Iran to enhance explosive power of missile warheads
2020-03-29
[ALMASDARNEWS] Defense Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami says Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
is planning to increase the explosive power of its missile warheads and boost their speed.

Announcing defense projects for the current Persian calendar year which started last week, Hatami said Iran’s ground-to-ground missiles have reached ultimate accuracy, adding there is work underway to upgrade their impact.

The work includes "increasing the explosive power of warheads by enhancing their payload", he said. "There are also very good research programs on their speed, maneuverability and agility," Hatami added.

The minister also outlined Iran’s plans to unveil air-launched cruise missiles (ALCMs) this year.

Cruise missiles, he said, will become more responsive and capable of being deployed while on the move.

He touched on the unveiling of Khordad 15 air defense system and the production of precise and tactical missiles as "turning point" in Iran’s missile capabilities.

The locally-made Khordad 15 was used in Iran’s downing of a sophisticated Global Hawk surveillance drone after the US aircraft violated Iran’s airspace over the southern province of Hormozgan in June last year.

The defense minister also referred to Iran’s January 8 missile attack on the US-occupied Ain al-Asad airbase in Iraq’s western Anbar Province.

Using their pirated copies of Photoshop, the Iranians churned out masses of photographic 'evidence' of advanced missile tests and a huge arms build-up in Lebanon. In an unfortunate mix-up at IDF headquarters, the fake pictures became co-mingled with the real pictures and lead the IDF to bomb the fuck out of Hezbullah.

Ironically, producing fake evidence of designing new missiles and distributing them to their cats-paws had exactly the same outcome as producing said missiles and distributing them to the Hezbullies.
Ineffable are the Ways of Alan.
