#3 Maybe Vlad is upset that Russian missiles could shoot down Russian planes, and not be caused by 'Friendly Fire'?

I'm reading Ardennes 1944 by Antony Beevor and by New Years Day, 1945, both sides were shooting at anything that approached them - "If it flies, it dies".

#4 Not likely. He doesn't care if Israel suffers

But he cares if Russia suffers and Russia will suffer when IAF demonstrates what most advanced Russian systems are ineffective.

#5 The history of Russian weapons in the hands of Arabs trying to use them against the Isael is not stellar.

#6 wikipedia says the sa-22 is yet to be delivered to Iran, but has been delivered to Iraq, Syria, and Jordan. (Oh, and is also used in Syria by Russians).

Any of those could have been the original purchasers, IMHO.
