Iranian President Ahmadinejad announces Iran’s first domestically built drone bomber.
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Opinion on 22/Aug/2010 12:32
“Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is hailing the country’s first domestically built drone bomber. The unmanned aircraft, unveiled Sunday, is the latest in a series of Iranian announcements of military advances.
The Iranian military displayed the drone, dubbed the Karrar – or “striker” – at a ceremony attended by top officials. State media say it can carry out long-range attacks up to 1,000 kilometers carrying a 200-kilogram bomb.
President Ahmadinejad called the Karrar a symbol of death to Iran’s enemies.”

First of all, does it seem strange to anyone else that they had this big unveiling at a University? Not making any inferences, just thought that was weird.
I certainly am glad that they have assured us that their nuclear plants are going to be used for peaceful purposes only [taqiyya] and they would never think of attacking anyone with nuclear weapons, even if they happened to accidentally make some [taqiyya] and really, they just want to get along, we don’t need to be at all anxious about them getting new missiles, new drones, all that stuff [taqiyya].
Once that new Cordoba House mosque is built, we will all learn how tolerant [taqiyya] and peaceful [taqiyya] Islam is. They just want to be part of the American Dream [taqiyya] and have no intention at all of trying to change or overcome or tear down our culture [taqiyya].
Anyone who thinks that or says anything negative is just an ignorant bigot who is willing to trash Freedom of Religion in America [taqiyya].

Laser used to shoot down drones
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 19/Jul/2010 19:11
“Laser beams have been used for the first time in naval warfare to shoot down aircraft, it can be disclosed.
The weapon, mounted on a warship’s missile, shot down four unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in secret testing carried out off the California coast.
For the first time a ‘solid state’ 32 mega watt laser beam of directed energy has been fired from a warship to a distance of more than two miles burning into a drone travelling at about 300mph.”
Stanford Creates “bird-like” Plane
Via Danger Room
Stanford University researchers have already figured out how to build a drone that can land on the side of a wall, perch there for a while, and then take back off into air again. The Pentagon would like to make its robotic aircraft even more bird-like. The military recently handed out a trio of contracts to design legs that will let these “micro air vehicles†hang onto a branch in high winds, and run around on the ground if need be. The question is whether these Pentagon-backed firms can top Stanford’s already-impressive results.
