JERUSALEM, Aug. 8 (UPI) -- Israel is preparing to take countermeasures if Iran obtains a sophisticated anti-aircraft missile system from Russia, sources say.

If Iran obtains a Russian S-300 anti-missile system as it has said it will, Israel would deploy a secret electronic warfare device under development that would expose flaws in the system, an unnamed military source told The Jerusalem Post.

The newspaper says Russia denied selling the anti-aircraft system to Iran and U.S. officials have said they don't believe it will happen this year. But nevertheless, Israel stands ready with a system of its own that would neutralize it, the Post's source said.

"Russia will have to think real hard before delivering this system to Iran, which is possibly on the brink of conflict with either Israel or the United States, since if the system is delivered, an (electronic warfare) system will likely be developed to neutralize it, and if that happens it would be catastrophic not only for Iran but also for Russia", the defense official told the Post.

The official said the chance its prized S-300 system could be exposed as vulnerable could prevent Russia from delivering one to Iran.
