It's got big rims and a system too.

Israel might bring us the biggest Christmas present of all this year.

How much longer can they take the goading from IRAN & the Nutjob?

Just think- Carter could have taken care of this problem in 1979. The coward didn’t. I am convinced that Nutjob was the leader of the Iranian rebels who took our embassy people hostage.

Of course they have. Like with the last missile, they got a great deal on Airfix plastic kits.

They’re now looking for some cheap glue.

“The Iranian-made missile system is an upgraded version of the anti-aircraft Russian S-200 missile system and has the same capability as that of the Russian S-300 missile,” the television reported.

That statement is foolish and unbelievable. The S-200 started life in the early 1960s. The S-300 in the late 1990s. You mean to tell me the Iranians were able to leapfrog 30+ years of missile development in a few months? (since the S-300 deal went sour)

Never mind the obvious computer and radar system advancements...consider propellant chemistry and composition advances, metallurgy advances (motor casings), materials science advances (rocket motor throat), etc. etc.

The S-300 is a very different system than the S-200. It's not like hot-rodding a car for better performance. You basically have to start over from scratch. That's not so good. Unless they have had a very extensive testing program they are prone to making all the same mistakes we (anyone who has developed high performance missiles) have made. They're also likely to have made a lot of mistakes in the command and control, radar software, etc. (just like us). There is a definite learning curve to "getting it right" and getting it right the first time on a home-grown system is very, very unlikely.
