« Iranian Election | Main | Pope Should Never Speak off the Cuff » Iran's New Misssile
By Micah Halpern
Monday April 24, 2017 I've Been Thinking: Iran is now outfitted with a cruise missile designed to strike ships. The new missile is called the Nassir. The Iranian Defense Ministry tested the missile in February and the Nassir is now being sent to both ship and land batteries to augment defense against naval attacks. What makes the Nassir unique and gives it value is neither range nor speed - it is the pride Iranian generals are feeling in their new weapon. The Nassir has counter jamming capabilities that will render it impervious to the counter defenses of the US fifth fleet. When a missile is shot at a sophisticated target like an air craft carrier or a destroyer US counter measures are usually deployed, causing the smart bomb to miss its target and go off course or self destruct. In the case of the Nassir - there is a counter to the counter -- and so the missile continues towards its target. Until now it was just a question of how to better protect or hack the computer of the enemy. This missile re-codes after being hacked. It adjusts to the hack and overrides the override. The technology of warfare has changed. Read my latest book THUGS. It's easy. Just click. To reprint my essays contact sales (at) www.featurewell.com 4 June 2017 12:12 PM in Thoughts
