World panics over Iran's new 'super' missiles

2011-02-18

I saw this story posted elsewhere. It is the first time I have seen this publication. I couldn't tell if the author was praising or just having some fun in regards to this countries pronouncements about it's military prowess.
Iran has made yet another announcement about the development of a new type of weapon. The Iranian administration claimed that it was going to launch the mass production of new ballistic missiles. According to Chief Commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, Brigadier General Mohammad Ali Jafari, the missiles, called the Persian Gulf, develop the speed of 3,675 kilometers an hour and strike targets at a range of 300 kilometers. Jafari also stated, in a classic Iranian manner, that the new missile was unreachable for enemies.

#4 As per ARTIC...

* "World learned about the appearance of another Superpower" > IMO 'tis a Statement which shows why IRAN SENT WARSHIPS TO TRANSIT EGYPT'S SUEZ CANAL.

RISE OF SHIA = IRAN/PERSIA-CENTRIC ISLAM.

* "Iran's defense technology is a Bluff that has no match anywhere in the World...".

HOW MANY TIMES IN WORLD MILPOL HISTORY WERE THINGS OR EVENTS, ETC, NOT SUPPOSED TO OCCUR ACCORDING TO EMPIRICAL, FACTS-BASED LOGIC + REASON, "REALITY" + "PRAGMATISM", BUT DID ANYWAY!

E.g. CHINA > Logic + Reason said that it wasn't supposed to send in masses of armed troops to militarily intervene agz MacArthur + UN Command in Korea 1950-1953, espec after the Scores of Milyuhns of deaths + extensive $$$ national damage it suffered before + during + just after WW2, BUT IT DID.

CHINA was supposedly too backward + didn't have the potent nuclear arsenal to fight the USSR vee the late 1960's Sino-Soviet Border Clashes, BUT IT DID .

It used to be called FACTS-BASED "MIS-CALCULATION"- GOVT(S). CAN HAVE ALL THE FACTS + INFORMATION, ETC. IT NEEDS TO HAVE, + STILL ROYALLY SCREW UP!

#3 Anonymoose - tht's very interesting. Back during the early part of the Iraq war I sent an idea sort of like that (shaped charges strung together at appropriate separation distance to synchronize harmonically) to a guy I knew at DARPA. Got a thank you, which was more than I wanted or expected.

#2 A while back, the US innovated a tunneling missile, with several cannon in its nose cone, allowing it to burrow through many meters thick reinforced concrete. It did one test that was a huge success, then there has been no, zero mention of it since.

#1 From the same folks that have developed super-cavitating torpedoes and have to photoshop their picture of mass missile launches.

Yep. I believe.
