Russia to sell 250 long-range Sukhoi-30 fighter jets to Iran

This is truly a disturbing report: It seems that Russia intends to sell Iran 250 long-range Sukhoi-30 fighter jets, along with refueling planes, giving Iran long-range offensive capabilities, including the ability to strike Israel and Europe. Russia recently supplied Iran with advanced antiaircraft systems used to protect Teheran's nuclear installations. At the time, Moscow said it reserved the right to sell Iran weapons, such as the antiaircraft system, that were of a defensive nature. the Sukhoi-30 is clearly a offensive capable weapons system. This is back to a real Cold War mindset with Russia, again, acting as the bad guy.
