Iran tests own model of Russian S-300 missile
2010-11-19
TEHRAN - Iran has successfully tested its own version of a missile system that Russia declined to supply amid concerns Tehran might be seeking nuclear weapons, a military official was quoted as saying on Thursday.

Russia infuriated Iran in September when it cancelled the S-300 missile order after heavy lobbying from the United States and Israel, which said the system could be used to help Iran shield its nuclear facilities from possible future air strikes.

State-run Press TV quoted a commander of IranÂ’s elite Revolutionary Guards as saying Tehran had adapted another Russian-made missile system to perform like the more sophisticated S-300.

“We have developed the system by upgrading systems like the S-200 and we have tested it successfully,” Brigadier General Mohammad Hassan Mansourian said, according to Press TV’s website.

All most many Some Western analysts doubt IranÂ’s ability to replicate the S-300, a precision, mobile, long-range air defence system that can detect, track and destroy ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and low-flying aircraft.

#4  See also WAFF > IRAN MISSLE SYSTEM [Iran "S-300" ADMS] TESTED, RHETORIC SHARPENED ON EVE OF NATO SUMMIT [Lisbon].

ARTIC > AHMADINEJAD = "NATO HAS NO FUTURE" + "IS INCAPABLE OF PLAYING ANY ROLE IN FUTURE DEVELOPMENT". NATO also also routinely has the "WRONG INTERPRETATION OF EVENTS" [conclusions] as based on it NATO also routinely possessing or collecting the wrong information???

* WND > [Alan Keyes] 2012: THE TEST FOR AMERICAN LEADERSHIP.

IMO, "CRUCIBLE" is a more appropriate term for Alan Keyes.

* ALso from WAFF > [Pro-AL QAEDA] PALESTINIAN MILITANTS THREATEN ISRAEL IN HEBREW. "Ansar-al-Sunna" Group.

ANSAR AL-SUNNA = JIHAD AGZ ISRAEL WILL NOT STOP, Israel's killing of AAS MEMBERS will not bring SECURITY to Israel; ISRAEL WILL CONTINUE TO BE ATTACKED WID ROCKETS, ETC. UNTIL ISRAEL LEAVES PALESTINE [Destroyed?].

* SAME > TURKEY HAS NATO BY THE B *** [Groin] | NATO LEADERS TO AVOID CITING IRAN AS A MISSLE THREAT.

ARTIC = NATO SECDEF Rasmussen says there is NO DOUBT THAT MISSLES ARE PROLIFERATING.

IMO Artic also read, NUKE-WMDS/NBC-CBRN(e) MILTECHS.

* SAME > {Haaretz] HERES WHY ISRAEL SHOULD NOT ATTACK IRAN NOW.

NUTSHELL = 'Tis TOO EARLY = PREMATURE, as NO ONE IS READY FOR THE POSSIBLE MIL, GEOPOL CONSEQUENCES, i.e. many in Israel + US Govt. + ME Region + NATO [EU] + UNO/UNSC.

OTOH, IMO RADICAL ISLAM, IRAN + MILTERRS, is proceeding full-speed wid efforts to indrectly or indirectly destabiliz the MUSLIM GOVTS-STATES AROUND ISRAEL PROPER + DOMINATE LOCAL, REGIONAL POLICIES REGARDING THE US-ISRAEL.

1960's-70's GUAM TAOTAMONAS, TEXAS-SIZED ASTEROIDS + "CUSTER'S LAST STAND", etc.

#2  Aha! I can tell this one's photoshopped because the two middle missiles have the same trails after them!

I guess we can't even trust Iran now.
