Iran develops new air defence system
2007-03-17
TEHERAN - The Iranian military has developed a new air defence system with a boosted ability to hit targets by firing two missiles simultaneously, state radio said on Friday.

“This new air defence system which can shoot one or two missiles simultaneously... has been designed by army ground forces and tested successfully,” the radio said. “It has high mobility and flexibility, and can pursue aerial targets in any climate. Simultaneous firing increases the chances of defence missiles hitting” their targets, it added.
That would be the Tor-M1 system the Russians sold them ...

#5  Well, maybe LockMart is. Raytheon isn't, though. [wag]

(No offense to hard-working LM engineers, such as My brother, who design many great products.)

#4  "designed by army ground forces"
I'm sure that's advanced technology. Lockheed Martin must be shaking in their boots.

#3  Now they can deplete their missile inventory twice as fast.
Most likely with identical results.

#1  Wow! Two missiles at once! That would work against most EU countries, I guess.
