This particular model is very fast (ramjet powered), but is certainly not a cruise missile, nor does it compete with recent US cruise missiles (JASSM). Although it is quite effective, the new naval point defense system called the Rolling Airframe Missile was designed to counter it. It is understandable that Iran would want the very best in AShM's due to the overwhelming size of the US Navy in comparison.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09671673012996223495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12059821.post-53461713216098804742008-08-13T23:39:00.000-07:002008-08-13T23:39:00.000-07:00Well, don't count the neocons out- they just start...Well, don't count the neocons out- they just started a new war with Russia and they are sending a huge naval armada to IranAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12059821.post-68681700160078449152008-07-22T21:48:00.000-07:002008-07-22T21:48:00.000-07:00You are right.

You could add a lot of other possibilities regarding a conflict with Iran; such as, other Moslem countries (although of a different sects) come to Iran's defense, such as Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, etc.<BR/><BR/>All some countries would have to do would be to turn off the oil spigot, that would be enough to bring us to our knees.<BR/><BR/>By the way, could lose, too. We could lose a multi-billion aircraft carrier and a couple thousand soldiers, and billions of dollars like we have in Iraq.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
