"Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on Saturday called for the production of exclusive military hardware for the country, asserting that in order to counter a potential attack, Iran should employ weapons the enemy is unfamiliar with..." Khamenei can breathe easy, at least as far as a potential attack from the U.S. is concerned. That has been definitively taken off the table tonight. But will the Iranians accordingly call a halt to their jihad? That appears somewhat less likely.
"Iran equips navy with stealth submarine," from PressTV, November 4 (thanks to drcancerman):
Iran successfully manufactures new stealth military equipment after the Leader of the Islamic Revolution urged a military breakthrough.Iran's Defense Minister Brigadier General Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar said Tuesday that Iranian experts had produced new stealth micro submarines, vessels, and lightweight aircraft.
Brig. Gen. Mohammad-Najjar said the new military developments come in line with the Leader's command, ordering exclusively developed equipment to enhance the country's defense industry in the face of possible threats.
Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on Saturday called for the production of exclusive military hardware for the country, asserting that in order to counter a potential attack, Iran should employ weapons the enemy is unfamiliar with....
Ding Dong Reichsmarshal Khamenei said:
And WE could employ weapons YOU should be very familiar with.
Why all the saber rattling? One B-52 will always be much better than anything you could conjure up (or steal).
Bring it on!
Apologies to everyone!
I will now retract the above post, now that the Mahdi has been elected.
Tea and scones, anyone? My treat.
The bearded old Muslin just keeps up laughing....delusional to the end.
Our Muslim President (kidding), can beat up your Iranian Muslim President with both arms tried behind his back.
Obama will be fine....& will kick ass if needed.
Iran, does need a black eye though, as a reminder.
There is still some time untill january 20th.
I don't think Bush will hand over Iran untouched into the hands of 'peacemaker' Obama.
So, my guess is that the new president gets a nice welcome present somewhere late November, begin December.
I can't help thinking, if they'd actually invented these things, they wouldn't mention them.
Maybe someone should tell the Iranians that subs have also been know as "pig boats."
lol, I think he might be telling fibs.
Stealth sub, what they have the physics to absorb sound do they, or bend it?
What they mean by stealth is streamlining, which in Iranian technological terms means taking the deck gun of some WW2 relic.
I'm really really scared.
Probably right up there with the "Saegheh" fighters they developed, which were nothing but v-tailed F-5 Tiger knockoffs and were obsolete 30 years ago. Are there any Hadiths that reveal the secrets of stealth?
