http://www.swissinfo.org/sen/swissinfo.html?siteSect=143&sid=6598533&cKey=1143994683000TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran said on Sunday it had test fired what it described as the world's fastest underwater missile during a week of war games in the Gulf, Iranian state television reported.
"The world's fastest underwater missile was successfully test fired on the third day of the 'Holy Prophet war games'," state television reported in a caption without giving a source or details.
Western nations have been watching developments in Iran's missile capabilities with concern amid a standoff over the Iranian nuclear programme, which the West says is aimed at building atomic bombs. Iran says the program is civilian.
On Friday, Iran's armed forces said they had successfully test fired a domestically produced missile from land which could evade radar.
My bullshit meter is beginning to peg on some of these "new" Iranian weapons. I guess if they really do have them now is the time to show them off, but I am really skeptical about this "worlds fastest" stuff.
