美国无人机还敢来？俄称已准备好向伊朗出售S400
2019-06-29 09:49
俄罗斯：美宣布对伊朗新制裁措施 拉夫罗夫-俄将劝说美伊展开对话
俄制S-400防空导弹系统
【环球网报道 记者 徐璐明】俄罗斯联邦军事技术合作局新闻处28日表示，俄罗斯已准备好向伊朗出售S-400防空导弹系统。
据俄罗斯卫星网6月28日报道，军技合作局新闻处在“军队-2019”国际军事技术论坛其间对记者表示，我们对出售S-400防空导弹系统的谈判持开放态度，包括与伊朗的谈判。同时，该新闻处表示，S-400相关设备不受联合国安理会2015年6月20日通过的2231号决议的限制，也没有收到伙伴有关这个议题的正式请求。
俄方透露或将向伊朗出售S-400导弹这一消息的时间也非常微妙。6月20日伊朗在霍尔木兹海峡上空将一架美国海军的RQ-4C“海神”无人机（美国海军版“全球鹰”）击落。据国外防务媒体《防务新闻》的报道称，美国空军参谋长大卫·戈德费因2019年6月26日表示，伊朗击落美国无人机事件并没有减缓美国空军在中东的飞行计划，美军将继续执行飞行任务。S-400作为目前最强的防空武器之一，对付防护能力较弱的无人机目标可以说是轻而易举。
目前伊朗装备最先进防空武器是俄罗斯为其提供的S-300PMU2导弹，倘若真的引进S-400防空系统，作战能力将大幅提升。除了从国外引进先进防空系统外，伊朗也在不断“自主创新”，推出各种新型国产防空武器。例如这次击落美军无人机的导弹，就是伊朗国产的RAAD中程防空导弹。该导弹是在俄制“山毛榉”防空导弹基础上仿制而来，射程达到50公里、射高为27公里。
俄制S-400导弹对于美国而言可以说是“眼中钉，肉中刺”，美国一直在极力阻挠他国购买这一先进的防空武器。美国日前因土耳其坚持购买俄制S-400防空系统，以停止交付F-35战斗机为威胁，并暂停了为土耳其培训F-35战斗机飞行员，对土耳其咄咄相逼；另外对于同样坚持采购S-400防空系统的印度，美国则是软硬兼施，在发出制裁威胁的同时又放出“利好”，声称愿意为印度提供“萨德”以满足其防空反导需求，还可以向印度出售先进的F-35战斗机。返回搜狐，查看更多

Russia ‘ready to deliver S-400 to Iran,’ no request made yet
Fri Jun 28, 2019 01:52PM [Updated: Fri Jun 28, 2019 02:02PM ]

Russia says it is ready to deliver advanced S-400 air defense missile systems to Iran but says it has not yet received any official request from the Islamic Republic for such a sale.
“We are open for discussions on delivering S-400 Triumph air defense systems, including to Iran. Especially given that this equipment is not subject to restrictions outlined in UN Security Council’s resolution issued on June 20, 2015,” a representative of the press service of the Russian Federal Service of Military-Technical Cooperation told Sputnik on Friday.
The official, whose name was not mentioned in the report, was referring to the UN Security Council Resolution 2231 (2015), which was adopted four years ago to endorse a nuclear deal between Iran and six other countries at the time, including Russia.
Iran has already received the earlier version of the missile defense system, the S-300, whose procurement had been withheld until the adoption of Resolution 2231 even though Russia had undertaken to deliver the systems to Iran under an 800-million-dollar deal reached in 2007.
The resolution terminated all past Security Council sanctions on Tehran, including those that prohibited the supply of arms.
In a report published on May 30, Bloomberg claimed Russia had rejected Iran’s request to buy S-400 missile defense systems, “concerned that the sale would stoke more tension” in the Middle East.
But a Russian deputy prime minister rejected the Bloomberg report back in early June.
The Russian official who spoke on Friday also stressed that Russia had “not received an official request from our partners on this matter yet.”
Russia denies snub, says got no Iranian request for S-400
Russia has not received any requests from Iran for its S-400 air defense systems, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yury Borisov says.
The newer remarks come amid heightened US hostility toward Iran. US President Donald Trump has withdrawn America from the deal with Iran, has imposed sanctions on the Islamic Republic, and has several times threatened to attack the country.
Despite the US’s withdrawal, the other signatories to the deal have remained in it, referencing international law, including Resolution 2231, for cooperation with Tehran.
The S-400 is an advanced air and missile defense system intended to engage incoming hostiles at ranges of up to 400 kilometers.

Russia’s S-400 has the potential to both embarrass Washington and upend the traditional US alliance system in the region.

