You know so much yet you do not know they carry out tests? Weapons must be tested and in contained areas. Russia and America got secret military and tactical information at the height of the cold war, how?
Movies? Just keep quiet.
If you think the latest weapon under test are made public, sorry for yourself. If America tells you today they have 20,000 fighter jets and 600,000 ballistic missiles, believe it at your own peril. No powerful countries exposes their exact military might.

Very funny I must confess. Sometimes I just read some comments and shake my head.

sorry for the typo in my earlier comment.
when the president said, Nigerian youth are unintelligent and lazy they all came out wailing but I stand bold to say Mr President was right this are clear cut evidence.
a good number of them speak base on sentiment born of their love for usa. little would some of them know it took usa a decade to fight the 1990 gulf war with Iraq that is of no match to Iran. little do they know that the main atom of terrorism in the world is usa.
I get cold when some goons come of line to say Russia is no match with usa, no no no this generation of youths are a set of wrong breed to have. hardly do they realise Russia is gradually deploying the same weapon usa employed to topple it.
Russia is about deploying usa arsenal against it, in the form of the same set of terrorist you groomed would I send after you.

You guys just like talking nonsense. Go and do some research and you will find out that the Houthis in Yemen used the same Fateh ballistic missiles in attacks on Saudi Arabian oil installations some months ago.

19 missiles were fired and all but two hit their targets with precision causing serious damage that lead to the cutting by half of Saudi Oil production capacity.

The Saudis have the very expensive US made Patriot Air Defence System in place and it failed to intercept the missiles.

Moreover, the US does have Patriot Air Defence Systems in place to protect their troops and assets in the region.

If you research further you will also find out that the Iranians had an option of deploying their advanced cruise missiles in the attack on the US airbases. Cruise missiles cannot be detected by ground based radars and cannot be intercepted by air defence systems. This is due to their low flying trajectory and high speed.
Iran is a missiles superpower. Everyone knows this, even erratic Trump.

Over 22 ballistic missiles, 5 impact points... Where d remaining missiles hit
Because of this. I guess they were also careful not to hit other countries base, hence, a continuous concentration of the missile at a point; multiple times.

Timely and expected attack from Iran.

Trump made them look like cowards, and this retaliation (even if much damage wasn't done), would help save their face a bit.

With this attack, Iranians feel that they've been avenged of their murdered General, and the US doesn't lose much either. More like a win-win for everyone.

The matter has died, finally

Modified

I said that the attack was 'timely' because Iran really didn't intend to kill any US citizen (following the threats from Trump). Killing a citizen of the US would have stretched the matter much further and, no matter how you try to look at it, Iran lacks the military might to fight the US in any way; and therefore, will rather push money into their crawling economy than spend more money trying to be at war with a world power.

So, it's not a question of how much damage was done to the US, what matters is that they had their revenge (anyhow), and everyone is comfortable with it.

Exactly my view on this. thanks

I see some kids who just started following world politics since Trump, quoting me... grin

While I'm not in support of Iran and their shenanigans, I just can't understand what people who are mostly ignorant, are masturbating about and would believe this is a battle between Christianity and Islam, or good and bad.

If you are one of those who think this is a war of Good vs. Evil and not some old age long bully cum supremacy battle then you need to read up some more, listen to more intellectuals speak, and be quiet while at it.

I was telling someone yesterday that Trump has set a very very bad precedent of assassinating a sovereign nation's Rep. Military/Civilian in a non-war situation and that with time, this will become a norm and guess who'd be crying terrorists by then?

The person I was having this discussion with had already gone all sentimental and cussing as if we were both Iranian and American respectively. To him, Trump was God sent to wipe out the useless Iran who do not want Christians to live, and are seeking to obliterate Israel "God's own people" and by extension his own people because he is a Christian. Little did my guy know that a typical orthodox Jew doesn't see him (a black man) as a human being and would have no problems crucifying him to the stakes, just as they did Jesus, neither are the streets of Saudi (America's strongest ally in the region) littered with Churches.

If indeed America feels Iraq is oppressive or a threat to other religions/world, what is not oppressive in Saudi Arabia, a country that would lure a journalist citizen to it's embassy, murder him, and have his body chopped up based on orders from above.

People need to go back and read up on the Iranian revolution of the late '70s to see how the country was under the then leader 'Sha' before the revolution was backed to unseat him, welcome the present Islamic hardcores presently ruling the country.

In years to come, Saudi will have a taste of all they see and instigate their neighbors to go through. History never lies.

When Saddam was holding the Shites in Iraq to ransom and positioning Iran, he was the US best friend. But when they found a way to get him out of the way on trumped-up charges, they didn't remember Iran would be eyeing to take over one of their strongholds which is Iraq based on the shite population there.

i'm happy everything has been resolved at least no WW111! Iran knew that killing any US personnel in reprisal would have led to a full scale war and they would have lost out, imagine some of the missile they sent did not explode on impact, some off target this goes to show that in a real war situation Iran would have been easily wiped off from the surface of the earth

In 2015 a long-range cruise missile was revealed under the name “Soumar”. The design closely resembles the Kh-55 that Iran acquired from Ukraine in 2001. [4] Because of the similarities media have speculated its range as between 2000 and 3000 km. [
