| Swiss Missile: Sportec SP750 Porsche 997 GT2 | | 2008-08-22 07:12:00 | | Porsche enthusiasts will undoubtedly count the 997-generation Porsche 911 GT2 as one of the most extreme supercars ever to roll out of Stuttgart – right up there with the 959 and the Carrera GT. But where there's speed, there's always room for more speed, and the Swiss aren't about to stay neutral on this matter. Switzerland-based Sportec has just released its latest offering: the SP750. The tuning firm is known for producing seriously fast Porsches – including the 997 Turbo-based SP580 and the record-chasing SPR1 and SP600M Cayenne – and has put some serious effort into carrying on this legacy with the new SP750.Modifications to the GT2 – already very blitzschnell in its own right – are available in four increments, starting with the 600-hp Stage 1 and topping out with the full-on 750-hp Stage 4 kit, which includes new turbos, a revised ECU, titanium con-rods, a free-flowing exhaust and new camshafts, air filter and clutch. To control all that extra power, Sportec is also o | | By: Autoshows | | |

| | Will Iran's Missile Test Result in New U.S. Sanctions Law? | | 2008-07-09 16:20:41 | | Today's missile tests by Iran might be the last straw in efforts on Capitol Hill to enact new sanctions. In late June, the Senate Finance Committee passed S.3227, " The Iran Sanctions Act of 2008 ," which included a host of provisions to isolate Iran's nuclear program and financial system. But that act is opposed by the Administration for several reasons. Senate leadership could merge S.3227 with another Iran sanctions bill, the Iran Sanctions Enabling Act (S.1430).

| | Missile-related Shipment to Syria Stopped, U.S. Says | | 2008-05-30 06:00:00 | | Four countries last year prevented Syria from receiving equipment that could be used to test ballistic missile components, a senior U.S. official said on Wednesday.U.S. national security adviser Stephen Hadley described the previously undisclosed incident in a speech to members of the Proliferation Security Initiative, a network of countries that seeks to stop illicit weapons of mass destruction shipments.The Bush administration has portrayed the PSI effort, which was launched five years ago and has more than 90 nations as members, as a significant success in its drive to prevent biological, chemical or nuclear terrorism.Analysts say it is hard to judge its effectiveness because members are reluctant to disclose successes to avoid betraying sources that provide intelligence needed to stop shipments."One example of its success occurred in February 2007, when four nations represented in this room worked together to interdict equipment bound for Syria -- equipment that could have been use | | By: THE NEW BABYLON TIMES | | |
| | First documentary evidence Iran is into nuclear explosives, missile warhead design | | 2008-05-29 10:11:00 | | The International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna based its new and damning findings partly on 18 intelligence documents submitted by the United States, and now accuse Tehran of willful lack of cooperation. Iran dismissed the documents as forged or fabricated.DEBKAfile reports that the documents came from materials contained in a laptop stolen from one of the heads of Iran’s nuclear program in Tehran in late 2006 by Iranian dissidents. It was passed to the CIA. Despite this evidence of an ongoing nuclear weapons program, sixteen US intelligence agencies, including the CIA, combined last year to announce this program was suspended in 2003.Even the nuclear watchdog’s director Mohammed ElBaradei, who often meets the Iranians halfway, has concluded that Iran’s nuclear activities are of “serious concern” and require “substantial explanations.” which Tehran has refused to offer.His latest report describes Iran’s installation of new IR-2 and IR-3 centrifuges for enriching urani | | By: THE NEW BABYLON TIMES | | |
| | Standard Missile 3 | | 2008-05-28 03:54:00 | | Standard Missile-3 is being developed for Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) as part of the Missile Defense Agency’s Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS). The Aegis BMD system integrates SM-3 with the Aegis Weapon System (AWS) aboard U.S. Navy cruisers to provide an umbrella of protection against short to intermediate-range ballistic missile threats. SM-3 is compatible with the MK 41 Vertical Launching System (VLS) deployed on many U.S. Navy and international surface combatants.As a ballistic missile threat rises above the horizon, ship’s radar acquires, begins tracking, and the weapon system begins calculating the engagement solution. Upon command from the ship’s weapon system, the SM-3 boosts out of the launcher and establishes radio communication with the ship.After MK 72 booster burnout, the MK 104 Dual Thrust Rocket Motor (DTRM) ignites. In-flight communications from the ship guide the missile toward the predicted intercept point. After MK 104 burnout and separation, t | | By: Military Enthusiast | | |

