Israel launches new missile that can reach New York and Tokyo

Israeli military men conducted a successful launch of Jericho-3 intercontinental ballistic missile on Wednesday. The test was carried out at the Palmahim air base, the Irish Times said. At the same time, officials with Israel Defense Forces said that they had conducted the tests of a new missile engine in the morning of November 2. The launch of the missile could be seen from Ashkelon to Tel Aviv, Newsru Israel said. According to publications in the media, the three-stage missile is capable of delivering a 750-kilo warhead to a distance of more than 10,000 kilometers. If the reports about the range of Jericho-3 are true to fact, then it means that the missile can reach such cities as Tokyo and New York. The distance between these two cities and Tel Aviv makes up a bit more than 9,000 kilometers.

According to Western sources, Israel passed the Jericho-3 missile into service in 2008. However, the work on the project still continues, MissileThreat.com says.
According to the publication, the takeoff weight of the missile makes up 29 tons. The missile is 15.5 meters long. The website says that in addition to the 750-kilo nuclear warhead, a Jericho-3 is capable of carrying multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles.

Even though the Jericho-3 is designed for deep underground basing, it will be possible to launch the missile from mobile platforms, including railway platforms. The high speed of the missile makes it practically invincible for interception.

The Palmahim airbase is a range ground for testing various missile systems including Hetz and Jericho. Palmahim is the base for the Hetz-2 missile defense system. In addition, Israel uses the base as a spaceport.

In 2003, Martin van Creveld, a professor of military history at Israel’s Hebrew University, thought that the Al-Aqsa Intifada then in progress threatened Israel's existence.[19] Van Creveld was quoted in David Hirst's "The Gun and the Olive Branch" (2003) as saying:
"We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets for our air force. Let me quote General Moshe Dayan: 'Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother.' I consider it all hopeless at this point. We shall have to try to prevent things from coming to that, if at all possible. Our armed forces, however, are not the thirtieth strongest in the world, but rather the second or third. We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under.[

I believe that I posted this two days ago and I added......"I wonder if we have a Muslim in Congress that they want to kill"... kill 20 millions Americans to kill one Muslim......they would do it to.

i don't know if their are any system-wide factors that keep 70 million Iranians who have 100 billion barrels of oil to finance their tehcnology, from developing their energy generation & self defense nuclear technology.

i don't understand Iran. they have the financing so they can buy the tools they need.

but they don't even have their own fvcking oil refineries. they have to fvcking export their fvcking oil to get fvcking gasoline back.

i don't understand their university-industry technology interchange.


normally, i would think, such a nation with bright people would have covertly developed nuclear self-defense capabilities.

i can't help but wonder if they succeeded.

we will know if we wake up some morning and both Israel and Iran are smoking cinders.

Israel puts the MAD (as in Mad-Dog) in Mutual Assured Destruction.

With all that money they could have bought a couple of nukes from Russia or others.......all that they would need would two or three nukes handy just to show that they mean business.............for example, if I had three nukes I would placed one in the middle of the state of Israel and then tell the world about it and also that we had two more in place, to leave us alone and to not try anything......fifty millions per nukes is a cheap price for peace.
