Pissing Off The Russians
Well, you can’t please everybody.
A video presentation of Israel’s IAI concern at the Euronaval-2012 international exhibition, which is now underway in France, outraged the delegation of the Russian military designers.
In this video Russia’s missile cruiser was used as a vessel of a potential enemy. The video shows an Israeli system repelling three missile attacks of the cruiser and destroying it with one anti-ship missile.
“That is completely misguiding” Deputy Head-Chief Designer of special equipment, the North Design bureau Vyacheslav Senchurov said.
What is not clear to me is whether the Russians are offended we used them as the enemy or that we believe our technology can beat theirs.
Update: No word yet on whether the Russians were also pissed at the Democrats.

I do understand them. America, for instance, is a much bigger threat to Israel’s existence than Russia.