| | Amid new Iranian threat, Israel connects to America’s Ballistic Missile Early Warning System | | 2008-04-15 13:45:00 | | DEBKAfile - Israel requested the hook-up to the BMEWS for early warning to defend itself against Iranian missile attack. Tuesday, April 15, Iran’s deputy C-in-C Mohammad Reza Ashtiani threatened to eliminate Israel from “the scene of the universe” if it launches a military attack on the Islamic state.DEBKAfile’s military sources report the system operates from three global centers – the US Thule Air Base in Greenland, where the 12th Space Warning Squadron is located; the Clear Air Force Station in Alaska and the British RAF long-range radar station at Fylingdales, Yorkshire, in England.This is the third time Israel has been connected to the BMEWS. The first was in 1991 before the first Gulf War and the second in 2003 before the US invasion of Iraq. Then, Israel feared Iraqi missile attack, which indeed materialized in 1991. Now, US military sources interpret the request as signifying Israel’s sense of the need to prepare for an Iranian missile attack in the not-too-distant | | By: THE NEW BABYLON TIMES | | |
| | Man Found Using Live Missile as an Anvil | | 2008-04-12 08:57:00 | | Romania: Firefighters have intervened after a farmer from Puieni village was seen using a 122mm missile he dug up in his garden several months ago as an anvil to work scythes and hoes on.Explosive specialists from the army were called in to deal with the missile. They pronounced it still active, saying that if it had detonated the explosion would have endangered his neighbours too. It was destroyed using a controlled explosion."We've had many problems because of these unexploded bombs which have been in the ground since the Second World War but this is really crazy. How can you hit a bomb with the hammer? It could have exploded any time," said a fire department spokesman. Source: www.ananova.com | | By: Stroke News - We can change your life | | |
| | Iran´s secret long-range missile site | | 2008-04-11 13:29:00 | | Israel Matzav - The Times of London has released photographs of a 'secret' long-range missile site southeast of Tehran from which Iran is said to be capable of firing missiles having a range of 6000 kilometers. That would be more than enough to reach Europe.The imagery has pinpointed the facility from where the Iranians launched their Kavoshgar 1 “research rocket” on February 4, claiming that it was in connection with their space programme.Analysis of the photographs taken by the Digital Globe QuickBird satellite four days after the launch has revealed a number of intriguing features that indicate to experts that it is the same site where Iran is focusing its efforts on developing a ballistic missile with a range of about 6,000km (4,000 miles). | | By: THE NEW BABYLON TIMES | | |
| | Indians ‘involved’ in missile technology smuggling | | 2008-03-19 12:43:00 | | Dawn -- An employee of the Indian Embassy in Washington and Indian government agencies conspired with an Indian businessman to obtain secret weapons technology from US companies, the US Justice Department said. The technology they tried to smuggle to India included microprocessors and electronic components used in the development of ballistic missiles, space launch vehicles and fighter jets.The businessman, Parthasarathy Sudarshan, entered a guilty plea in a federal court in Washington, admitting that he was part of the arms conspiracy.The plea suggests that the Indian government violated a ‘pledge’ made in 2004 that it would not try to bypass US export-control laws and regulations imposed after India tested a nuclear weapon in 1998.Documents by the Justice Department showed that Mr Sudarshan worked closely with an Indian Embassy employee identified only as “co-conspirator A”. | | By: THE NEW BABYLON TIMES | | |

It therefore proposes to systematically destroy Hamas institutions one by one until its rule of Gaza caves in.The IDF has now set itself the following targets:Every Palestinian military and security installation belonging to Hamas, as well as its Al Dawa social welfare branches used as meeting places and the money changers’ places of business.A series of ground operations on the same lines as the Sejayia raid will be launched to drive Hamas and its allied terrorist groups out of northern Gaza – the sites of most missile launches against Ashkelon and Sderot.

