Russia to send Iran anti-aircraft systems in early 2007 (The Gog-Magog war?)

Russia has pledged to begin delivery of its TOR-M1 anti-aircraft system to Iran in 2007.

Officials said Russia's state-owned arms export agency Rosoboronexport has relayed its commitment to begin TOR-M1 deliveries to Iran by early 2007. They said the delivery schedule has been approved by the Russian Defense Ministry, and the first platforms could be sent over the next few weeks.

"Russia does not violate any accords and is resolved to fulfill it," Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov said.

In 2005, Iran ordered 29 TOR-M1 short-range air defense systems from Almaz-Antey in a reported $1.4 billion deal. Officials said Iran would receive batteries sufficient to equip one Iranian air defense battalion. This would include four command posts, 16 combat vehicles, trainers, surface-to-air missiles and spare parts.

The sources said Iran, the third largest military client of Russia, has demanded the immediate delivery of TOR-M1 to help protect the nation's nuclear facilities from Israeli or U.S. air strikes. They said the first facilities to receive the air defense system would be the nuclear installations at Isfahan and Bushehr.

The TOR-M1 could intercept low- and medium-altitude targets, including unmanned aerial vehicles. Almaz-Antey said the system could track 48 air targets simultaneously and fire two missiles at a time toward two separate targets. The system has an interception range of 12 kilometers and a detection range of 40 kilometers.

Personal note: Are they in the know about possible preemption by Israel possibly in 2007? Will they have a nuclear weapon ready-maybe a small atomic bomb? Are they actually preparing for war already in 2007? Could Russia also be in it? Yes i think. I am not trying to speculate but Ahmadinejad's ambition is well known-to wipe Israel off the map. To usher in the Mahdi by igniting global conflagration & chaos. This might just be some news about they arming themselves for a war to come. Yes, 2007 is the year to look forward to. I look forward to it. So many things prophetic happening. The nearest event will be the destruction of Syria & Gog-Magog war. Watch & don't be left behind!
