“Trust me when I tell you today, the Iranian army is equipped with highly sophisticated military equipment, which it does not deem necessary to display before the eyes of insiders or outsiders,” said Major-General Ataollah Salehi Baghdad Bob, the former Iraqi Information Minister - now cabin boy to PM Ahmanutjob - in Tehran on Monday.

Is this secret weapon anything like the “magic keys” these military geniuses gave fourteen year boys during the Iraq War, telling them that if they were killed in one of their suicide charges, they would go straight to heaven? I guess their plan is wait in heaven and gang up on their enemies when they die of old age.

And after a week of lobbing missiles at aircraft that aren’t there (we got a few sophisticated surprises, too), their AA radars will be reduced to hot piles of twisted metal.

Kind of when Iran claimed to have built a fighter jet from the ground up and it was nothing more than a rebuilt F-5.

Yeah, well, if they’re such BADASSES, why haven’t they taken on Israel?

I’ll tell you why: the Hebrews would KICK THEIR ASSES BIG TIME.

I somehow think that we will see this boast tested to its fullest. I picture a few flights of f-1117s, B2s, and a slew of Tomahawks turning all that nice shiny iranian stuff into metal ready to recycle...

More sword-rattling BS.

We could stomp them — if only our illustrious leaders had cajones.

Gee...I wonder where the Iranian SCUM get the spares to keep the F-14’s flying...

Hey, you don’t think our own leaders are selling out our troops, do you?

A year or two ago, they were bragging about a domestic 76mm naval gun. (licensed from Oto Melara)

Let's see how long the Iranian Revolutionary Guards last when they have to face things like these:

JDAM bombs

JSOW cluster bomb delivery system

Their military will be out of business in a matter of a few days.

They may have the best Russian arms which their oil money can buy. Proxy wars — again.
