I fear that this is no joke -- the Russians may be using Iran as a catspaw to see how we counter the latest Russian technology.

This is looking all too much like Jeff Head's "Dragon's Fury" series.

No need to worry...as a nation we have no stomach for another war. The press and the democrats have seen to that. Iran will develop IBMS and we will live in denial until they use them against us. Then the same idiots who refused to see the wisdom of dealing with Iran now, will be complaining the loudest about how we failed to "do something" to defend us.

Maybe China with help From Ole BJ Clinton.
It will be decades before we know the all the damage done by the Jerk. He sold his country for Campaigan cash and the left thinks he is a god.

So was that footage on Fox actually of an Iranian test,
or did they just re-badge some Russian test footage?

The impending action might have only required inert PGMs
on the lines and substations, to power-down the nuke plants.

This late bit of sabre rattling pretty much assures that
the entire Iranian military will need to be neutralized,
with stuff that actually goes boom.

I'm reminded that during the cold war, Russia produced a very large bomber and at the May Day celebrations one year, had it circle Moscow for hours to make the west think there were many of them.

If the Iranians want to take on the US and Royal Navies, let them have at it.

You have to have a Platform to launch them. Any platform that launches anything at a U.S. vessel won't exist after the first shot. I feel confident that everything strategic has already been targeted.

Since that first shot would be an act of war. We'd have a hard time stopping the Admiral from taking out everything Iranian that might threaten his ships.

Let's see ... Iran has missles that radar cannot track ... electromagnetic pulse bombs ... super dooper torpedoes ... and God olny knows what else.

I suggest we surrender at once and that anyone reading this report to a mosque closest to you.


All hail Ali Babbles!

I do not possess a PhD in Physics, but I seriously doubt that it is possible to reach that speed under water. If that missle could be launched at that speed, even then, the laws of physics indicate that, that speed could not be maintained for any distance beyond a few feet. This sounds like hoopla to me.

Or it could be the Chinese behind this. One thing for sure, the Iranians didn't develop this missile.
Best way to increase weapon's sales is a sucessful war time demonstration
Or the whole thing might be a smoke and mirrors, Iran's way of warning us off
