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

Yep. I believe.

#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.

#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.

#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!
