Iran began mass production of missiles to fight aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf

Iran began mass production of cruise missiles to destroy naval targets, including military ships, Gazeta.ru reports, citing CBS. This was stated by Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi.

The minister did not mention the exact number of missiles that are planned to be produced.

Developed by Iranian experts, Gader missiles can hit targets within an 124 radius of miles. New missiles have already entered service with the Iranian forces, including the units that protect the state’s maritime borders.

According to him, the missiles "can sink huge warships."

Experts point out that rockets pose a potential threat to US ships in the Persian Gulf.

Iran's naval command this week threatened with the deployment of warships off the US Atlantic coast.

Iran regularly announces the creation of new species weapons. So, in July of this year, Iran first announced the testing of long-range missiles in the Indian Ocean.

This is how the USA reacted.

However, Washington was rather skeptical about the statements. “We do not take such statements seriously, because they do not reflect the capabilities of the Iranian Navy,” White House spokesman Jay Carney commented on the threats voiced by the United States.

“This posturing of Iran is intended for an internal audience. Their fleet cannot reach our shores, it's just bombastic rhetoric, ”analyst Michael Connell quoted CNN as saying.

The missiles will be handed over to the naval unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and, as emphasized in Iran, are used to protect the borders of the Iranian part of the Caspian Sea and the Gulf of Oman.

About Gader it is known that it can be based both on the sea and on the coast, and its range can be up to 200 km.

As I understand it, this is a defensive weapon and what does the US coast have to do with it?

This news is for local use.

[Motherland]

Probably for protection. And since the more problems the USA has and the more countries are against them, the more I feel comfortable

[qwz_qwz]

The Regional State Administration is calmer, only until they (the USA) want to remove all their problems in one way or another ...

[Rashid]

Carriers in the Gulf, i.e. in a relatively limited water area, the production for missiles is good, the main thing is that there are a lot of them (missiles) and the launchers are well camouflaged.

[ZEBRASH]

If this is not Iranian disinformation, then this is good. Understands Ahmadinejad the precariousness of his position

[Sergh]

What are you laughing at? I just measured on the map, so in the narrowest point of the bay near the city of Bandar Abbas, the distance is only 90 km, and the average strait is 200-290 km wide, and you cannot approach Kuwait (Iraq) by another sea. Now let the Merikos laughter!
Vadim, and spokesman Jay Carney in geography was a loser at school.

For a mad dog 200-290 km is not a hook, so - two bast shoes on the map

[BOSS]

That's right, let them arm themselves:) If the Pindos when the thread attacks Iran (which I doubt very much), they will remember very warmly, S. Korea and Vietnam :)

Well done Iranians, alone against the whole set of hyenas.

[Marat]

I agree Figwa - well done Persians!
It's a shame that Russia cannot "disobey" the overseas "masters of the world" and if it does not intercede directly for its neighbor - then at least supply a normal weapon
(well, at least they managed to deliver air defense systems, aircraft engines and radars)

Every time I read Iran's statements about testing "new systems" of weapons (in which I fear more bravado than reality), I am also outraged by the ban on the supply of weapons to them - and pity and sympathy for Iran, and at the same time admiration for the courage of their people and government - are really heirs ancient Persians!

I am sure that "defending" Iran is a priority task for Russian diplomacy - and at the first opportunity to rearm and train them in
Iran is our last "shield" from the south - covering the Caspian from the enemy

[esaul]

Marat, it is dangerous to fall into euphoria over friendship with Iran, "gently turning" into fraternal kissing. Friendship with them should be strictly dosed and, strictly, within certain limits. And this framework clearly indicates that Iran must dominate the region as long as it remains a dangerous and formidable irritant for the states. And we must provide him with all-round assistance in this regard, not forgetting that a crocodile fed by your hands, at one fine moment, can bite your head off. The East is a delicate matter ... And I rejoice in the success of the Persians with you, but I sleep with my eyes "

[Marat]

Well, it's like England - "there are no eternal friends - only eternal interests - something like that" - of course we don't need Great Persia in our neighborhood - I, as a Soviet person, will not be able to experience the euphoria of being close to the Shiite state.
But while the pendos are a common enemy, we are natural allies with them - here it seems to me that you and I agree.

[qwz_qwz]

Tryndyat, as always, but happy

[dimon]

I am proud for you more than for us now our Brothers in Arms!

[Uhalus]

Oh, nice! You look, and they’ll fight ... Or at least Amers will walk on the sea and look around ... :)

[Roman Skomorokhov]

I do not see anything pleasant here.
Too explosive mixture turns: Syria-Iran-Turkey-Israel ...
Bound by mutual claims and good neighborly "love".

Maybe n% build so that does not seem to anyone.

I still forgot Pakistan ... And he is there next to you, if that.

[datur]

Banshee, yes, if it starts, then the mess will be universal, no one will sit out.
