Missiles, Satellite: Warning to foes

Locally-made satellites and mass-produced missiles

Reuters -- Iran showed off new missile and satellite technology on Monday, and told its enemies it had "complete domination" of the entrance to the oil-rich Gulf. As part of Iran's annual revolution celebrations, a time traditionally marked by new technological and military advances, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad unveiled locally-made satellites while a senior commander showed off mass-produced missiles. Although Iran is not engaged in any military conflict, it is on constant alert against possible attacks from the United States and Israel which have not ruled out possible pre-emptive strikes to stop Tehran getting nuclear weapons >>>

Technology is good for us

by Fair on Tue Feb 08, 2011 09:14 AM PST

I agree Kooshan, even if much of this technology started its way to Iran from China and NK, the more domestic control we have over any defence technology the better.  The Shah started this with the US and the west, that was the right thing to do then, and it is the right thing to do now as well.  So if for now we are stuck with less capable sources of technology, it is still better to use that than nothing.  I NEVER want to see Iran again in a situation that we were put in by the mullahs with Iraq- being bombed and invaded and attacked by barbarians, and at the same time isolated and desperate for foreign parts and equipment to defend ourselves.  We need to be self sufficient for our basic defense needs.  Imam Zaman didn't do squat for us back then, and cannot be counted on today either:)

Now if only we could add to that a government which actually is answerable to the people of Iran and our rights, that would be better, and we could actually gain true strength.  We will get there.  Feb 14th everybody, don't forget!

Guys......either have some substance to say or hold your breath!

This arrogance will only blind you to see the truth......be fair...be proud of achievements some youth of coutry has achieved. And, if one day the nation decide to have a different political landscape, it will only be possible with a STRONG IRAN!

با توجه به درخواست مجوز راهپیمایی توسط آقایان مهندس موسوی و کروبی برای روز دوشنبه 25 بهمن جهت اعلام هم حمایت از حکت آزادیخواهانه مردم شجاع مصر و نیز با توجه به اینکه مردم ایران قصد دارند در هر حال ( رد یا صدور مجوز ار طرف وزارت کشور ) دست به راهپیکایی اعتراضی بزنند ، لازم است هم میهنان خارج نشین ما هم در هر کجا که هستند از این روز - که اتفاقاً مصادف شده است با روز 14 فوریه یا همان روز ولنتاین - بعنوان اعلام حمایت از هم میهنان شان استفاده کنند . از همه دست اندرکاران خواهش می کنم هر چه زودتر مقدمات این حرکت ها را مهیا کرده و از طریق شبکه های مختلف اجتماعی و روشهای دیگر باطلاع سایر هم میهنان برسانند . زنده باد آزادی و پاینده باد ایران
چشم زندانیان سیاسی و اامید آنها به این روز دوخته است . آنها را ناامید نکنیم

did anyone catch "made in PRC" logo

by Roozbeh_Gilani on Mon Feb 07, 2011 03:03 PM PST

 on these "locally made" islamist wonders? Or were they deleted by the manufacturer to keep the much more lucrative business with Wall Mart going and not hurting  islamist leadership's ego?

Did anyone catch Vahidi's Arabic accent?

by Anonymous Observer on Mon Feb 07, 2011 03:13 PM PST

Listen to the way he pronounces "haleghaat," with the heavy emphasis on the "h" sound--which is the way native Arabic speakers pronounce it (at 0:04 of the video).
