Tehran (AFP) Dec 7, 2008

Iran said that it has test fired on Sunday a surface-to-surface missile during manoeuvres in the Sea of Oman, the Fars news agency reported.

A missile-launcher warship fired the medium-range, surface-to-surface Nasr 2 (victory) missile which hit its target at a 30-kilometre (18 miles) distance, according to the report.

The news agency did not elaborate on the specific range of the missile, only adding that it was tested for the first time.

Iran has test fired missle weaponry several times in the past few years.

Jeez. What with all the supersonic torpedoes, invisible battleships, intercontinental ballistic missiles, and such, they claim to have in their arsenal, this doesn't seem like a big deal.