India is building a nuclear-powered submarine expected to start sea trials next year. It would be able to launch ballistic missiles.Submarine-launched ballistic missiles would give India second strike capabilities if its land- or air-based weapons were disabled.India's current crop of missiles includes the short-range Prithvi ballistic missile, the medium-range Agni and Akash missiles , the anti-tank Nag and the supersonic Brahmos missile, developed jointly with Russia. | | By: THE NEW BABYLON TIMES | | |
| | THAAD Theatre High Altitude Area Defense Missile System, USA | | 2008-02-22 22:19:00 | | The THAAD (Theatre High Altitude Area Defense) missile system is an easily transportable defensive weapon system to protect against hostile incoming threats such as tactical and theatre ballistic missiles at ranges of 200km and at altitudes up to 150km.The THAAD system provides the upper tier of a 'layered defensive shield' to protect high value strategic or tactical sites such as airfields or populations centres. The THAAD missile intercepts exo-atmospheric and endo-atmospheric threats.The sites would also be protected with lower- and medium-tier defensive shield systems such as the Patriot PAC-3 which intercepts hostile incoming missiles at 20 to 100 times lower altitudes.THAAD PROGRAMMEThe US Army is expected to acquire 80 to 99 THAAD launchers, 18 ground-based radars and a total of 1,422 THAAD missiles.

| | Success! US Missile Nails Satellite | | 2008-02-21 01:07:38 | | Let the rest of the world tremble at our power!Missle-tmby luvnewsAP:A Navy missile soaring 130 miles above the Pacific smashed a dying and potentially deadly U.S. spy satellite Wednesday and probably destroyed a tank carrying 1,000 pounds of toxic fuel, officials said.Officials had expressed cautious optimism that the missile would hit the satellite, which was the size of a school bus. But they were less certain of hitting the smaller, more problematic fuel tank, whose contents posed what Bush administration officials deemed a potential health hazard to humans if it landed intact.In a statement announcing that the Navy missile struck the satellite, the Pentagon said, "Confirmation that the fuel tank has been fragmented should be available within 24 hours." It made no mention of early indications, but a defense official close to the situation said later that officials monitoring the collision saw what appeared to be an explosion, indicating that the fuel tank was hit.They are saying th | | By: Needs Of The Many | | |
| | The successful test-firing of an Israeli long-range nuclear-capable missile Thursday timed for Russian naval exercise | | 2008-01-19 14:49:00 | | DEBKAFile - It was coordinated with the US Missile Defense Program.Israeli and US defense officials tied up the last ends during President George. W. Bush’s visit last week. The successful test of a propulsion system for the dual-stage missile from the Palmahim base Thursday, Jan. 17The new system can propel the missile to any point on earth – an intercontinental capability owned only by the US, Russia, China and FranceThe test’s context was as much the huge Russian naval maneuver launched in the Mediterranean Tuesday, Jan. 16, as missile and potential nuclear threats from Iran. Eleven vessels were drawn for the war game from two Russian fleets, Atlantic Northwest and Black Sea. It is led by the Admiral Kuznetsov air carrier with 47 warplanes and 10 helicopters on board and the Moskva missile cruiser.The Israeli propulsion test coincided with a tactical Russian missile launch and landed in the same part of the sea. It sent out a signal that the entire Mediterranean, including the permanent bases Moscow is in the course of establishing in the Syrian naval ports of Tartous and Latakia, are within range. Our military sources report that US Sixth Fleet vessels cordoned off the landing area of the Israeli missile and prevented Russian ships from closely tracking its course.Western military sources sum up the test as demonstrating that while Iran was still in the development stage of its ballistic missiles, Israel had raced ahead and left the Islamic Republic standing. | | By: THE NEW BABYLON TIMES | | |
| | | American Airlines Appears To Not Want Anti-Missile System | | 2008-01-05 18:39:00 | | In the Conservative Voice site today was an article about anti-missile systems moving into testing phases for commercial aircraft titled, "Airline to test anti-missile system." One would think this to be considered a GOOD thing. But after reading through the article, it sounds like American Airlines isn't particularly thrilled at the prospect. At least, that's the way it reads to me and I'm sure there will be those who think differently than I after reading it.As it goes, starting this spring, three American Airlines jets will be outfitted with anti-missile defense systems. These tests won't be performed on actual passenger flights. The article reveals that the first aircraft, a 767-200 will be outfitted in April. The tests are to determine how the equipment will hold up under flight conditions.Per the statement in the article from American Airlines, "American said it is "not in favor" of putting anti-missile systems on commercial planes but agreed to take part in the tests to understand technologies that might be available in the future." Uh, is there any other reason to participate in the tests then?The U.K.-based BAE Systems PLC was awarded a $29 million contract from the Department of Homeland Security to test it on passenger planes. And American Airlines has been working in conjunction with BAE for a couple years. So what is the point of all that work if you don't want the stuff on your planes? I just don't get it.There are, according to the article, several tests left to be completed. One of which is to create a system that will initially hold up for at least 3,000 hours and to be followed by a system that will withstand 4,500 hours of use. BAE expects to test a system which it expects to last up to 7,000 hours by 2009. The systems at current, cost approximately $500 thousand to $1 million per aircraft. Nice price tag. That does give some cause for me to understand why AA isn't fully on the bus. Then again, it would be more costly if your the only serve | | By: Hoopy Frood Dude | | |

