerful S-300 missiles to Iran but it has refrained from delivering the system to the county due to the US and Israeli pressures……..”
Maybe they do have rival systems, as he claims, or maybe not. But they sure are pissed because the Russians aren’t delivering. The Russians are not saying “nyet”, but they aren’t saying “da” either. They are playing both “good cop” and “bad cop” with conflicting statements. All that after pocketing the hundreds of millions of dollars of the cost of the missiles, which they are in no hurry to return.
Maybe the Iranians can file a complaint at the Better Business Bureau.
