IRAN SUPER WEAPON U.S.A. NAVY CARRIER KILLER PERSIAN GULF ANTISHIP BALLISTIC MISSILE

http://www.defensenews.com/story.php?i=5642659 --------------- Iran is mass producing a new ballistic missile that can travel at more than three times the speed of sound and hit targets on the high seas, top commanders said on Feb. 7.

Cmdr. Mohammad Ali Jafari, who heads the elite military force, the Revolutionary Guards, said the missile - named "Persian Gulf" - had a range of 300 kilometers.

"Iran is mass producing a smart ballistic missile for sea targets with a speed three times more than the speed of sound," state news agency IRNA quoted Jafari as saying about the new missile.

He said the missile was "undetectable and can't be neutralized by enemies," without specifying the name. "It has very high precision in destroying targets," Jafari added.

"As the enemy's threats will likely come from the sea, air and by missiles, the Guards have been equipped with capabilities to neutralize the enemy's advanced technology," he said, according to another Iranian news agency, ISNA.

Iran's missile and space programs have sparked concern in the West that such advanced technologies, combined with the nuclear know-how which the nation is acquiring, may enable Tehran to produce an atomic weapon.

Tehran denies its nuclear program has military aims.

The new missile can be fired "from surface ballistically and can hit enemy vessels from a high altitude," Amir Ali Hajizadeh, head of the Guards' air force wing told Fars news agency.

"The missile is named Persian Gulf ... its warhead will carry 650 kilograms of explosives," he said, adding that the missile was powered by solid fuel and designed by the Guards.

Footage on state television showed the missile being fired atop a mobile launcher from a desert terrain.

The announcement of the new missile comes as Iran holds celebrations to mark the 32nd anniversary of its Islamic revolution that toppled the U.S.-backed shah.

Iran uses the run-up to the Feb. 11 anniversary to tout its scientific and technological achievements.

In a separate function, Iran unveiled four new home-built satellites and engines of a rocket.

Meanwhile the head of naval Guards' naval forces, Ali Fadavi, issued a warning that Iran will hit back if it came under attack.

"The Islamic republic has the ability of blocking the Strait of Hormuz if threatened," Fadavi told Mehr news agency.

"We will deliver a very firm response if any powers do the slightest thing to hurt the security of the region."

Iranian military officials regularly warn of blocking the Strait of Hormuz - the route through which 40 percent of world's oil supply by sea passes - in case Iran comes under attack.

every weapon our government lets the world know we have is 20yrs old or more we have weapons most people cant imagine no worries lol

@sekeller1 currently the seaRAM is the update to aegis which allows them to be shot down.AEGIS though was no tthe problem its software mostly it was on the hardware side it was lacking whicg with the RAM missiles it addressed until the new Rail guns are operational.Funny thing. when rail guns are put into service i imagine it could engage boats up to 200 miles away and hit them.

I believe this is the Russian "Sizzler". Iran bought a few of these. It travels at high subsonic speed and accelerates to Mach 3 as it approaches its target. The US Navy's Aegis defense system was not capable of defending against it a few years ago, but defenses were being developed, so probably we need not worry.

ISRAEL = TERROR

[crocfme]

I'd imagine most modern warships could probably deal with 15 or 20 of these missiles at a time; You'd have to fire more than 15 or 20 to a salvo score a hit.

@WaWoWieWa overweight not actually. The way they defined overweight in the past if different than today because the left changed th eway it is measures instead of pounds its BMI which is not as accurate. According to their flawed measuring system yeah,but to the other system no. the IQ though is due to school curriculum being dumbed down to make happy workers and future tax payers. School in the US is training to be a good worker only. I dislike the left for doing all that.

@WaWoWieWa hahahahh your arguments are so pathetic. get off your ivory tower. Every country in the world has done something immoral. Youre one of those people that when a miracle happens you think it was planned instead of accepting what happened. Get off the conspiracy theory
