Syria buys thousands of anti-tank missiles from Russia*

Damascus is close to concluding a large deal with Russia to procure
thousands of advanced anti-tank missiles for the Syrian army.

Some estimates say the deal is worth several hundred million dollars and
involves several thousand advanced anti-tank missiles.

Such a development suggests that Israel's diplomatic efforts to block
the sale have failed, the Israeli daily Haaretz has reported.

For years Syria secured anti-tank missiles from the Soviet Union and
later from Russia.

During the Zionist regime's war against Lebanon last summer, Tel Aviv
claimed it found proof that Syria had transferred to Hezbollah advanced
Russian-made anti-tank missiles from its arsenal.
