Made a response in the wrong post. Editing as we speak.

New weapon systems are often touted as greater than they truly are. This kind of propaganda is usually being pushed by countries like Iran and the DPRK.

But...

That doesn't mean that they don't have the capabilities that they are claiming they have. In these cases, we are always concerned about the touted capabilities, but reserve judgement until we are able to obtain technical documents and see the results of test fire demonstrations.

I doubt there is anything those turds have in the inventory that our Navy won't pee themselves from laughing so hard. In the extreme instance that something does do some damage, I would hate to be on the receiving end for the payback.

1stSgt Private RallyPoint Member I am still laughing my tail off from watching this on the news today. "There is strong evidence that Iran MAY have violated......" YA THINK?

This is probably like their "Carrier" that they blew up to show their might... They also can't recover a submarine they lost... I highly doubt this new technology actually works like they say.

They may be lying but they don't have to be very good to damage or sink most ships so I had rather not find out how effective they might be.

when someone threaten the US army with a 9mm hand gun, do you think the army ignore that guy? the answer should explain everything.

“anti-deception” technology - as in reporting on Iranian TV that these big green dildos work. "Iran occasionally announces production of new weapons, which cannot be independently verified." If it was so bad ass where's the footage?

This propaganda piece reminds me of the broadcasts of Radio Moscow I would listen to in the '80's.
This sentence really made me laugh: "Since 1992, Iran has begun a military self-sufficiency program that produces weapons from mortars and torpedoes to missiles and jet fighters."

Do balsa wood models really count as jet fighters?

i looked through the internet,............................and besides Fox and Twitter, no one had this information, not even snopes. Fox is an entertainment company. And since they went to court in 1997 (Monsanto) and were given the go-ahead to report any lie they wanted, i wouldn't put any weight on this article.
