#1 defence cooperation?? Does he mean something like a mutual defence treaty?!? What's he trying to do, start World War I?

#2 When this story first came out the talk was the Russians where going to sell the SA-18 manportable missle and SA-10 (Patriot-like) missle system. I have not heard if the SA-10 sale is still a go. The manportable SA-18 is troubling; however, kind of localized for air defense. The SA-10 gives Syria a very credible and capable air defense network. Has anyone heard if that sale is still on? I had heard they where scaling it back to allow only non-networked vehicle borne variants of the SA-10 for sale.
