ASM.


This is coolbert:

Read here the entire story of the Chinese designed anti-ship missile that struck an Israeli warship operating off the coast of Lebanon. Did some significant damage, with four Israeli sailors missing. Evidently this is a Chinese missile built in Iran and operated by Iranian Revolutionary Guards fighting along side the forces of Hezbollah.

Two missiles were fired, one striking the Israeli vessel, another striking a cargo vessel much further out at sea??

See here for another blog that contains a full run-down on the Chinese anti-ship missile.

This [the missile attack] IS, combined with the rocket artillery attacks upon Israeli cities, a significant escalation by the Hezbollah and Iranian forces in the low intensity war they have been waging against Israel. Where Israel was once impervious to such actions, they no longer are. This is realized, it seems, now, by a lot of folks.

This is one of the reasons I would guess that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will turn into a war against Iran.
