#2 Some of the Russian "radar" installations are 60 acres or larger, especially the latest phased array sites. The radar in Azerbaijan is 400 feet long and about 250 feet wide at the base. It takes a medium-sized nuclear power station to power it. I'm sure the Azerbaijanis would like to control the power station, if nothing else.

I can't blame the Russians for wanting a new radar facing Iran - they've "empowered" the Iranians with nuclear capability, but have no control over the mad mullahs. Place the new radar at the head of the Caspian, pointing due south. That way, the Ruskies can both watch the Caspian AND any missiles rising from Iran - at least, until the US gets tired of being threatened and takes the entire mullocracy to task.
