Two points: first, the missile shown in the Fox News article is an SA-5 Gammon, which dates from the late 60s/early 70s. Long-range missile, but virtually useless against a maneuvering target. Additionally, I haven’t seen tapered missile cannisters (like the one in the linked Tehran Times article) associated with the S-300. Most of the cannisters are perfectly cylindrical. The tapered cannister would be (most likely) associated with a surface-to-surface missile, versus a surface-to-air system.

Shhh! ExNewsExSpook: I want the Iranians to scare the shit out of any of our sane military and foreign policy leaders (if there are any).

I want the American people to crap in their pants knowing that Iran is building its’ own “WALL” of protection behind which it can launch nuclear missiles of varying distances with impunity.

Carte The Chicken Shit and his state department band of cowards started this and now Obama is letting the Iranians finish it on their terms. Seems the Democrats like Islamic psychopaths and the Republicans don’t have the balls to take them out.

I would, in a heartbeat, and then have a toasted bagel with cream cheese and lox to celebrate the new Green State of Iranglass.
