WikiLeaks: Russia gave Israel Iranian system codes
14:57 - 29.02.12
WikiLeaks has released an email exchange between employees of
Stratfor, the US-based global intelligence company, which reveals
Israel and Russia made a deal to swap access codes for defense and
surveillance equipment, Ynetnews.com reported.
According to the leaked document, Israel gave Russia the "data link
codes" for unmanned aerial vehicles that the Jewish state sold to
Georgia, and in return, Russia gave Israel the codes for Tor-M1
missile defense systems that Russia sold Iran.
In a document by a Stratfor employee dated February 2009 she says that
she had met with a "Mexican source/friend" who told her that Israel
and Russia had contracted a deal several years ago as part of which
Israel provided Russia with codes of UAVs it had sold to Georgia. In
exchange Moscow provided the Israelis with the codes for Iran's Tor-M1
aerial defense systems.
The document suggests that the deal was signed before the
Russia-Georgia war of August 2008 during which Russian forces invaded
Georgia. At the time it was reported that Georgia was using
Israel-made weapons.
It can also be understood from the document that the Georgians had at
one point realized that their UAVs were compromised and were looking
for a replacement for the Israeli made drones.
The Mexican source also addressed the S-300 aerial defense systems
which Israel and the West have spent years trying to dissuade Russia
from handing over to Tehran. The source said that Israel and Turkey
were collaborating very closely in regards to the system and that
since Russia sold them to Greece - Turkey's longtime rival - Ankara
has been busy tryinh to crack their codes.
He added that Ankara shared intelligence with Israel to make sure it
has an edge over Iran should it get the systems from Russia.
