Russian Leader Calls For Urgent Delivery Of Anti-aircraft Missile Systems To Iran

(RTTNews) - Vice Chairman of Russia's Parliament Duma, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, has urged the fast delivery of the sophisticated S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems to Iran to enable the Middle Eastern country to defend its air space, the Press TV reported. Zhirinovsky was addressing the open session of Duma on Wednesday.

The new generation anti-aircraft / anti-missile weapon system developed by the Russian Almaz Central Design Bureau is capable of detecting and destroying targets up to a range of 250 miles. Experts say the S-400 can tackle cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and aircraft made with low observable materials such as the American 'stealth' bomber.

Zhirinovsky is on the record for horrid, anti-Jewish remarks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Zhirinovsky

Joel C. Rosenburg has a character in one of his novels (I think it is Epicenter) based on Zhirinovsky. At least I believe it is based on Zhirinovsky. There is too much resemblance. In the novel, this character ends up taking over Russia and leads the Gog-Magog alliance.

So he is the vice chairman of the Russian Parliament? I didn't know he had climbed that high. He is worth keeping an eye on. He can blow quite a bit of hot air, but often, not much comes of it.

Iran's army to be equipped with S-400

Vice Chairman of Russia's State Duma Vladimir Zhirinovsky has urged the fast delivery of the magnificent S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems to Iran.

Speaking at the open session of Russia's State Duma on Wednesday, Zhirinovsky stated, "S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems should be delivered as soon as possible to enable Iran to defend its airspace."

The S-400 is a new generation of anti-aircraft/anti-missile weapon system developed by the Russian Almaz Central Design Bureau.

The S-400 is capable of detecting and destroying targets out to a range of 400km (250 miles), such as aircrafts, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles, including those with a range of 3,500 km.

Sources confirm that the S-400 is capable of detecting and destroying aircraft made with low observable materials such as the American 'stealth' aircraft.

Russia provided Belarus with the same system a short time ago.

The S-400 is so sophisticated and powerful that it can change the military balance of a region since it is capable of hitting targets previously considered untouchable.

The anti missile system has the incredible speed of 4.8 km per second which is faster than a bullet leaving a Kalashnikov machine gun.
