Gerry    TOR M-1, S300   8/28/2008 8:25:11 PM

I read an article recently that said Israel had secretly told the Russians it had the electronics to shut down the TOR M-1, S300 system. And if Russia continued with its plan to supply Iran with the missles, it would sell the electronics worldwide. Russian sales to the third world as well as China are very important.

I suggest there's no particular reason to believe Israel, or even us for that matter, can just "shut down" any air defense system--particularly something relatively sophisticated and relatively new like the SA-10/20 and SA-15.

gerry -- hah! As if in today's age it's a big deal to re-work electronics designs. The average cellphone today has more complexity than a PAC system from 30 years ago. If the Russians want to give Syria a PAC capability, then I don't see how the Israelis are going to stop them. They can't even stop pizzeria's from being bombed these days, so I don't see how they're going to stop a resurgent superpower.

AHOY
maybe the CIA published the article Gerry read to let the Israelis know that the US knew about the secret communications between the two and maybe the conversation was not about electronics at all. And since the Russians cant operate UAVs in areas of  NATO operations or IMO keep a sattilite in space if the US did not wont it there,  it doesn't matter what any none NATO nation dose.
