TODAY....today Iran held a tes of a solid fuel missile which proves they CAN STRIKE EASTERN EUROPE; AFP:
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Wednesday that Iran has test-fired a new medium-range surface-to-surface missile and again insisted there will be no climbdown over Iran's nuclear programme.(MORE HERE.)"The defence minister (Mohammad Mostafa Najjar) told me today that we launched a Sejil-2 missile, which is a two-stage missile and it has reached the intended target," Ahmadinejad said in a speech in the northern town of Semnan.
"I was told that the missile is able to go beyond the atmosphere then come back and hit its target. It works on solid fuel," Ahamdinejad added to cheers from the crowd.
He did not specify the missile's range.
The defence minister said on November 12 that Iran had test-fired a new generation of ground-to-ground missile.
"This is a two-stage missile carrying two engines with combined solid fuel," Najjar said at the time, adding that the missile was named Sejil.
State television then showed footage of the launch of the missile which is similar in size to Iran's medium-range Shahab 3.
In the past, Iran has often boasted of developing new weapons systems only to be met with scepticism from Western defence analysts.
Najjar told the television in November that the new missile had "a range of close to 2,000 kilometres (1,350 miles)," which is similar to that of the Shahab-3 and sufficient to put Iran's regional archfoe Israel in range.
How embarrassing for the EASTWEST INSTITUTE.
Of course - as we pointed out yesterday - the study was written by a team of SIC RUSSIAN a"balanced" by six USA status quoists/"realists.
The Russian made sure that the report reflected Russian strategy; the USA status quoists are appeasers who always "go along to get along".
The EASTWEST INSTITUTE should shut down. Or at least STFU.
