Israel goes ballistic

According to Uzi Rubin, founder of the Arrow missile and a former head of the Homa Missile Defense Agency, Iran can also take unguided rockets like the Zelzal - which are also in Hizbullah's hands - and turn them into guided rockets with ranges topping 220 km.

"This is an original Iranian project; we don't see it anywhere else," Rubin noted in a recent briefing at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.

The second major breakthrough is in the propulsion systems, which Iran has succeeded in upgrading from liquid to solid fuel. The main difference is that a missile that operates on liquid fuel needs to be fueled very close to launch, making it easier to discover with surveillance satellites or hovering aircraft. Solid-fuel missiles have a significantly longer shelf life and can be stored in underground silos for a long time, allowing the Iranians to just lift their cover and launch.

It is not an easy task though to assess Iran's progress in missile development.

".... when push comes to shovel. And that is thanks to mismanagement thorough out all governing bodies in Iran, even the military. When  the generals are judged by their political and relegious beliefs and not by his military capabilities or skills, the armed forces are left with decisionmakers that don't know the first thing of running a military force. Then they will let foreigners like russians take over and make important tactical decision instead of them. What in fact means buying whole lot of crappy outdated military hardware for a price to high, military hardware that isn't even worth it's price was it only for it's scraped metal. "

Not even the CIA can speak so definitively about its arch enemy Iran as you do. That is a lot of bull.............!
