Russia is gifting fighter jets to Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon. It's no worse than what they're selling to Iran or Egypt and it's not all that different from what the US is giving to Lebanon. So why not, right? And at least Israel is showing its displeasure by selling cutting-edge UAV's to Russia - which Russia will promptly take apart, reverse engineer, and explain to Syria and Iran:

Also on the Russian front, recent reports suggest that Israel may be in the process of selling Hermes 450 UAVs to Moscow. (As you might recall, a Russian MIG 29 was said to have shot down one of these Israeli-made drones during the invasion of Georgia this past August). According to the Lebanese daily An Nahar, the Israelis aren’t pleased about the potential MIG 29 deal, but the UAV sale appears unrelated to this development. More likely, the Israelis are hoping the UAV sales provide some leverage in helping to convince the Russians to not sell advanced SA-20 anti-aircraft weapons to Iran.

Israel is mincing no words about these sales, describing them as an existential threat. So some people are suggesting that the UAV sales are a bribe. Because those Russians - once they're bought they stay bought. Which isn't true. But wouldn't it be great if it was?

I'd ask how the Russians feel about the whole thing but they're no longer allowed to have an opinion.
