Given that we do now know that the governments of Russia and other countries knew the precise location of the ship "Artic Sea" at all times, it follws that the transfer of any illicit cargo would have certainly been oberved by the military and/or intelligence agencies of several countries. As I understand it, an S-300 system is basically a big truck. Even missile from the S-300 system is pretty big and not easy to hide. If someone in Russia wanted to smuggle something like S-300s to Iran, an overland route (maybe using the Caspian Sea) seems more likely and considerabley less risky for the smugglers. The idea of smuggling S-300s on the "Arctic Sea" seems a bit unlikely. Maybe someone was smuggling something smaller - maybe small arms to some African state... That seems more believeable but without facts, still pure conjecture.

Its clear as it can be that western press never was democratic,free and truthfull...with cpecial attencion on any subject on Russia!Russia can sell anyone (almost) anything with respect on international law-S-300 came under that umbrela.Those kind of weapons never travel on boat for monts!They are usual loaded on planes-with protection wich follow..Russia has also border with Iran...Western press lies start in Usa than Uk-and than spread in rest"democratic"and "free"partner states... Western press is indeed a joke-many of they own people dont pay any attencion to them.RT shall ask for licence-same as Al Jazeera did in Usa-in those states, so their own people can see that is a true free,democratic and honest press look like! Their "inependent and free"fits their states government policy-same one(USA,UK) wich commit genocide(wipe out)on natives from 500 y. ago and stole their land-same one of today wich keep killing of innorcent people in Iraq and Afganistan under folse excuse on war on "terror"-9/11- was inside job...Their press got same "profile" as their states! Nothing new from"free press propaganda west"......
