Iran Test-Fires Missile Able to Duck Radar
2006-03-31
EFL
Iran's military said Friday it successfully test-fired a missile not detectable by radar that can use multiple warheads to hit several targets simultaneously, a development that raised concerns in the United States and Israel...
But state-run television described the weapon as "ballistic" — suggesting it is of comparable range to Iran's existing ballistic rocket, which can travel about 1,200 miles and reach arch-foe Israel and U.S. bases in Iraq and the Persian Gulf region.
The Great Satan had better attack soon. Very soon.

#9  But, but, the mullahs said to call it Mohammed's Anti-infidel Sword and it would be invincible like the DEL>profit prophet himself!

Muslims have very advanced technology. Just think of all of the cool high-tech products built in the muslim world, like, ummm, oh yes, the camel saddle! And really small coffee cups.

Silly infidels, we will own you!

#8  No way, the timeline of normal indigens missle dev is too soon - Iran is either bluffing or has gotten "advisory" andor tech support from foreign nations, which PC means it is expecting some kind of mil-action this year, against the US or Israelis or both. Israel has already stated publicly iff the West or UNO does nuthin' this year to stop Iran's dev of nuke weapons it will.

#7  It was almost a month ago they said they had received a Chinese missile able to evade the Arrow system. However, no missile can run fast enough to miss electronic jamming, lasers and other airborne countermeasures.

#3  Yeah right...

Where'd they get the tech base for building radar invisible stuff?

Where'd they get the MIRV tech?

Where'd they get LRCM tech that's at least as good as or better than what the US has today on the Tomahawk?

Develop all that stuff in-house did they?

I doubt it. I doubt the missile exists or does even half of what they claim - and even if it does half, I doubt it evades US AEGIS style systems.

#1  LOOK OUT! IT'S THE MIRV GRYPHON! http://plans.rocketshoppe.com/srw/srwMG/srwMG.htm
You know if it landsharks to its target it won't be picked up on radar.
