    I think we have a thread on some Iranian tech. Couple videos showing their boats. If not it might be under the thread Isreal vs Iran. They do have Missile launching abilities. The Iranians mix thiers in with attack boats and rocket boats. Plus they have some some hydro-foils. Althought I don't see those as viable for any combat role. other than communications and or for dropping mines.

    They have practiced shooting ballistic missiles into the atmoshpere from merchant vessels in the Caspian Sea.

    Think merchant vessel with a scud launcher covered with a tarp. A nuke on top of the scud. Float off the eastern seaboard of the US. Remove the tarp, set up the scud, fire the scud over the US, have the payload explode 250 miles up. EMP. All unshielded electronics in line of sight are destroyed. Over the course of the next 18 months more people would die than had the nuke hit NYC.

    So now you are saying Iran is going to nuke us, MMC?
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    I didnt say that.....uhm where do you see that I said anything about such. You need to re-read the posts again. I asked Pete Concerning what he was talking about. I think that is his post that says "think merchant vessel with a scud launcher on it and with a nuke." Uhm.....yep. It wasn't mine!

    I don't think that Iran has a nuke yet. So no, they aren't capable of this.

    Once they have a nuke, it would be an easy operation. Float the merchant ship off our coast, fire off the scud, then sink the ship. How do we know who to blame?

    We would be plunged into pre-industrial age. The big transformers that power our grids are no longer made in the US and would take years to replace.

    A couple of years ago the House passed a bill to spend money on hardening our grids. The Senate blocked it. Why?

    I didn't think so.

    I don't think that the platform used in the tests is the issue, it is the capability.

    So Pakistan probably already has the means to do this, right? I just hope our sat systems are evolved enough to catch these guys crossing the ocean in time for naval forces to intercept.
