#1 Question -- is this the same system that Syria had when, in Sept, Irasia kinda sneaked in on them?

#2 Another question : considering how friendly Croatia is towards the US (since we helped them drive the Serbs), what are the chances that the S-300 systems that they sold to Iran might have some interesting modifications, say to the targeting software?

#3 Another question : considering how friendly Croatia is towards the US (since we helped them drive the Serbs)

Considering that in the Croatian pantheon the Ustahis are at the top and considering that the Ustachis were allied to the Nazis and shared their goals it is quite logical that they provide weapons to those want to wipe away the Jews.

#4 All the super cool and expensive sounding missiles in the world aren't going to help much if the radar can't see the plane. Long live stealth!

Or if they're blown to bits by cruise missiles.

#6 According to the Web magazine Necenzurirano, Libyan Naval ships were also docking in the Croatian port city of Kraljevica to transfer the system to Iran.

It'd be a shame if something happened to those ships on the way to Iran. Maybe some Somalian pirates will go after them. Yeah. Somalian pirates. That's it. With torpedoes. It could happen.
