Missle Watch 2010

Ok, i'll admit it is somewhat tongue in cheek, but who knows, maybe it'll "take off" so to speak, and what with all the success of other threads in this area, just thought another consolidation thread wouldn't hurt, with all the interest in this subject lately.

Here are a few sites to get things started, and to help with identification of said missiles...

Oh, and for those who still confuse missiles with planes, please start a "Plane Watch 2010" thread of your own, this one is strictly "Missiles"....

Really,.
one satellite rocket
and one undetermined speculation?

so we need to start a running thread?
Good luck

eh? Maybe you missed the point of the thread. Its a watch.

Anyways.. to the OP:
Maybe a good place to start would be tracing the heritage of missiles esp in countries like Iran, Iraq, Pakistan etc. which ship missiles from other friendly 'more advanced' states (In violation of the MTCR), put on a nice coat of paint, learn how to mfg and maintain and then call a result of their own genius

I'll play... missile hunt for first to locate Saudi Arabia's ICBM silos???

Next, free holiday accomodation in Cairns for 2 weeks first to post direct evidence of Saudi funding of Pakistani nuclear program... (thats an easy one) drats I already live in Cairns!

www.globalsecurity.org... "During Mr Nawaz Sharif’s tenure as prime minister, Saudi Arabia appears to have begun funding Pakistan’s nuclear and missile programs. The North Korean missiles ("red missiles painted green") traded for Pakistani nuclear know-how in the late 1990s took place at a time when the Pakistani economy was in shambles. Saudi Arabia appears to have bailed Pakistan out of this financial crisis.

Following Pakistan's nuclear weapons tests in May 1999, Saudi authorities denied the speculation about any possible cooperation between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia in the nuclear field. Saudi Arabia's second deputy prime minister, defense and aviation minister and inspector general, Prince Sultan Bin Abd al-Alziz, denied reports of Saudi attempts to acquire nuclear arms from Pakistan. Concerns about Saudi plans to buy nuclear weapons were raised after Prince Sultan toured Pakistan's secret nuclear facilities in May 1999. The prince toured the Kahuta uranium enrichment plant and an adjacent factory where the Ghauri missile is assembled with Pakistani prime minister Nawaz Sharif and was briefed by A.Q. Khan, the father of Pakistan's atom bomb. The site is so secret that former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto said she was not allowed to go to there during her tenure in office"


Bonus points for evidence of transfer of nuclear warheads from Pakistan to Saudi.

Oh of course not, Saudi's just going to sit quietly as Iran develops its nukes, as Iraq did its weapon program and Israel sits on their non existent stockpile? and think the United States will extend its nuclear umbrella to them???,

Next, how about Japan?
think those samurai are doing nothing but origami as North Korea explodes nukes and fires IMRBM over their heads?... Bonus points for evidence of a collaborative program with Taiwan (Taiwan was after all once a Japanese colony)