| | Advanced Russian Air Defense Missile Cannot Protect Syrian and Iranian Skies | | 2007-09-13 19:28:00 | | DEBKA - The Pantsyr-S1E missiles, purchased from Russia to repel air assailants, failed to down the Israeli jets accused of penetrating northern Syrian airspace from the Mediterranean the night before.The new Pantsyr missiles therefore leave Syrian and Iranian airspace vulnerable to hostile intrusion.Western intelligence circles stress that information on Russian missile consignments to Syria or Iran is vital to any US calculation of whether to attack Iran over its nuclear program. They assume that the “absolute jamming immunity” which the Russian manufactures promised for the improved Pantsyr missiles was immobilized by superior electronic capabilities exercised by the jets before they were “forced to leave.” | | By: THE NEW BABYLON TIMES | | |

| | | Finding holes in the US Missile Defense Shield | | 2007-07-10 19:32:18 | | In an interesting commentary in Le Monde, French historian Alexandre Adler calls out some obvious inconsistencies in the US plans to deploy its missile defense shield in Poland and the Czech Republic. The bottom line in his article is something that has been discussed and concluded numerous times and claims that Russia's position is justified as it sees no basis for the system, it sees no threats, it sees no justification for such rapid action.But Mr. Adler brings into point the fact that although NATO countries have agreed with the US regarding the need for the system, the missile defense system will be under US management.The envisaged system will form part of the US strategic forces, not those of NATO, taking all right of inspection or discussion from the European allies, as well as from the Russians, represented in Brussels by a liaison mission whose importance was once deemed to be considerable.Despite US promises to give the right of inspection to Russian military officials of the planned missile defense sites, the fact that the system will be out of NATO jurisdiction means Russia will have little say in what happens next to the system as it will not be able to use its position in the Russia-NATO council (Russia fears most the future expansion of the missile defense sites). The military aspects of the system are also briefly analyzed in the Le Monde commentary:Thanks to the radar system set up on Czech territory, the two main Russian intercontinental missile bases would at last be covered by permanent means of observation; currently, only satellites, whose field of vision remains random, enable the United States to monitor the silos. That means quite simply that the United States would acquire an antiforce first strike capability whose nightmarish threat had, however, disappeared at the end of the eighties.Mr. Adler suggests the US use the proposal by Vladimir Putin regarding the Gabala station in Azerbaijan; yet we are all aware of the slim chances for that | | By: Russia\\\'s True Tales of Terra | | |

| | No Missile Shield in Azerbaijan | | 2007-06-14 23:48:00 | | So, Putin decided to make himself look a little nicer than he is; he offered to make a "compromise" on the whole missile shield situation. This paragraph from Stratfor pretty much sums it up.By rejecting the proposal, Washington would look hostile and uncompromising. Accepting it would mean basing the missiles near the Iranian border, possibly too close to intercept long-range missiles fired from there. Using Russian radar -- which currently is insufficient for U.S. needs -- would make the entire system dependent on Russian cooperation. And pulling the system from Poland would be a signal to Central Europe that military agreements with the United States are subject to negotiation with the Russians. That, of course, is exactly the signal Putin wants sent.If, and only if, Bush decides to go through with the missile shield, he shouldn't build it in Azerbaijan. | | By: Thoughts on the World | | |

| | Vladimir and George talk about the Missile Shield : The "phony" Cold War draws to a close | | 2007-06-08 05:43:00 | | Significant progress was made yesterday at the G8 summit in Germany during the meeting between George Bush and Vladimir Putin on the issue of the US plans for the deployment of an ABM system in Europe. But despite the relief that the discussion has caused by taking any "Cold War" analogies off the table, the US ABM shield issue is far from over, and many questions still remain which have little hope for an answer at the moment.But the most important development is the fact that Russia now accepts the need for close cooperation on the US ABM deployment by its borders; it thus acknowledges that the US and Russia have common threats in the Middle East, particularly Iran. A cooperation with the US on missile defense from Iran, amongst others, also suggests that Russia is making more steps toward the US position on Iran's nuclear weapons development.
