Is this supposed to be news?

I’d say China views Iran as a customer.

We’ve sold a lot of weapons to unsavory places, too, and were more concerned with them not using them on us than dictating who else they used them on.

If we are going to divvy up the world with this measuring stick, it will be a lot messier than most people realize.

China may take delivery from Iran one Ayatollah with soiled pants. I doubt Iran will take delivery on any type of anti ship missiles in enough time or quantity to do them any good.

Pretty much.

China plans on doing something to us every week yet it never happens.

I’m starting to think their leaders are out of touch with reality. He never comes here.

Can’t say I’ve heard of any missile that’s subsonic.

Being 'capable' of sinking US naval vessels doesn't account for the probability.

No kidding Ag,

We have no room to talk, we are the largest weapons merchant in the world. We have armed Taiwan to the teeth along with building military bases throughout Japan, Philipines etc.

Get back to me when china arms Mexico and builds bases at our border.

I chuckle with ya. The V2 was launched over 80 years ago, the first supersonic missile. Somehow the media has convinced the public its a "new" technology and the US has no answer.

Actually I should say the MIC told the MSM to convince the public. So now we need another trillion to combat this "new" threat.

While true to a degree, I would suggest that in many instances, those weapons were being sold for a specific use.

The new ones are hypersonic, not supersonic, and it is relatively new tech, mainly the advances of heat resistant materials.

We have answers, but it doesn't sound like we'll make an A+ if the test is tomorrow.


ETA I was wrong, the model I saw mentioned was supersonic, not hypersonic. Still an issue depending on numbers but not nearly the threat the new stuff is.

Got to ship them, assemble them and then train the Iranians to use them. All while we have that armada off their coast. Don't think we will wait and watch that happen.
