Hizballah shops for anti-tank missiles in Moscow
Hizballah shops for anti-tank missiles in Moscow
A Hizballah mission, which arrived in Moscow Tuesday, Oct. 28, was taken around Russian state of the art anti-tank missile factories, including KBP in the town of Tula southwest of Moscow, DEBKAfile’s exclusive military sources report. The Lebanese visitors were treated to a live fire demonstration of various types of missile. They then ordered 3,000 missiles of different types and returned home Saturday, Nov. 1.
Tehran is footing the bill.
Our sources disclose that the hardware inspected by the Hizballah officers included 9M133 (Nato-coded Spriggan AT-14) which can be launched by helicopter and Kliver, which is an upgraded Kornet-E mounted on vehicles. The Lebanese Shiite terrorist shoppers also placed a large order for RPG-2 rocket-propelled grenades made by Bazalt. In the 2006 Lebanon war, the older RPG-29 used by Hizballah was responsible for most of the hits suffered by Israeli tanks.
Last month, Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert traveled to Moscow to ask Russian leaders to refrain from selling arms to Syria and Iran, countries at war with Israel. Moscow only promised to reconsider weapons sales capable of upsetting the balance of strength in “sensitive regions” and then went right ahead to sign big arms deals with Damascus and Tehran – and now Hizballah.
Sunday, Nov. 2, defense minister Ehud Barak warned Syria that arming Hizballah with new anti-air weapons would force Israel to “consider its position.”
Several weeks ago, DEBKAfile reported that Syria had supplied the Shiite group with anti-air missiles supported by radar stations. They are already deployed on two Lebanese peaks, Mt. Sannine and Jebel Barukh, which Hizballah controls.
Our military sources stress that Barak’s “warning” will not deter Moscow, Damascus or Hizballah who will taken it to mean that Israel is not preparing to act for now.

Debka with a lot of BS... Like this one
In the 2006 Lebanon war, the older RPG-29 used by Hizballah was responsible for most of the hits suffered by Israeli tanks.
Russia has been at war with Israel for decades now. Israel is not stupid, they know who are supplying their enemies and they know who their real enemies are. Hezbollah etc etc are just proxy fronts for Russia. The trouble between Israel and Russia will escalate soon. Watch this space.
Debka are no better than Pravda in my opinion. The only thing i read out of Israel is Jerusalem Post..(jpost).
They were a good source when they first started but now they just make it up as they go along, talk is that all the ex military intel people who staffed DEBKA have moved on and have been replaced third rate hacks.Originally Posted by RoyB
By who is that "tabloid" site run?
Yes, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran... they are all KGB agents plotting against Israel, everyone knows that Russia has nothing better to do than attack a country 1/10000 its size
So then please explain why the russians are so keen on destabilising the region by selling state of the art war material to terrorist groups? Why does Russia always veto UN security councel measures against Iran? Why is Russia selling nuclear technology to Iran? To make a quick buck and then duck? Think again Einstein. The KGB does not exist anymore and we all know Russia has nothing better to do than attack a country 1/10000 its size in Georgia. The middle East, Israel, offers far greater influence oppurtunities for Russia than Georgia. You need to read up some!Yes, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran... they are all KGB agents plotting against Israel, everyone knows that Russia has nothing better to do than attack a country 1/10000 its size

You do realise that Russia has its own interests. If Russia really wanted to **** Israel over, they could do a hell of alot worse. The prospect of attacking Iran wouldn't even be comprehendable if Russia decided to arm them properly.
That is not accurate. Do you know how well Israel is armed? Iran is not in a position to attack Israel even with all of the war material Russia has to offer. Iran's main problem is the fact that they do not possess a nuclear arsenal. Israel do. Russia cannot supply that because they will provoke a **** storm from the West and that is something they cannot afford. Cool temperaments in Diplomatic circles are all that is preventing an all out war between East and West. Russia and Iran will have a gap blown out of their history if they provoke an all out nuclear deal. Russia does not have the capacity to take on the Israelies otherwise they would have by now. Israel is armed to the teeth and the US is there to supply in all the war material they would ever need if the time arose.
Israel will attack Iran if they continue to avade nuclear inspectors, just give them time to exhuast their diplomatic means. Iran wont stand a chance.
Debka are posting a lot of bull****, that true. but sometimes they report something that the mainstream media will post only few weeks later (like the report on Syrian forces on the Lebanese border, they posted it few weeks before anybody else did)
whatever you say bub
I stand by my statement: if Russia properly armed Iran, Israel would have no chance of attacking them and being successful.
What do you " properly armed Iran"? explain please
You give the Russians far to much credit. What happened to the Russian economy when they invaded Georgia? It virtually collapsed. Russia were quick to realise their folly and retreated within the time frame negotiated by the French. Russia cannot afford it.
BTW, what is the nature of this super powerful Russian war material that will wipe Israel from the face of the earth? The only Russian war production that has ever been envied by the West was their SAM's and a certain nuclear type submarine which class I cannot remeber. And SA captured their SAM technology in the 80's and this was transferred to the US. I think the West is on par with that type of technology. Whats left? Ah, the sub, yes well I think the West has got that avenue covered as well.
