Anyone with a smattering of knowledge about missile doctrine might wonder why you would want with “radar evading” capabilities on an anti-air missile. It escapes me.

Iran's navy said Sunday it test-fired an advanced surface-to-air missile during a drill in international waters near the strategic Strait of Hormuz, the passageway for one-sixth of the world's oil supply.

Advanced?

Is a sling is no longer required?

Better make it a good shot, Mookie, because after the first AA missile goes into the air, things start to fall apart.

These Iranians have a very short memory and apparently no recall of the USS Vincennes ...
