Russia agrees to supply Mi-24 helicopters to Lebanon
Sat, 27 Feb 2010 10:39:52 GMT

Russian authorities have agreed to supply 10 Mi-24 advanced military helicopters to Lebanon instead of 10 MiG-29 fighter jets they had previously pledged to provide.

According to a report published by al-Nahar news website, the decision was taken after Lebanese President Michel Sleiman asked to receive the state of the art military choppers and the advanced missiles they carry in place of the Russian-made warplanes.

President Michel Sleiman returned Friday afternoon to Beirut concluding a 2-day official visit to Moscow, the first ever visit by a Lebanese head of state to Russia.

On Thursday, Sleiman met with his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev and the two signed a memorandum on military cooperation.

The Russian move is seen as a slap to the United States over its longstanding military relationship with Lebanon. American officials had occasionally intervened in the past when other countries offered to supply weapons.

Lebanon's air force consists of only a few 1950s-era jets and a small number of Vietnam War-era helicopters. The MiG-29, often compared to the American F-16 fighter, is vastly more powerful than anything Washington was considering providing to Lebanon. The most recent Pentagon offer, in terms of air power, is a Cessna Caravan, a single-engine prop plane.

the thing i wonder about Russia's military supply to Arab countries is, do they send inferior hardware.

that's a great way to win a war up front - make sure your opponent has equipment that's known to jam, for example, under certain weather conditions.

given the extent of Zionism in Russia, both with the oligarchs, with Jewish emigre's like Avigdor Lieberman who maintain criminal influence in Russia - i just wonder if they pull the strings so that Russia ends up sending crap hardware, 100% serving Zionist interests.

and putting on a big war show to boot.

now if Russia would give some game changing show stopping hardware to Arabian countries for their defense, that would impress me.  i wonder what's going on with the other systems that they sold to Iran.

Hi abdulMaria,

That's an excellent point. In a sense, "Peace" in the Middle East (world) is dependent on this question. And it doesn't get enough attention.
Some people believe Putin-Russia is fighting against the Jewish "NWO" while others see Putin as a  "Strawman" who builds up Israel's enemies with "junk" weapons. As I see the Cold-War as a big "Jewish" Military-Intelligence-Political  drama between the "East" and the "West" to allow the Idiot Jews to compromise both sides, I sometimes get the feeling this is going on with Putin. But at other times I'm surprised by Russia (S-300s promises).
