The Wikileaks website is releasing more than five million documents, including intelligence-related email correspondences from the US intelligence company Stratfor. The emails are said to be between senior intelligence and military persons involved with the company from both the past and the present.
One of the emails includes information from a source that claims Israel gave Russia codes for UAVs that were sold to the Georgian army in exchange for codes for the Tor-M1 air defense system Russia sold to the Iranian army.
According to foreign publications, Iran signed an arms deal with Russia in 2005, which saw the procurement of medium-ranged air defense systems. According to the source, whose remarks were posted on Wikileaks, Russia transferred the communication codes for the systems to Israel, in exchange for codes present in the UAVs that Israel sold to Georgia.
The source is a former officer in the Mexican army, and is described as a reliable source.
Accordingly, the Georgians discovered the Russian-Israeli move, which is why they are now seeking a substitute for the UAVs they procured from Israel.
