Qassed Enjoys a High Degree of Precision as it
Closes in on its Target.
Tehran, March 01, 2010 (Hamsayeh.Net) - Iranian military
Plans to test-fire a new generation of a smart bomb with
awesome power. The new bomb called Qassed (Herald) weighs
900 kg and is an optimized version of an earlier model
currently in service.
The Qassed II, is an air to ground bomb with knight vision
capabilities. It enjoys a high degree of precision as it
closes in on its target. The smaller version Qassed I has
already been tested and it is now in mass production. The
latest model is larger and therefore has greater
destructive power.
The Iranian Commander said of the US Patriot system
deployment in some Persian Gulf states as something not too
new because they (the US) had previously deployed similar
systems before without much success. He added that the
Pentagon is currently expanding its land to sea missile
systems to counter what it calls the Iranian threat.
Oil rich Persian Gulf Arab states have signed major military
contracts with Washington worth billions of euros. The US is
setting up missile defence systems all around the globe. It
plans to install anti-missile systems in Taiwan against
China, in Poland, Romania against Russia, in the Persian
Gulf states against Iran as well as other places in South
America.
