Almost impossible to counter Iran's unique missile: IRGC commander
2015-09-17
[Iran Press TV] A senior Iranian commander has revealed that the country is in possession of a "unique" missile that is all but impossible to defend against.

"We have a unique ballistic missile, which might be owned only by the US and Russia; and countering this missile is almost impossible," Brigadier General Hossein Salami, the second-in-command of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), said on Wednesday.

The commander further said that the IRGC is in possession of drones with a range of up to 3,000 kilometers and with reconnaissance and offensive capabilities.

Elsewhere, Salami said the US bases in the region are within the range of Iranian ballistic missiles, adding that the movements of foreign forces in the waters near Iran are under the close surveillance of the force.

"Each US airbase, whose aircraft have the capability to reach Iran's skies, as well as their aircraft carriers are within the range of Iran's precision and unique ballistic missiles and drones," Salami said.

#6  Impossible to counter? I doubt that. Don't bring a knife to a gun fight.

#5  It's not so much the missile, as the stealth "donkey cart booster" it's launched from.

Whiteman? Barksdale?

There stuff might be able to reach Diego Garcia, though. Might not make it there, however.

#2  Perhaps hey could demonstrate their unique capabilities to a neutral third party - say the UN's IEA inspectors? Or are they just parading scary missiles through their Red Square?

#1  Brigadier General Hossein Salami

The general's seen lots of salami;
His missile (unique!) packs a whammy.
He's not just a swinger:
"I love-a to sing-a...
To make Uncle Sammy mo' hammy!"
