I'm Predicting:

Russian wire services and other news agencies are spreading the word that Russia has just agreed to provide Lebanon with 10 MIG 29's.

Russia calls this an Aid Package to Lebanon.
What are the Russians thinking?
Lebanon barely has an air force.

In the end there will be one of two scenarios:

Scenario # 1: Israel or Syria will view these aircraft as aggressive enemy air craft and the region will be drawn into conflict.

Scenario # 2: The aircraft will be called to scramble when Israel patrols either out over the Mediterranean Sea or over parts of Lebanon and they will be downed in a dogfight.

Once again, Russia has made it clear that the sale of arms and opening up new markets is more important than safety and stability.

Giving MIGs to Lebanon is a gargantuan mistake.
