They developed this on their own no doubt with help, from say the Russians? bwahahahahahaha!

[BenLurkin]

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.

[dinok]

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.

[Boundless]

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.

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.

[G.Mason]

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!

[ Iran fires world's fastest underwater missile ]

I see, with a very slow or non existent Navy.. a FAST underwater missle?.. Irans Navy are just targets anyway..

[Concho]

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.

[edpc]

100 meters per second = 325 feet per second. 325fps x 60 = 19500 feet per minute. 19500 fpm x 60 = 1, 117,000 feet per hour. Divide that by 5280 and you come up with 221.5 mph.

Seems like there would be too much drag, but I suppose it's possible for a very short distance. I really doubt they've come up with anything like this on their own.

[LoudRepublicangirl]

While we are blowing up their nuclear weapons can we also blow up this torpedo while still in it's launcher?

[dighton]

If Iran had this weapon, surely they’d want to spring it as a nasty surprise, which makes me suspect they don’t.
