New Drone unveiled in IRAN

[jblomenberg16]

Interesting coincidence just a few days after they fired up their first reactors.

Looks like they have some new bombing drones now too.

But, but... I thought the Reactors were just supposed to be for Energy Production...

We're the only country allowed to have drones? Our despicable government tries to run the world the way they run our country, only they are to be trusted with nukes, drones, and full-auto weapons.

I'm no fan of Iran, but we don't run the show there. They are responsible for themselves.

The test of the drone I seen looked like the old Nazi V1 rocket launches. Hmmm....

They're trying to goad the Israelis into a fight.

The test of the drone I seen looked like the old Nazi V2 rocket launches. Hmmm....

They're trying to goad the Israelis into a fight.

Wow, that is a total di** move.

I wonder if Iran knows what happened to the Nazis when they overstepped their boundaries.

No we are not the only Country to be allowed to have them. What they are calling drones is a serious understatement, they are closer to Medium Range Missiles. I do think it is a little odd that they have developed these "drones" to correspond to the activation times of their Reactor though. Maybe it is purely coincidental on the timing, Maybe not...

Looks like a V1.

Actually, I believe we got a lot of the drone technology from Israel so I am guessing they are good in the drone department. If you look up some of our more "advanced" systems you will find direct links with Israeli technology and in some cases we stole it from them. It is a fair deal I would say since we fund a lot of things that they do and give them help in some technology as well.

How? The range of the drone is approximately 620 miles, not enough to hit Israel.

id like to give iran the bennefit of doubt, but they are making it real hard to do. I have no idea what the fools are thinking. they are making me reconsider my tollerance towards them.

That's exactly what the Iranians want everyone to believe. Slick Willy "didn't have sexual relations with that woman" either.

 

[ATOMonkey]

LOL!!! That is a hot pile of ****. It's a half assed cruise missle more than a "drone".

I doubt it has any kind of accuracy either.

More of a "point this in the general direction of someplace you'd like to cause havoc" type of weapon.

OK, I've decided (after looking at this for 3 days) to take offense at your comment. Yes, I understand what you're saying, but I don't agree with you.

Our despicable government isn't trying to "run the world". It may be trying to influence other nations, but since other nations are trying to do the same, no harm - no foul as far as I'm concerned.

Since we've acquired nuclear weapons, the one and only time we've used them was to end a war and save potentially a million US GIs and more Japanese. You'll notice we didn't use them against the Vietnamese, or Saddam in GF1, and we've not used them against the Iranians who've been supplying military materiel which has directly contributed to the death our our soldiers.

We also haven't been supplying weapons, money, and other support to any country in an effort to destroy another sovereign nation, as has Iran. (I make this distinction because we obviously have supported revolutions in other countries - or sometimes supported counter-revolutions).

You can hate our government's domestic policies, and you can fault our State Department and its efforts to busybody in other nations' affairs, but as a nation we've given a whole lot more to the rest of the world than we've taken, both publicly and privately, and of the three big nations possessing nuclear weapons, we've never used them on anyone else.

Well I kinda like these rockets! All we have to do is stick poke them and they'll launch against themselves! Problem solved!

The Iranians over-state their capabilities, not under-state as a general rule. If it did have the range to threaten Israel, Iran would have been rattling their sabers by now. So far, they (Iran) are just rolling up in a ball and saying that it is another weapon in their arsenal, not a direct threat to Israel (just leave us alone).

Of course we're trusted with those, because they help us. Iran having good weapons hurts our interests. Currently we are the world superpower, so we're going to milk it for all we have. Personally the entire event reminds me of when Iran photo shopped extra missile launchers into their photographs.
