Bad news if you like Earth unthreatened by crazy people wielding nukes: Iran just claimed significant advancements to its nuclear weapons program.
The 13,607kg GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator is not hard enough to take on Iran’s current nuclear facilities, said Pentagon sources to the Wall Street Journal.
These are the USS Abraham Lincoln and the USS John C. Stennis, two of the 10 nuclear-powered Nimitz-class aircraft supercarriers in service with the US Navy. They just arrived to the Strait of Hormuz as tension keeps mounting up in the area.
While we’re all up in arms over SOPA and PIPA, the government of Iran continues to monitor its citizen’s Internet access. The government has gone so far as to sentence a programmer to death for insulting the sanctity of Islam because of a piece of software used by a porn site.
Iran may not be able to reverse engineer the infamous RQ-170 Sentinel the US somehow lost over there last year. But they sure as hell can make a kid-friendly toy version! What it lacks in stealth, it boasts in colourful fun.
Iran isn’t a nation known for its liberal outlook on life. So maybe it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the country may soon pull out of the internet and launch its own national network instead.
Landing a 767 on its belly is one thing — and definitely no easy feat. But what about crash-landing an old-as-hell Iranian F-5 fighter with its nose scraping the dirt?
Iran has successfully tested two long-range missiles over the Strait of Hormuz, a key strategic point for oil commerce, in response to Obama’s December 31 sanctions against Iran’s central bank. What’s worse: Iran claims they have created their first nuclear fuel rod.
Iran has finally offered proof of its captured RQ-170 Sentinel drone, the top-of-the-line stealth killer. And it looks like it’s in perfect shape. Very bad news for American death from above, and very good news for China.
