I remember Baxter relating how, whilst he was leading a
fighter sweep over The Hague,
a V2 lifted off right in front of him, Kammler’s lads at work, and he squeezed
the tit reflex like. Result? De nada.
Decades later and I now know just how hard it was to spot
those mobile fire units. Oh so lucky for the so called Allies that the
Reichkriminalrats were all hard for hard stands.
Fast forward from 1944/45 to 1990/91 and the same problem
surfaces. No one can find Saddam’s V2 derivatives despite the most expensive
quantum optic and heterodyne systems ever deployed.
Well we all know why that was. Mobile.
Fast forward from 1990/91 to 2013/16 period and what do we
have?
“Accuracy of satellite images on Saudi missile site
skeptical: Araqchi
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, July 16, IRNA -- Foreign Ministry
spokesman Abbas Araqchi said Tuesday that accuracy of the reports about some
satellite images which detected a missile site in Saudi
Arabia targeting Iran and the Zionist regime was
'disputable'.
'Definitely, there is a conspiracy behind the timing of releasing the
report,' Araqchi told reporters at his weekly press conference referring to the
issue as 'suspicious.'
He reiterated that Tehran
is scrutinizing the issue.
He argued that the conspiracy was 'to escalate tensions between the two
major and influential regional states of Iran
and Saudi Arabia, especially
in the present critical condition that Iran is experiencing a transitional
period of government change.'
A reportedly prominent defense analysis group has recently announced it has
identified a previously undisclosed missile site in Saudi
Arabia's desert with signs suggesting Iran and the
Zionist regime could be targeted in a possible launch from the location.
The report was published Thursday by the London-based IHS Jane's
Intelligence Review which is a monthly journal on military intelligence. It
covers international security issues, ongoing conflicts, organized crime, and
weapons proliferation.
The report assesses satellite imagery that indicates launch pads oriented in
the direction of Iran
and the Zionist regime.
'It is suspicious that the images are released when president-elect Hassan
Rohani is busy preparing the grounds for the start of his government,' Araqchi
noted.
Reiterating Tehran's policy of establishing
friendly relations with Riyadh
based on mutual respect, Araqchi said, 'Although the two capitals do not share
identical views regarding various issues, the solution is not to settle the
disputes by missiles.”

“Saudi Arabia
'targeting Iran and Israel with
ballistic missiles'
Saudi Arabia
is targeting both Israel and
Iran
with powerful ballistic missiles, new satellite photography shown by military
experts to The Telegraph suggests.

Images analysed by
experts at
IHS Jane's Intelligence Review has revealed
a hitherto undisclosed surface-to-surface missile base deep in the
Saudi
desert, with capabilities for hitting both countries.
Analysts who examined the photos spotted two launch pads with markings
pointing north-west towards Tel Aviv and north-east towards Tehran. They are designed for Saudi Arabia's
arsenal of lorry-launched DF 3 missiles, which have a range of 1,500-2,500
miles and can carry a two-ton payload.
The base, believed to have been built within the last five years, gives an
insight into Saudi strategic thinking at a time of heightened tensions in the
Gulf.
While Saudi Arabia does
not have formal diplomatic relations with
Israel,
it has long maintained discreet back channel communications as part of attempts
to promote stability in the region.
The two countries also have a mutual enemy in
Iran,
though, which has long seen Saudi
Arabia as a rival power in the Gulf. Experts
fear that if Iran obtains a
nuclear weapon, Saudi Arabia
would seek to follow suit.

