At last month’s Moscow air show, Russia proudly displayed the Igla-S,
 its latest generation man-portable air defense system, or Manpads, 
which it is selling to foreign customers. The shoulder-fired missile is 
proving a hot commodity on the international market, and a major concern
 to the U.S. government because of the threat it poses to commercial and
 military aircraft. The irony is that the United States is desperately 
afraid that other countries will get their hands on the Igla-S (also 
known as the SA-24), even though the United States is having problems 
acquiring one for itself. 

The Igla-S has greater accuracy, longer range, and more lethality 
than its predecessor. It also has a dual-band infrared seeker and is 
more difficult to jam than older systems, a particular concern for those
 developing defensive systems. 

The Pentagon and the intelligence community rarely talk about their 
efforts to acquire foreign weapons, which they use to understand 
adversaries’ capabilities and to develop countermeasures.  Going under 
the innocuous sounding name of “Foreign Materiel Acquisition,” the 
Pentagon essentially funds arms dealers to go forth and find foreign 
technology for the U.S. military — and acquire it by whatever means 
necessary. 

In an article coming out this month in Defense Technology International,
 I look at BAE Systems’ Jam Lab, which builds systems designed to defend
 against shoulder-fired missiles. An important component of building 
such systems is getting a hold of an actual threat missile. That’s easy 
to do if it’s the U.S.-built Stinger, but it can be much harder if it’s a
 Russian weapon. Paul Squires, a senior principal physicist at the Jam 
Lab, told me that there was one modern shoulder-fired missile that the 
United States has not been able to “beg, borrow or steal.” (Though 
Squires declined to name the specific weapon, the SA-24 is generally 
regarded as the latest and greatest foreign Manpads threat.) 

One of the reasons the SA-24 may be so hard to come by is that Russia
 keeps relatively close hold on its latest technology. (It’s also highly
 possible that the U.S. government has, in fact, acquired an SA-24, and 
is simply keeping quiet about it.) But Venezuela, for its part, proudly displayed its SA-24s
 in a military parade earlier this year, and Syria is suspected of 
purchasing the missile from Russia, although neither side has yet to 
acknowledge it.</div>

During his recent visit to London and meeting with British Prime 
Minister Cameron, President Putin passed on a message to the US and 
France in response to their recent announcement that they will arm the 
[Al Nusrah] fighters in Syria. 
As Russia is a sovereign nation dealing with the 
sovereign, legitimate government of Syria, some new arms which have 
never left Russia before [never previously deployed in Syria] will be 
delivered to the Syrian military. 
The Patriot Missiles will be hit and repealed with S 300 SAM [already installed in Syria]. Putin also threatened to deliver the more advanced S400 anti-aircraft missiles (see image below) far superior to the Patriot missiles and ranked as the World’s most advanced air defense system.

He added that Russia will also supply Syria with state-of –the-art 24-Barrell rocket launchers which have a range of 60 km ranked as the most developed artillery weapon of its kind. 
He added that Russia will supply 400 of these launchers which will be able to destroy all targets around Syria’s borders.

A British 
intelligence report stated that Putin went to London bringing his own 
Russian cooked food and did not consume anything from Britain including 
water as he even brought his own water with him reportedly because he 
had concerns of being poisoned. 
</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1371561250413_42355">
The British 
intelligence site stated that Putin threatened to send other secret 
Russian made weapons to Syria which would tip the balance of power even 
further in favor of Syria and re-iterated that these weapons will not 
be used against Israel on condition that Israel will not participate in 
the war within Syria and neighboring countries. {Lebanon, Jordan]

Reportedly, the British PM’s response was very weak in relation to Putin’s threats. </div>
Putin’s response came just over 24 hours after Obama’s statement on Saturday that he was going to arm the Syrian resistance.

Putin clearly stated that the Middle East is going
 to witness a significant change.  Syria will be armed with weapons that
 have never been seen before [in the Middle East] including computer 
guided smart missiles that never miss their target.

He also added that Russia will supply Syria with 
Skean 5 ground -to-sea missiles that are capable of hitting and sinking 
any target up to 250 km off the Syrian coast.
