| Russians in talks with Israelis to buy unmanned reconnaissance drones |
| 2008-12-17 |
| Russia could buy reconnaissance drones from Israel, a top general said Tuesday, after the military was caught short by Georgia's own Israeli drones in a war this summer. The head of Russia's general staff, General Nikolai Makarov, confirmed that talks were under way after a corresponding report in the Kommersant newspaper. |

| #7 Doubt this report. Israelis have $1 billion invested in the BTC pipeline which passes through Georgia, and distributes oil to Israel through the Turkish terminal. Until Saakashvili's fellow "Rose Revolutionaries" abandoned him after the August debacle, there were 2 Israeli citizens in his Cabinet. However, Russian pressure in the Balkans has kept extreme Muslims from halting economic contact with Israel. The Turkish PM has proposed an all Caucasus unity front, and could convince Israel to support same. Russia is a contact party in the fledgling scheme. Saakashvili is a dead duck. Now, if only the West could unite with Russia and Serbia against the Islamist garbage dumps in Bosnia and Kosovo. (Don't swallow Michael Totten regurgitate; he is a paid liar) |

| #3 I wonder if they may be planning on reselling some of them to their trading friends. Probably could make a tidy little profit in a deal with Iran. |
