Iranian missile test

[loic2003]

I'm seeing ticker reports of an Iranian missile that has been tested today. Apparantly it can evade detection from radar.

Anyone else seen anything on this?

TEHRAN, IRAN ? Iran successfully test-fired a locally made missile with the ability to carry a warhead and avoid radar, the airforce chief of the elite Revolutionary Guards said Friday.

"Today, a remarkable goal of the Islamic Republic of Iran's defence forces was realized with the successful test-firing of a new missile with greater technical and tactical capabilities than those previously produced," Gen. Hossein Salami said on state-run television.

Was this confirmed by generals Pepperoni and Pastrami?

bs

you can't really stealthize anything with a big flame shooting out the arse end.

unless they mean it has radar evasive measures (flying low, zig-zaggy stuff, etc)

Flames aren't really picked up on radar. Perhaps you're confusing a heat signature with radar signature?

Doesn't say if it's a ballistic missile or a cruise missle.

A few years back apparently they obtained a handful of AS-15 cruise missles, maybe they build something by reverse engineering those.
