Iranian MRM based in Venezuela?
 

According to many sources, Iran is planning to place Shahab 3 / Scud ramps in Venezuela.

The missiles has enough range to hit mainland US.

Is Chavez crazy? Of course, this is a clever move from the Iranians, to establish this new MAD policy (assuming the missiles has nuclear warheads), but - if the news are true- no good for the world peace...

1st reaction - a new cuban missile crisis.

2nd reaction - SCUD missiles? really? because they are sooooo effective.

Venezuela missile crisis?

Chaves is that annoying, eh? :)

I don't think the US will pull another WMD "cheat" after Iraq ... :hmmm:

you know, why isn't wikileaks leaking anything about this?
this is something that i would actually like insider info on

That's what JDAMs are for. That or sink all shipping coming from Iran to our hemisphere summarily.

A Iranian Shahab 3 on the Northern beaches of Venezuela would just barely hit the southern most point of Florida... assuming the CEP (2.5 kilometers. The 190m CEP is only in their dreams) allows such a lucky hit.

I don't think I will be digging my bomb shelter this weekend.

the Iranian Shahab 3 also can only lift a 800kg payload which equals about a 500kg warhead.

and we have ICBM's AND anti missile systems

go cry to you're momma IRAN

And we need a test area for the Rail-Gun system!
:har:

Monroe Doctrine. Destroy any facilities summarily. Period. If Venezuela doesn't like it, they are welcome to try and invade and change our mind.

Marilyn had a Doctrine?????

:D

Ya.
It was called 'Screw the President'.

I would worry more about a Venezuelan diesel sub popping off a couple SLCMs at Washington, Miami, or Dallas. Like one of the new Satnav guided LACM variants of the C-802.

So many acronyms :doh: I really need to buy Dangerous Waters and get up with the modern military lingo.

I wouldn't worry about that until Venzuela completes the business set up with the neighbouring countries and china which is a hell of a long way of still and probably still won't be functioning fully even if by some miracle Chavez wins a few more elections
