Tehran should be a smoking ruin by now, given it is a terror sponsoring state and lying about its underground nuclear program... but I guess you are happy that both the US and Israeli are restrained for the moment- the Israelis caught up in 36 months of Intifada, us bogged down in both Afghanistan and Iraq. I only live for the day one of the two or both strike Iran and shoot their aircraft out of the skies. Better yet, let Iran fire a salvo of IRBMs at Israel and watch as Tehran disappears in a mushroom cloud. Rob |

I know about ABMS and ICBMS, and S.R.B.M. as well as M.R.B.MS are but never read anything till here about "IRBMS". ABM = Anti Balistic missile with the purpose to destroy an inbound missle before it hits the target. ICBM = Inter-Contental Balistic Missile - the mainstay of the Cold War for years. They have enough range to hit any target inside any distant nation. They do mostly by reaching a high altitude appagee and flying over the North pole for the old USSR, and Over the Pacific for China, while over the Atlantic for Europe and Africa. South America (the farther reaches would be reached by direct path flights over the Equater from our more Southern Silos. MRBM - Medium Range Balistic Missiles are incapable of flying the distances between the Old Soviet Block, US or US and China. The Soviets in the early 1960s placed this type in Cuba and from there put our south and Eastern States in range with a less than 20 minute warning at most. Since they are fired from closer the time from a launch to detonation is much shorter. That is their main value. SRBM are short range missiles, to that point they fall under Tactical or actual Battlefield Weapons. Very low in range but hits the target in under 5 minutes. No time given the enemy to react. However the drawback is that your own troops may be exposed to the Blast, heat and radiation from the detonation as well. The US at one time proposed to use these if West Germany was invaded to destroy the invading army. Like the City of Way we would destroy half of the area to save the area. Play on a General's words as the US had almost destroyed the city to force out the last of the VC in the Tet Offensive. What is a "IRBM". Jane's Does not list it at all so what is it some ray gun or what? ROFLH at the person that warned about them. -- MattA ?subject=HepatitusC-Objectives Matt's Hep-C Story web pages are back at a home.

Get your copy of Janes Strategic Weapons Systems off the shelf and start reading, there's quite a lot of data on IRBMs in there, plus the contents of all the strategic weapons treaties from SALT 1 onwards.

Peter Kemp Funny the latest copy I have the update for calls them Medium Range not Intermediate, perhaps they are using both terms based on the person that does that particular entry. It was also called Medium Range when they all the sources about the Cuban Missile Crisis describe the class of Missiles being set up by the Soviets there and when they talk of the old Jupiter sites in Turkey of that time. -- MattA ?subject=HepatitusC-Objectives Matt's Hep-C Story web pages are back at a home.

Then why does Jane's Catalog of weapons held by all nations by nation and by catagory not mention them? Because Jane's is but a pale shadow of its former august self. As a useful reference it has gone very far downhill in the last 10 years or so. I suspect that one of heir problems has been that they split themselves much to thin in that timeframe, producing over-specialized volumes that basically parrot the manucafturer's press releases with very littel cogent analysis. (Now, really - Is "Jane's All the World's Air Freight Cargo Containers really worth $150.00 US per volume? Should I be saving my hard-earned for "All the World's Armoured Fighting Vehicle Track End Connectors?" I gave up & went with Brassey's instead.
