Over at the Corner, Andy McCarthy links to this story from Haaretz:
A commander in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said Wednesday that a commando unit has engraved the military organization’s emblem into the side panel of an American warship stationed in the Persian Gulf.
Nur Ali Shushkari, the head of the Revolutionary Guards ground forces, told Iranian pro-government news agencies that the symbol was etched onto the ship by the crew of a submarine that had managed to reach the U.S. vessel without detection by radar.
Sometimes it seems like there is no limit to what Iranian military technology can do. Not long ago, Defense Tech ran an item on Iranian missile technology titled “Iran’s Super Missile Will Defeat Great Satan, Steal Your Girlfriend.” The post runs down some of the more “laughable” claims Iranian officials have made about what their missiles can do. Now they are claiming that their submarines can avoid detection by radar–what a breakthrough!
