I don’t believe that the Iranians have anything close to a ‘cruise’ type missle.

[azhenfud]

They have a genyoowine imitation cruise missile.

[Phsstpok]

They have purchased Chinese Silkworm cruise missiles in the past and I believe that they licensed manufacturing rights.

[Romneyfor President2008]

They’ve had Silkworms since the 80’s. :-)

Both Iran and Iraq used Chinese Silkworm anti-ship cruise missiles in the 1980’s.

That’s OK, their checks clear the banks in China and Russia.

The Iranians have for some time fielded the Chinese "Silkworm" anti-ship cruise missile. It wouldn't surprise me if the Iranians were building their own copies by now.

Apparently that’s a big reason we can’t let Pakistan fall to Islamofascists - Pakistan has much better missile tech.

? No, but they do have a Tom Cruise type A-Hole in Sean Penn.

Actually, they do. Two or three models. You can metasearch them on Web defense-oriented sites, or right here on FR -- they were discussed in at least one thread.

The Hisbollah thugs test-fired one of the smaller models at Israeli gunboats during their "hostage mini-war" in Lebanon. It worked, they gloated, they promised death and destruction to the United States Navy.

[maineman]

I agree.
