 U.S. sanctions against two Russian state-owned defense companies were
imposed for fear of competition, a deputy general director of the
country’s Federal Service for Military and Technical Cooperation said on
Sunday, Aug. 6. Russian officials slammed the sanctions as groundless and
unlawful.
The U.S. State Department said on Friday, Aug. 4, that it had introduced
sanctions against Russia’s state-controlled arms exporter Rosoboronexport
and top aircraft manufacturer Sukhoi over their dealings with Iran. 
“First of all, the Russian Federation is strictly observing all the norms
of international law in the sphere of military and technical cooperation
with foreign countries,” Vladimir Paleshchuk, official from the Service
for Military and Technical Cooperation said, quoted by RIA Novosti.
“Secondly, Rosoboronexport and Sukhoi are two large suppliers of Russian
arms. I have no doubts this situation makes some rivals unhappy.” 
Both companies earlier refuted the U.S. accusations that they were
supplying technologies, which Iran could use to produce mass destruction
weapons.
The Russian Foreign Ministry called the sanctions unacceptable and said
they threatened partnership with the United States. The Defense Ministry
said they were groundless, and suggested they were U.S. retaliation for
Russia’s agreement last month to sell more than $1 billion worth of arms
and military aircraft to President Hugo Ch?vez of Venezuela.
The U.S. decision could have important implications for US-Russian
commercial relations. Boeing, the US aircraft group, is working with
Sukhoi on developing a regional jet and is a big customer of Russia’s
VSMPO-Avisma, one of the world’s biggest titanium suppliers, which
Rosoboronexport is taking over.
Sergei Chemezov, Rosoboronexport’s general director, told Russian
television his agency had shipped only defensive weapons to Iran, in
compliance with international law. “Many foreign companies, including
those from NATO member states, have conducted similar supplies,” he said.
Sukhoi said it had not shipped any products to Iran since the 1990s and
echoed the defence ministry’s accusation that the sanctions were a
reaction to Russia’s dealings with Venezuela.
“To all appearances, the Americans regard us as a very serious rival in
the arms market,” particularly in traditionally US-dominated markets such
as Latin America, a Sukhoi official told NTV television.

 reaction to Russia’s dealings with Venezuela
Se non ricordo male, sei mesi fa i russi hanno passato un importante 
contratto con l'Iran per diecine se non centinaia di missili terra-aria 
che erano molto evidentemente destinati a proteggere gli impianti 
nucleari iraniani.
Quindi appellarsi al Venezuela o alla concorrenza e' una mera balla. 
Probabilmente i russi vogliono proteggere l'Iran da un attacco americano 
o israeliano.

No, perche' nelle forniture di velivoli si *inizia* con tot, eppoi si 
continua con X tot, in particolare nei missili.
Del resto non ci troviamo con una quantita' spaventosa di materiale 
russo o cinese che cade in territorio israeliano ogni giorno?
Fesso.
