Israel Gives No Evidence That Hezbollah Fights With Russian Weapons — DM
 
MosNews
Israel never provided Russia with evidence that Hezbollah militants used
Russian-made anti-tank missiles in Lebanon, Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov
said Friday, RIA Novosti news agency reports. 
“Nobody has ever shown us evidence that Hezbollah has Kornet anti-tank
systems,” Ivanov, who is also deputy prime minister, said as he began his
trip to Russia’s Far East and the United States Thursday. 
Kornet is a third generation missile system designed to destroy tanks,
including those fitted with explosive reactive amour, fortifications,
entrenched troops, as well as small-scale targets. 
Ivanov said that in recent years there have been rumors about the sale of
Russian-made weaponry to Middle East countries and the possibility that
some of these weapons ended up in the hands of terrorists. 
“All these accusations simply reflect internal political problems in
Israel,” he said, adding that they were “complete rubbish.” 
Ivanov said Russia should not assume responsibility for weapons sold to
foreign countries during the Soviet era, and critics should be more
careful in determining the origin of weapons.

A chi crederemo di piu': alla BBC o ai negazionisti di professione?
*****And a journalist from the London-based Daily Telegraph newspaper 
reports also seeing abandoned Kornet missiles in Lebanon*******.
The Kornet was first shown by the Russians in 1994 and represents 
state-of-the-art technology.
It has either an optical or a thermal sight - effectively "riding" a 
laser beam to its target. It again has a tandem warhead.
It has a range of up to 5km (three miles) and is said to be able to 
penetrate armour up to 1,200mm thick.
The Kornet has been exported by the Russians to only a few countries, 
including Syria.
And all the evidence suggests that the Syrians have passed them on to 
Hezbollah.
Israel is so concerned that it has despatched a team of officials to 
Moscow to show the Russians the evidence of what they say can only be 
Syrian weapons transfers.

Officials in Israel disclosed Friday that a senior delegation visited 
Moscow this week to complain that Russia sold sophisticated laser-guided 
Kornet anti-tank weapons to Iran and Syria, which passed them along to 
Hezbollah.
Russia disputed the charge, saying it kept tight controls on such sales.
U.S. officials acknowledged that they have talked to Turkey about 
cutting off the shipment of arms by Iran across its territory, a route 
that was used during this summer's fighting.

Weapons trail leads to Syria and Iran
Abraham Rabinovich, Jerusalem
August 16, 2006
ADVANCED weapons supplied by Syria and Iran have been uncovered by 
Israeli forces in abandoned Hezbollah positions in Lebanon, helping 
account for how the guerilla force defied the might of the Israeli 
armed forces in the month-long war.
 London's Daily Telegraph reported yesterday the weapons were found 
outside the town of Ghandouriyeh, east of Tyre, after 24 Israeli 
soldiers were killed pushing Hezbollah fighters from the strategic 
hilltop town in one of the war's fiercest confrontations.
Outside one of the town's two mosques, a van was found filled with 
green casings about 2m long. The serial numbers identified them as AT-5 
Spandrel anti-tank missiles, the report says. The wire-guided weapon 
was developed in Russia but Iran began making a copy in 2000.
In the east of the village, the newspaper found evidence of 
Syrian-supplied hardware.
In a garden lay eight Kornet anti-tank rockets, described by Brigadier 
Mickey Edelstein, the commander of the Nahal troops who took 
Ghandouriyeh, as "some of the best in the world".
Written underneath a contract number on each casing were the 
words:******* "Customer: Ministry of Defence of Syria. Supplier: KBP, 
Tula, Russia," the paper reports.********
Brigadier Edelstein told the Telegraph: "If they tell you that Syria 
knew nothing about this, just look. This is the evidence. Proof, not 
just talk."
Anti-tank weapons like those found by the Israeli troops accounted for 
the bulk of Israeli military casualties in Lebanon.
The weapons were not just used against Israel's heavily armoured 
Merkava tanks, disabling dozens, but against buildings in which Israeli 
troops had taken up positions, often bringing the structure down on 
them.
The Kornet is laser-guided and can hit a target 5km away. Its double 
warhead is capable of penetrating the armour on
most of Israel's advanced tanks.
Israeli officers told the newspaper that Hezbollah fighters had 
received thorough training in Iran in use of the weapons and had 
wielded them efficiently.
The discovery of the origin of the weapons proved to the Israelis that 
their enemy was not a ragged and lightly armed militia but a 
semi-professional army equipped by Syria and Iran to take on Israel, 
the report says.