The US stopped receiving more Turkish pilots for an F-35 training program, Reuters reported on Friday. The same day Russia said it had not received a request from Iran to purchase the Russian-made S-400 air defense system. Both reports relate to Russia’s S-400 sales and its use of the advanced defense system as a form of Moscow’s diplomacy in the Middle East. Turkey agreed to purchase the system and is supposed to take delivery of it this month as part of a growing Turkey-Russia alliance. This has angered the US.
Not long ago Russia and Turkey were on different sides of the Syrian civil war, with Russia supporting the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad and Turkey backing the rebels. But the two countries have grown closer in recent years, with energy deals and also working closely on ceasefires in Syria. Russia understood that selling its air defense system to Ankara was a game changer. Turkey is a member of NATO and is also part of the US F-35 warplane program. Yet Washington has said that the S-400 purchase could scupper the F-35 relationship. Turkish pilots began training last year, but in late May reports emerged that the US might end additional training. Reuters says that is exactly what has happened.

The US stopped accepting additional Turkish pilots. Two US officials said that the decision could be reversed and that it only affects upcoming groups of Turkish pilots and maintenance crews. “There had not yet been a formal decision to halt the training of the Turkish pilots and maintenance crews now at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona.” But that could be the next step. Four pilots are currently being trained.
The US is unsurprisingly angry. The S-400 is built by a US adversary and having the same system in a country with the F-35 could enable crews to learn how to confront the advanced US plane. This would affect the whole point of having an advanced aircraft that is supposed to avoid systems like the S-400.
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has repeatedly said that Turkey will not cancel its deal. He reiterated his claim on June 4. “We have made a deal and our determination is evidence. It is out of the question for us to walk away from this,” he said. He also indicated Turkey would consider purchasing the US Patriot air defense system, a deal that was discussed in December 2018. Meanwhile the US has discussed a working group to look at the S-400 controversy with Turkey, but the US has also said there is no change in its view that the purchase is unacceptable.
On May 30, the first reports emerged that Russia had turned down a request by Iran to acquire the S-400. Bloomberg noted that Iran’s Foreign Minister had visited Moscow on May 7 and that Moscow had rejected Iranian interest in the system. The US and Iran escalated tensions in May as the US accused Iran of threats in the Gulf. Russia didn’t want more tensions in the region.

Russia’s policy of reducing tensions is part of a wider policy in Syria. It has agreed to meet with the US and Israel for a trilateral meeting this month. It is also seeking to reduce tensions in Syria amid increased clashes between Israel and Syria. There have been four incidents, including airstrikes by Israel, reported by Syrian media between May 27 and June 6. Russia doesn’t want another conflict in Syria because its Syrian ally is already fighting a Syrian rebel offensive in Idlib. Russia and Turkey signed a ceasefire agreement in Idlib in September 2018, but that agreement is quickly becoming tatters with massive clashes between the Syrian army and rebels there. This is important for Russia, because Russia has a military base in Latakia, near Idlib. So any tensions in the south between Israel and Syria affect Moscow’s aims for the region. This also relates to wider tensions between the US and Iran and Israel and Iran. From Moscow’s perspective a regional war between the US and its allies and Iran would be a disaster.
Although Russia may be pleased that its S-400 deal with Turkey is going through, it appears to be less interested in cementing an alliance with Iran using the S-400. Deputy Prime Minister Yury Borisov told Sputnik on Friday that Moscow has not received a request from Iran for “delivering its S-400 air defense systems.” Turkey’s TRT and other media reported this Russian claim. Borisov met with a Syrian delegation on June 5, according to Syrian media, which shows that Russia’s main interest is Syria at the moment, not Iran. Borisov called the reports about Iran and the S-400 “fake news.”
The Russia response to claims about Iran’s interest was reported on Fars News in Iran. The reports noted that Moscow had said there had been no offer from Iran.
If the Russian response to rumors about Iran’s interest are accurate it still shows that across the region the issue of the S-400 and Russia’s role is of paramount importance. The rumors about Iran’s interest may have been designed to test the US and Israeli response. Iran isn’t the only other country that wants the system in the Middle East. On May 15, Russia’s TASS news agency reported that Iraq was seeking to purchase the system. The US is closely involved in training and equipping Iraqi forces, which would mean another US ally in the region was becoming part of the S-400 club. Last year, CNBC reported that Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Algeria, Morocco and Egypt had all discussed the S-400. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt and Morocco are all US allies, with Saudi Arabia a key military partner and Qatar home to a US base. The US has also supported Egypt’s military since the 1980s. Russia’s S-400 has the potential to both embarrass Washington and upend the traditional US alliance system in the region.

Iran Wants Russia's Deadly S-400 Air Defense System from Russia
And Moscow seems to have said no. Here's why.
by Stratfor Worldview Follow @Stratfor on Twitter L
What Happened: Russia has reportedly rejected a request from Iran for delivery of S-400 missile defense systems over concerns that the deployment would increase security tensions in the Middle East, Bloomberg reported May 30. In the meantime, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said May 31 that Moscow was willing to facilitate a nonaggression pact between Iran and Gulf Cooperation Council states.
Why It Matters: Although Russia has been backing Iran in its standoff with the United States, Moscow is seemingly balking at the sale of S-400 systems to Tehran. However, Russia may offer Iran assistance in different areas, including other forms of security assistance, nuclear energy and economic aid.
Background: Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov met with his Iranian counterpart in Tehran on May 29 to discuss the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and other regional issues.
