Iran to make long-range artillery ammo
Sun Aug 29, 2010 7:7AM
Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi has inaugurated the production line of Iran's longest-range artillery ammunitions.
Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the mass production of Base bleed projectiles in the capital Tehran, General Vahidi said the new 130 millimeter advanced artillery shells will be the longest range artillery shells in arsenals of the Islamic Republic's army, Iran's Defense Ministry said on its website.
“These ammunitions use solid propellants and act like ballistic missiles,” the Iranian defense minister noted.
He also lauded Iranian experts at the arms production division of the country's defense industries for their efforts to modify the base bleed system in order to further enhance the range of the ammunitions from 27 to 42 kilometers.
The defense minister also said such achievements demonstrate that sanctions against Iran have been ineffective.
Base bleed is a system used on some artillery shells to increase their range, typically by about 30%.
Reshaping some artillery shells can significantly reduce the drag on the shells' nose when soaring at supersonic speeds.
Engineers have come up with certain aerodynamic re-patterning of suitable artillery shells to give them proper ballistics through boosting thrust and diminishing airflow pressure.

...bet you meant Israel and not Iran.
If Murder, torture, bombing, land theft and rape of children like in Israel is civilized then Iran in fact belongs to the civilized World.

In many respects, he reminds me of Bulov, a man that simply cannot see the wood from the trees. He accuses of Iran of not being civilized but the countries that he credits as being civilized attack and invade other sovereign countries to steal their resources.
These so-called civilized countries attack ships carrying aid to Gaza and murder persons on board those ships claiming that they were attacked by the persons on the ship, which the whole world knows is a big lie.
These so-called civilized countries have been bombing countries that do not agree with their hegemonic policices, while accusing them of being terrorist supporters; again another pack of lies.
These so-called civilized countries are the only countries that have used nuclear weapons and chemical weapons on innocent civilians, with impunity. They regularly bomb wedding parties; drone-bomb houses they suspect of harbouring terrorist and when the authorities move in, the people killed are little children and women for the most part.
But it's not a surprise because everything in this world is upside down. War is peace, and killing is pacifying, and freedom fighters are terrorists; especially when those freedom fighters live in the country and are natives of the country fighting to rid their country of these evil invaders.
What a sick world we live in!!
