ISRAEL WARNS RUSSIA

From Carl at Infidel Bloggers Alliance:
Israel has warned Russia that it has an electronic warfare device under development that is capable of neutralizing Russia's S-300 anti-missile system and that if the S-300 is sold to Iran, it will use the device against it thereby exposing Russia's own air defenses.

If Russia goes through with the sale of its most advanced anti-aircraft missile system to Iran, Israel will use an electronic warfare device now under development to neutralize it and as a result present Russia as vulnerable to air infiltrations, a top defense official has told The Jerusalem Post....

"Russia will have to think real hard before delivering this system to Iran, which is possibly on the brink of conflict with either Israel or the US, since if the system is delivered, an EW [electronic warfare] system will likely be developed to neutralize it, and if that happens it would be catastrophic not only for Iran but also for Russia," the defense official said.
If this is another "threat" against Iran, it certainly is a creative threat. Some are saying this is a way of putting pressure on Russia to agree to sanctions.

To me, this sounds like a clear "Let's roll" statement.
