US accuses Russians of aiding Iraqi defence:
The United States believes Russian technicians are helping Iraq jam crucial satellite signals needed to guide bombs and military aircraft as US, British and Australian troops advance on Baghdad, a senior US official said.
The official says Washington has evidence personnel from a Russian firm are in Iraq attempting to help set up and operate a sophisticated system that interferes with the US global positioning technology.
“The system is complex and there is evidence that they (Russian technicians) have been trying to bring this system online and help the Iraqis operate it,” the official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
“We are extremely upset and have raised this at very senior levels with the Russians.”
The official stressed there is no indication the Russian Government was involved in the efforts but said Moscow had been “extremely unhelpful” in addressing the US concerns.
The official confirmed a report in The Washington Post newspaper that said complaints about the sales of the jamming devices by the Moscow-based firm, Aviaconversiya, began in June 2002.
At the time, the official said, the Russians denied the company even existed despite the fact it maintained an Internet site and was the subject of extensive media coverage in Russia.
If this is true we should bomb the factory in Russia.
