Snapped Shot

Always Watching the All-Seeing Eye

 

King Sofa Missile Company

There's an old joke that goes something along the lines of the headline—one that is particularly applicable to this latest Iranian wonder:

"We Todd did."

Orig: For the anniversary of the “Holy Defense”, the start of war with Iraq, among other activities, street exhibitions of Islamic Republic’s military might were held in different cities. This picture shows a missile, apparently called “Retard”. (Kamangir)


Thanks for the laugh, Arash!

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*Russian English?

I take it these are russian arms?
Then why is there english on it?
Or are those russian letters meaning something else but only looks like the english word RETARD'd ??

Either way, I take it these are going to be used to bomb Israeli runways or bunkers? If these are going to be used to bomb Israeli homes, then say good bye to Iran.

*Russian? Probably not, most likely straight ripoff of 1960's American stuff... The "Retard" bomb appears to be a copy of the mk81 Snakeye of Vietnam "Snake and Nape" fame. They are, actually, referred to as "retarded" bombs in technical parlance, but certainly not by anyone familiar with American idiom...

However, since the intended usage of these bombs presupposes a viable delivery system (well trained pilots flying at balls-of-steel-low altitude), I think "retard" about sums it up.
