Video - Iran Launches Surface To Air Missile.

From Javno:

Iran said it test-fired a new generation of surface-to-surface missile on Wednesday and that the Islamic Republic was ready to defend itself against any attacker.

Iranian Defence Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar said the Iranian-made surface-to-surface Sejil missile had "extremely high capabilities" and was only intended for defensive purposes.

He said it had a range of close to 2,000 km (1,200 miles), almost as far as another Iranian missile, Shahab 3. That would enable it to reach Israel and U.S. bases in the Gulf.

"This missile test is in the framework of Iran's deterrent doctrine," the official IRNA news agency quoted him as saying.

"It will only land on the heads of those enemies ... who want to make an aggression and invade the Islamic Republic," said Najjar, who did not mention any country by name.

Iran's English-language Press TV said the Sejil missile had two stages and was of a type that used combined solid fuel.

Military experts say 'new' Iranian missile is just an old one with a different name

Michael Evans, Defence Editor

Washington denounced the claim by Tehran today that it had test-fired a new surface-to-surface missile with a range of 2,000 kilometres (1,200 miles), capable of reaching Israel and US bases in the Gulf.

Mostafa Mohammad Najjar, Iran’s Defence Minister, said the new “Sejil missile” had “extremely high capabilities”. He was quoted as saying that “it will only land on the heads of those enemies who want to commit aggression and invade the Islamic Republic”.

Despite the claims of a new weapon system, Western experts said it was probably just another name given to the Shahab 3 missile which had been test-fired on previous
The timing of the latest launching was seen as a deliberate move by Tehran to try and deter either Israel or the US from taking military action against Iran over its suspected nuclear weapons programme before President Bush hands over to Barak Obama on January 20.

Gordon Johndroe, White House spokesman, said: “Iran’s development of ballistic missiles is contrary to United Nations Security Council resolutions and completely inconsistent with Iran’s obligations to the world.”

He said Iran should refrain from further missile tests “if they truly seek to gain the trust of the world”.

Andrew Brookes of the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies said: "I think the Iranians just keeping on rejigging the same missile and putting a new logo on it. It's basically the Shahab 3 with a different name, and the purpose of the test firing is to tell the world, 'don't forget us', we have missiles that can reach 2,000 kilometres."

"However, the launching of these missiles is not that meaningful because the Iranians have not developed an advanced minituarised warhead to fit into the front end, unless they are getting help from North Korea or Russia, and Moscow says it is not supporting Iran's missile programme. So the missiles are rather like the Second World War V2 bombs which scared people but didn't cause mass casualties," he said.

Duncan Lennox, editor of Jane's Strategic Weapons, said: "You can never be sure with the Iranians. From the photographs they have released the missile looks like the Ashoura which they launched a year ago. It is a solid propellant missile with a triconic nose shape, like the teat on a baby's bottle. The Shahab 3A also has the same nose shape."

He added: "What is not clear is whether the test firing took place today or whether it's a photograph taken out of the archives but from the pictures it looks like a two-stage missile with a range of 1,900-2,000 kilometres."

its very funny, what ever IRAN show up with, US keeps denying!
guss cant accept the progress, iran made, anyway ! US words are not the "words of god".

 

[JK!]

Most Iranian gear is reverse engineered US hardware from the 1970s or based on Russian and chinese weapons.

i guss, closning realationship between RUSSIA & IRAN is resulting in this kind of goods for iran, any way its a great job, even to stand up against the mighty power of USA.
i think full credit goes to IRAN.

 

[JK!]

Its mostly talk though due to the US military being overstretched Batmannow.

If Iraq and Afghanistan weren't US commitments then we'd be hearing very little from the Iranians.

lol "man purposes, god disposses"!
its there own falt no one else to blame, right
now they have to pay a price, even they like or not?

 

[Black Stone]

why does iran need so many different types of missiles or the same purpose?

Desperation, they want to show this to the world (mainly US) that their missile technology is advancing and somehow we should be scared. If what Keyseroze has posted is correct, then there is no such thing as differnt types of missiles. Perhaps, it is the same missile with a differnt name and a different packaging.

This is even more funny when the Iranians photoshopped one of their failed launches and claimed it was a success.

Is that the progress your talking about?.

Yes, the Iranians will do anything or say anything to discourage a US attack. Because they know that when a superpower attacks, they are going to rip their pants.

It is true that the military is overstretched, but do you think that if the Iranians attack our ships, we will not retaliate and bomb them because we are "overstretched"?.

Black Stone; SIR
How are you, how about your g-bomb?
who said that," Iranians photoshopped one of their failed launches ", thats all negetive propaganda, AGAINST A NATION WHICH IS STANDING AGAINST A SUPERPOWER.
THATS IT!