Analysts at
IHS Jane's believe that the kingdom is currently in the
process of upgrading its missiles, although even the DF3, which dates back to
the 1980s, is itself potentially big enough to carry a nuclear device.
The missile base, which is at al-Watah, around 125 miles south-west of the
Saudi capital, Riyadh, was discovered during a project by
IHS Jane's to
update their assessment of Saudi Arabia's military capabilities.
It serves as both a training and launch facility, with the missiles stored
in an underground silo built into a rocky hillside. To the north of the
facility are two circle-shaped launch pads, both with compass-style markings
showing the precise direction that the launchers should fire in.
The Chinese-made missiles, which date back to the 1980s, are not
remotely-guided and therefore have to be positioned in the direction of their
target before firing.
"One appears to be aligned on a bearing of approximately 301 degrees
and suggesting a potential Israeli target, and the other is oriented along an
azimuth (bearing) of approximately 10 degrees, ostensibly situated to target
Iranian locations," said the
IHS Jane's article, which is published
on Thursday.
While the lorry-launched missiles can theoretically be fired from any
location, the idea of having pre-planned directional markers is to ensure that
they can be deployed in accurate fashion as quickly as possible, said Allison
Puccioni, an image expert at
IHS Jane's.
"There is a marked out spot for the launch truck to park in, which will
facilitate an expedited launch," she said.
Robert Munks, deputy editor of
IHS Jane's Intelligence Review, said:
"Our assessment suggests that this base is either partly or fully
operational, with the launch pads pointing in the directions of Israel and Iran respectively. We cannot be
certain that the missiles are pointed specifically at Tel Aviv and Tehran themselves, but if
they were to be launched, you would expect them to be targeting major cities.
"We do not want to make too many inferences about the Saudi strategy,
but clearly Saudi Arabia
does not enjoy good relations with either Iran
or Israel."
Officials at the Saudi Embassy in London
did not get back with a response when contacted by
The Telegraph. The
Israeli Embassy in London
said: "We have no comment on this matter."
David Butter, an associate fellow with the Middle East and North Africa
program at Chatham House, the London-based foreign affairs think-tank, said
there was "little surprise" that the Saudis had the missiles in
place.
"It would seem that they are looking towards some sort of deterrent
capability, which is an obvious thing for them to be doing, given that Iran too is
developing its own ballistic missiles," he said.
He added, though, that the Saudis would know that the site would come to the
attention of foreign intelligence agencies, and that the missile pad pointed in
the direction of Israel
could be partly just "for show".
"It would give the Iranians the impression that they were not being
exclusively targeted, and would also allow the Saudis to suggest to the rest of
the Arab world that they still consider Israel a threat."
Oil-rich Saudi Arabia
considers itself one of the pre-eminent powers in the Gulf region, but its
Sunni Islam leadership has long been at loggerheads with the Shia mullahs of Iran. The
ongoing conflict in Syria,
which Saudi Arabia has
backed the Sunni-dominated rebels and Iran has backed the Shia-dominated
regime of President Bashar al-Assad, has heightened fears of a wider sectarian
conflict.
A confidential diplomatic cable revealed in the "WikiLeaks"
disclosures of 2010 said that King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia repeatedly exhorted
the United States to launch military strikes against Iran's nuclear programme
and "cut off the head of the snake" “

What caused this sudden navel gazing?
I wandered over to an old fave for the first time in ages.
“Jane's on Saudi, more info
My next Jane's Intelligence Review article is being
published/posted to their web this week. The topic: Saudi Arabia's
ballistic missile force. Some of you will remember that I covered the
topic here a few years ago. That article has been removed for a while to
maintain the exclusivity or whatever you want to call it (my decision, not
theirs), but the new one is more than simply a re-write. For one, there
are different facilities examined.
The editors think there is a chance this goes over in a big way with some of
the press for various reasons I don't want to spoil, but now that it's in the
bag I'll actually get back to working on what I was supposed to be working on
around here!
Given that the FSA appears to be committing revolution fail, the Syrian air
defense piece is being shelved and will instead take its "normal"
place inside an I&A issue. The first thing to actually finish will be
the S-300P history update, and then it's back into I&A and cleaning out the
exploding Gmail inbox.
Incidentally, I'm looking for more interesting ways to monetize my existence.
If you know of anyone looking for imagery analysis work or something
similar, send a note my way. I'd also be amused to try my hand at the
lecture circuit, for that matter, although how one breaks into such a thing is
beyond me at this juncture.
Back to work!

Anything other than 'Al Watah, Al Sulayyil and Al Jufayr' covered?
No, Al-Watah is the new place covered that was
omitted the first time around.
Al Jufayr' - where is it? can't find on the globe

