According to Yahoo!News & Channelnewsasia:
ERUSALEM (AFP) – - Israel on Tuesday tested its Arrow ballistic missile interception system, a costly project launched two decades ago aimed at countering strikes mainly from archfoe Iran.
The Arrow (Hetz in Hebrew) intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile similar to Iran’s Shahab-3 which can reach Israel. The missile was fired by an Israeli fighter plane over the Mediterranean, a defence official said.
“This morning, the Arrow system performed a successful test,” the defence ministry said in a statement.
“The success of the project marks a key step in its development plan and the improvement of the operational systems to offer a response to the growing threat of ballistic missiles in the region.”
- What’s is going on here, do Israel want to provoke an action from Iran or it’s just a show of “ability” to shoot down any incoming ballistic missile from Iran?
Apparently Iran’s buddy North Korea had successfully tested a longer range rocket that supposedly “sent” a satellite into space…and probably with the new information declared by the public media…North Korea can now easily begin their nice little private “auction” on the missile design or trade it in exchange with other country such as Iran.
Now that Obama just slapped 6 Iranian firms with “sanctions” for trying to acquire some kind of “unconventional weapons” which may possibly belong towards “weapons of deadly consequences”…many can imagine what exactly are those “unconventional weapons”.
Let me list out some possible suspects
- Electric “non-deadly” weapon?
- Sonic high frequencies “brain vibrator”?
- Super lethal Chemical/Biological/Nuclear weapons?
- Made In China weapons?
- A super spy?
Of course all other suspects may be included in the television series “future weapons”…but what exactly does Iran wants? This probably may be a taboo topic hence not much was revealed in the media….for now.
