Iran has made the most technologically advanced warship canon!

Yep.. that's what I thought they meant..
The altitude ceiling would be 23,000 ft..
But how effective is a ballistic unpropelled unguided shell at hitting ANY air target other than a BLIMP?!

No really.. shells for air targets..Is it their ability to disperse shrapnel, proximity explosives or something?

Arnomann, problem with this is that whatever Canada has, the US already has 10 times better.

Yeah but we spent 20x the cash to get it.

At any rate, poll after poll here in the U.S. makes it clear that a majority is not in favor of doing the same thing to our citizens.

Unless you need medication that your insurance doesn't cover then I'd bet you'd be on a bus to our friendly northern neighbor.

I'm not sure if this is the funniest thing or saddest thing i've seen...

Mehran posts another BS thread and everyone runs with it for 3 pages while he abandons yet another post... all while he sits back giggling his little arse off. If he isn't going to back up his posts or even reply to everyone... why waste our time!? Duh, he should be in bed getting plenty of sleep so he can catch the camel to school in the morning... 4th grade is pretty hard.

I dont see where he needs to back anything up

He presented an article on a advanced cannon which is not strange nor unlikey. The only thing being scoffed at is the "cannon" vs "missile" senario

Actually the whole Iranian propaganda machine on overdrive..hyperdrive even.. is comical..
Though Mehran doesn't need to respond.. It would certainly help if he could post some more info..

Yes it would help because we can't believe what Iran claims to have for new weaponry. Look at this;

www.strategypage.com...

Iran has shown off a modified American F-5 fighter and proclaimed this new "Saegheh" as similar to the American F-18 jet fighter. This is not the first time Iran has run a stunt like this. But even with a redesigned tail and better electronics, the 1960s era F-5 is still a low cost, and low performance, aircraft. The F-5E, which the Iranians had when the Islamic revolution took over in 1979, is an 11 ton aircraft, with a max speed of 1,700 kilometers an hour, and a range of some 1,400 kilometers. It was armed with two 20mm cannon, and could carry about three tons of missiles and bombs. The Iranians have taken the basic F-5 frame and rebuilt it to hold two Russian engines. The Chinese did the same thing, and produced the J-8 (a twin engine MiG-21) that turned out to be not worth the effort.

Maybe it is just a sea shell. . .Where's the beef?

I think that 24,573 of the parts are the number of black powder grains

Though seriously, who cares? So Iran has made a big cannon that can be shot from a boat. I'm pretty sure we were shooting cannons from boats centuries ago - although this one appears to shoot really, really far. Well, when the Iranians are sitting there cranking up their cannon trying like crazy to find the right firing solution, I hope they won't be distracted by the TASM heading straight for 'em
