Syria-Lebanon-Iran
First reaction - or last reaction?
2007-09-18
Six hundred Iranian Shihab-3 missiles are pointed at targets throughout Israel, and will be launched if either Iran or Syria are attacked, an Iranian website affiliated with the regime reported on Monday.

"Iran will shoot at Israel 600 missiles if it is attacked," the Iranian news website, Assar Iran, reported. "600 missiles will only be the first reaction."
More like the last reaction, I think. There probably won't be too many more opportunities for a reaction left after the Israeli counter-strike

EMP would only degrade a missile THAT HAD an electronic guidance system.

gorb, I believe Kassam's guidance systems are the sophisticated point and shoot variety. Immune to EMP.

#4  600 is not an exagerration of the number of Iranian missiles which can hit Israel - if you count the Kassams, etc. they've loaned to their Hizbully buddies in Lebanon.

#3  Spook86 takes a look at Iran's claim of 600 Shihab-3's, and concludes it's a bit of an exaggeration...

#2  I guess we'll just have to make sure an EMP takes them all out then.

I doubt they'll have all that stellar a success rate.
