I can't believe some people replying to this article actually believe Iran has these very sophisticated weapons.

Iran's didn't make the anti tank missiles or the land to sea, they are Russian make. DUH!

It's apperant that you rely on the tabloid paper The Gaurdian for your mis-information. de dee de Andy!

that most of our r n d are very advanced we have created many anti tank missile but since the army budget is low n the defence is not a high priority anymore to olmert nwe will loose more than we expected

One of the things that is going to bring this great nation to its knees is its redicule and under estimation of Iran. Iranians are orientals and are smart just like the chinese or japanese. Eventually, they will figure out how to make a n-bomb and then what? Will we still have time to under estimate or redicule them or will we be in the shelters again?

I reckon only arabs do. I dont believe it. Hey didnt they just announce they found the cure for AIDS too? cummon its all posturing, so they say to russia I'll have 1 of your best jets please and when it lands they give it a nice paint job and call it theyre own latest space rocket. Too bad in a war you may need more then 1 plane. Its all POSTURING the paper tiger ROARS and no doubt every arab believes it then blame the sionists when its all bullshit. And no i dont say to under estimate Iran, just recognise when they bullshit you. They want to frighten you all. Countries that have real technology never boast about it on the contrary its kept quiet and secretive.

It's nothing more than an F-5 knock-off. Credit is due for its development but it's nothing more than a cheap light weight fighter with limited space for radar and other armaments

I went to engineering school with a few Iranians. Never saw anybody lazier or dumber.

Before writing, please have a look to the zionist military budget.

In reality, there's no zionist technology but US technology as, because of an agreement, zionists have access to many US technologies. Access denied to other close friends of the USA like the UK or Italy. Another point is that a number of US scientists have a dual citizenship : today they speak as US scientists, tomorrow as zionist scientists.

maybe the israeli public under estimate irans technology but i certainly dont think idf under estmate them. and yes maybe they did build a great aircraft but well see if it up to american plans improved by israeli technology. it might be a good aircaft but it needs high technology air to air missles to win in a dog fight and i never saw an iranian made air to air missle(correct me if im wrong).

Step 1: Place Saegheh on autopilot Step 2: Eject canopy Step 3: Place shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile on right shoulder to operate with right hand Step 4: With left hand, operate .38 caliber pistol Step 5: Shoot down Zionist infidels This could be a serious threat. Israeli pilots could laugh so hard they might fly into the side of a mountain. Paqid Yirmeyahu Israeli Orthodox Jew Advancing Logic as Halakhic Authority Welcoming non-Jews www.netzarim.co.il

Yes, can’t take of and I had 3 wheel puncher during run. But comes with nice features: a beautiful ash tray, Persian carpets and no mater orientation of plane, guns always are pointing to Mecca.

You sound very educated, yes keep calling Iranian's dumb. They are a bunch of morons. I mean honestly what has the Persian civilization contributed to mankind, what a waste of flesh for the past 2500 years. Keep underestimating their potential as well, I hope this self assurance and ignorance on everyones behalf allows them to sleep better at night.

Soon, very soon the Arabs will either kill you or convert you. If you somehow survive, you will see to your great regret and eternal shame that you were very wrong. We are the people of the Torah and despite weaklings like Olmert and Peretz G-d has a plan for us and he fights our final war and you loose. Even now the Erev Rav (mixed multitude) that attached itself to the Jewish people has been brought back in this last generation and put in power in Israel so they who think they can run the world without the G-d of Israel can be defeated by G-d. In that war not only the Erev Rav but 2/3 of the earths population will be wiped out (Ezekiel 36 - 39 gives a graphic description that is plainly stated for you to read) because they took sides against Israel and attacked in the war of Gog and Magog. It sounds as though you have volunteered for that soon to be defeated army. In the end Israel and the Jewish people will be the one place on earth that everyone loves and wants to be favored by. Our currency will be Torah and everything and everyone on earth will gravitate toward it. We will be the wisest, wealthiest and most admired nation and people on earth, were we will learn and teach torah and serve G-d. Now in these last days many Jews are coming come to their faith, and to their land. While the world is gathering one more time to rid the world of Jews once and for all in the last attempt at the final solution. Ahmadinejad in Iran is the reincarnation of Haman a former prime minister of Iran who thought he could wipe out all of the Jews. Just like his Amalekite brothers Hitler y.s. and Haman y.s. he will come to a bad end on his own gallows. The people of the world who choose to either support Israel or at least stand aside are those who will survive to go on into a new golden age that will last forever. Jews, Gentiles make your choices now. Signed A Jew who found G-d and came to Jerusalem

If your so proud of your dictatorship why don't you go back home and leave our democracy alone

In general, intelligence services don't announce to the world what they know and don't know. As a result, unless you've got a direct line to the Mossad's classified files, you're flailing at windmills.

I concur completely. A few years back, I worked for a company that was engaged by the Canadian government to teach petroleum engineering to Iranian post grad engineers as part of our “technology transfer” international aid program. Not only were these engineers dumb and lazy, they also cheated on their exams! Nevertheless, when it comes to the final showdown, the outcome has already been decided in heaven and neither weapons nor brainpower will help change the ending! As Yitzi, #48 has said so eloquently, Haman will be destroyed by his own weapons.

I fear for the future of Isreal, the US, and other God fearing nations. I don't know how we can do it, but we've got to find some way to live in peace with the moslem world.

yes but their ancestors were also not muslims. A lot of Science and Technology came out of the middle east before islam.

As for cutting Israel off well it's not your decision.

U better take a course in Middle East history, it will also be good if you could study how europe came out of Dark Ages

Dont worry about what sect I belong to.All I wrote was the fact that appeared in the article.Nevertheless, my contention that not all the technology is developed by one country in any industry by a single country.So, whether I ran used its own technology or used to upgrade any that was acquired from another country is of no consequence.Anyway, your talk-back is more of a racial hatred than anything else, so I am not expecting any decent answer from you as well.

For that matter I have a neighbour who has kept a pig in the backyard and named it Jeroom.

Please know what you are talking about before posting it. A lot of the Science, Mathematics and Technology came after Islam from the Muslim World (both the Middle East and Muslim Spain). What really pisses me with you westerners is that most of your education and General knowledge comes from TV and CNN. Go and read a little bit and get enlightened.

As long as were getting pissed. What really pisses me with you middle easterners is that you keep bad mouthing us westerners and our life style, but you keep moving here. Stay is ucrapastan and go to your own university and live there too. Yes I have read about all the nobel prize winners from the middle east.

Irans best defence will be mutually assured destruction (MAD) with Israel . Because of the small size of Israel it doesn't need nuclear weapons for this and probably has no intention of making the things.