Did you read this?
http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/library/news/iran/2013/iran-130716-irna01.htm?_m=3n.002a.857.bc0ao01zvx.s6p
That's pretty amusing. The bits about where the
missiles are potentially targeted are basically a few sentences in the entire
article, so it figures that's what is causing the most stress! Plus, what is disputable
about the accuracy? If you stick DF-3 pads somewhere, it stands to reason it's
a DF-3 site. The only thing in dispute is where they are actually pointed, but
to conclusively answer that (I don't claim conclusiveness in the article, just
a possibility) I'd have to know exactly how the guidance system operates.
Somebody call the PRC and get on that.
http://geimint.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/janes-on-saudi-more-info.html
So let us sum up what we have here.
A scare the shit out of the natives terror piece.
1. Saud
does not threaten Tel Aviv. One wrong move and Roth will call in ChiComm space marines
who will turn Riyadh
into a smoking shit hole and torch the wells. ChiComm Marines do not do nation
building, they will neutron bomb any hostile built up area. Unlike the
corrupted fuckwitz that run NATO the ChiComms have studied the lessons to be
learned from house to house clearing a la Stalingrad, Hue City, Bagdad et al.
BTW what makes you think that the ChiComms NEED oil?
2. Look
at that trajectory westwards to RCE/TA from Wahabii Central, that extends up into
Europe. BWAHAHAHAHAHA.
3. All
the states that are real terror states like RCE/TA, ChiCommland and Saudi Arabia
are allowed by Roth to get their hands on His nukes without any MSM murmurings.
Remember Rothschild paid for all the world’s nukes. They are HIS. Get that
through your thick skulls western phukkmuppets! He will do with them as he
wishes.
4. Places
that get demonised like Iran
and NthKorea are areas getting nukes out with Roth control. They are illegal in
Roth Law. NK got theirs from IJN in 1945 and Iran wants their nuclear industry
because it is not being lead by Malthusian Roth Bitchboys.
5. Fixed
positions get taken out by global strike. Mobile launch systems are much more
effective.
6. Big
Silence like orphaned drone, submarine silos or drift nets are the way to go.
7. Big
Bird and secular nuns operate above all these visible military systems for
Rothgod.
What one needs to do is make the main target defenceless.
Are you thinking like a Rothgod yet?
Can you imagine putting the Irish famine, native genocide by Rothgods, into
play in the 21
st century? If not then get lost, you are useless
here. Imagine what you would need to do to strip USofA corp of its food to send
to your latest market clearing project in ChiCommland/India.
Now think of something that you wouldn’t normally think of, like Dr
Strangelove. Well imagine a USofA corp military too scared to do squat. Now
think of Seven days in May. Instead of rogue US Generals think Roth
Maobitchboys as POTUS. Twighlights Last Gleaming is an inside job and your
crops are dust.
Get the FEMA complex to round up the natives after causing Trotskyist
constant revolution to turn into instant revulsion et voila.
Got the Rothgod vibe yet?
Good.
Let us continue then.
We’ve mentioned Iskander in Konigsberg,
Turkish ChiComm alignments and NK false pawn moves here for over 6 years now
and still the main move awaits.
I have mentioned that the 50 years of grace bought by Nixon, actually a
Kissinger gift from the Rothgod, that has kept ChiComms quiet as they
reindustrialised as a normalised Rothgodstate will come to an end in 2020. The
inconvenience of USofA corp, white like the Irish abos, to Rothgod will not be
forgiven. How dare USofA corp steal His nukes in 1944/45!!! USofA has caused
the ChiComm holy army to remain bottled up for a good 70 years beyond use by
date now by being too western, so western, just western. Well that affront to
Rothgod will stop soon. Good bye western man you dullards.
Now don’t let me make you all mizz by pointing out that there are tides in
the flow of history when taken………by pointing out that the tide against western
man started over 3000 years ago and has not suffered any set back, ever. Just
because your parliaments are functioning does not make them western when they
are stuffed with Chaldeans, Arabs, Africans and any other collection of rent
seekers that can work your system better than you can. Have you not noticed
that all your systems do not have you leading them?
Where is the Kernovian boss of the IMF. Where is the Jute head of the Fed?
Where is the Gaul leading BIS? Where are the
Russ in the ICC Hague? How come no Greek is organising subversion of the
Knesset and making the Rothgod pay reparations to humanity? How come there is
no Pictish cult trashing Bohemia
grove and buttfucking Phoenecian idols and assorted bishops of Ba’al Hammon?
How come Suomi aren’t defacing Moses shrines and setting fire to money temples?
How come no genocide museums are being set up globally by Europeans to remind everyone of
the actual, real undeniable, the slaughter of Ukranians by Talmudic
Yahweistmoneymonkeybrainatheists?
The results are in. Enough time has passed. A decision can be made.
Conclusions are inescapable.
Leaders of western man and woman, you are the weakest link.
Always have been, always are, always will be useless traitors.
