Now the Russians are jumping into the Lebanese arms fest. According the LA Times:
Russia will give Lebanon 10 Mikoyan MiG-29 fighter jets as a donation and commit to supply the teetering Arab democracy abutting Israel's northern border with more war machines, an official told reporters today, according to Russia's Interfax news agency.
"As a trend toward stabilization of the situation has become visible, Lebanon has decided to intensify military-technological cooperation" with Russia, said Mikhail Dmitriyev, the director of Russia's Federal Service for Military Technological Cooperation.
Dmitriyev also said Russia could soon provide "ground equipment," such as tanks and artillery, to Lebanon.
"We consider the Lebanese army as a key element of political stability within this country and are ready to provide it with arms," he said.
