Iran Ready To Produce 18 IRBMs
2005-12-19
Iran has purchased from North Korea components and material sufficient for the assembly of 18 extended-range Shihab-class missiles that could reach anywhere in Europe.
So that'd make 'em No Dongs, only with Persian lettering...
Western intelligence sources said Iran has combined components and material from North Korea with technology from Russia for Teheran's Shihab-5 intermediate-range missile. The sources said such a missile has been designed to strike targets at distances of 3,500 kilometers. "For several years, Iran talked about such a missile but did very little about it," a Western intelligence source said. "Over the last few months, that has changed significantly."
Not that they intend to threaten anybody, of course...

#12  I've been saying this for a while now; Iran and North Korea need to be declared testing ranges for advanced HEW - DEW anti-missile systems. Any unmanned vehicle transiting a 1,000 foot ceiling should be regarded as a practice drone.

#11  Big Ed:

When Bush referred to the Iraq rat-hole's "inclusive democracy" he was including his Iran controlled Shiites within the mix. Iran is getting uppity because they see Bush as their player-piano. And I have seen absolutely nothing to counter that view. Islamofascist hearts and minds are for bullets.

#8  And Bush does nothing except promote personal, social and international "inclusivism" for Islamofascist animals

Low blood sugar, CF? Have a nice dinner, you'll feel a lot better and your head will be much clearer.

#7  ...In a perfect world, we would advise the Iranian government that we will destroy them whenever we see one. After the tenth or eleventh busted missile, they might get the message - but i doubt it.

#5  And Bush does nothing except promote personal, social and international "inclusivism" for Islamofascist animals. Inclusivism is: war on counter-terror. Someone saw that schmuck coming. I wish Bush would crawl back into the oil-patch swamp.

#2  They only need one. Cause when it flys, somewhere in the Indian Ocean an Ohio Class SSBN is going to lose its load.
