Looks like there's going to be an opening for a new Minister of Cloning Tool.

At least this was done by a better photoshopper than the associated press had.

Well, that answers my question in another related thread: why'd they bother? I thought they might be going for impact (ooooo...it's four missles!).

It's still a provocative act. But glad to see it's replete with fail.

I wonder if they will pull some other shenanigan to draw attention away from this?

I can tell by the pixels.

This is so stupid it makes me worried because no one is that stupid.

That photo looks remarkably similar to the photos from 2004 and 2006, as well.

Clearly this is something teh j00s planted in their photo.

So basically, three out of four missiles launched...

I'm no photshop expert (Illustrator is where it's at for me), but I would think it would have been better to just crop out the dud missile, no?

Again, not an expert, so I try to keep any photoshop edits as simple as possible when I'm using it.

Meh, every government creates 'composition' photos to put themselves in a better light. However, my concern would be that people use these PR gaffes to downplay the effectiveness of the Iranian Shahab-3s. These aren't poorly modified SS-1B SCUD (al-Hussein) missiles that Iraq had 20 years ago.

See? This is just more proof that we need to invade Iran NOW! Sure, we may all be comfortable over here in the states, but what are we going to do once the Iranians figure out how to use the path tool? Or, heaven help us, quick masks?

They probably use The Gimp.

This thread has potential.

OK which farker is helping Iran? Fess up now...

Personally I think even the missiles at the far left and far right are a duplicate of one another. I'm pretty sure about this because I've seen a lot of 'shops in my time.

Actually, this photo was used two years ago and has been reused. It's not clear if this was even meant to portray recent test launches, though it is brutally obvious that Iran's so called capabilities are nowhere near what they report. Their homemade ramjet missiles, the sunburns, for examples, almost certainly are not as advertised.

They are the bad guys, and we cannot permit them to nuke Israel for obvious reasons (if it's not obvious to you, go read some books), but they are largely weaker than the press is indicating.

An air campaign with no occupation that set them back a mere 5 years on nukes and missiles is a good idea if we can secure Hormuz (too bad we can't).

I'll bet the person who photoshoped has been "fired".

The best response to this (read: never happen) would be for the US to release a picture of the death star hovering over Iran done in MS Paint.

Very interesting. Had the Iranians truly meant to wipe Israel off the map, there would be no need to photoshop stuff that was meant strictly for testing.

But instead, they distribute doctored photos. What would the purpose of that be except to deter other nations from attacking them? If Iran had ever planned to wipe out the western hemisphere, why would they care what other people think?

How can the neo-cons and Likudniks persist in portraying Iran as the devil incarnate when its military assets don't function properly?


Actually, that's faulty logic.

Even the *BEST* weapons systems have less than a 100% success rate.

A historical example would be the US Mark XXIV FIDO. It was a WWII air-dropped homing torpedo for use against German U-boats. They only had about a 25% "Hit" rate (ie., the torpedo actually damaged or destroyed the target), and a "kill" rate of about 18%.

They were still devastatingly effective against their intended targets, and much more effective than air-dropped depth charges on a per-shot basis.

Likewise, if you have a missile that is only 75% effective, you just make enough to account for the expected failures.

The other problem is, of course, that this one picture isn't an adequate sample. It's like judging NASA's overall performance based on a five year span: If those 5 years happen to include the Challenger or Columbia disasters, you'll get a skewed result.

That, and if the accuracy of your delivery system isn't so hot, or if the target is large and spread out (rail exhange for example)

Yeah, the accuracy rating (called a CEP- Circular Error Probable) for most ICBM's was more than a half mile, and for hardened targets that meant you had a 50% chance of not killing it with just one warhead.

So you sent two. But wait!

Missiles also tended to have about a 50% failure rate, especially the older ones. So, to account for THAT, you'd need to send FOUR at each hardened target, to make sure that one of them would work and still reach the target and get close enough to kill it.

The Soviets tried to fix that problem by just making bigger and bigger missiles with more and more (and larger) warheads on them, and send LOTS of them at each target. The US went with more accurate (but smaller) weapons, so the accuracy radius got so small that one warhead/target was almost enough to insure a kill. They still would have sent more than one at each target too, though, just to be sure.

And get it covered in their television and print media? And get it posted on blogs that would get the Iranians who run them thrown in prison? I was obviously talking about the masses, not a person-to-person phone call with just one of their 80 million citizens.

sparticle:Feindevil:sparticle:flashfry:I really don't understand why such things cause laughter and somehow prove they are "less dangerous."

If anything, the incompetence and desperation convinces me even more that they are unstable and dangerous.

Well, yeah, there's that. I can totally see them destroying the Mall of America or taking Jon Bon Jovi hostage and believing they had all of us infidel dogs over a barrel.

I'm surprised they haven't been here, to my hometown. You know, Cleveland -- big wealthy American city and epicenter of commerce, industry and political power. Woo hoo, we be jammin' now, Achmed.

Or Erie. Erie would be about their speed.

You say that like taking Bon Jovi hostage would be a bad thing?

Did you ever hear the Denis Leary rant about that?

We live in a country, where John Lennon takes six bullets in the chest, Yoko Ono was standing right next to him and not one farking bullet! Explain that to me! Explain that to me, God! Explain it to me, God! I want it! God! Jesus! Now we've got twenty-five more years. Yeah, I'm real farking happy now, God. I'm wearing a huge happy hat, Jesus Christ! I mean Stevie Ray Vaughan is dead, and we can't get Jon Bon Jovi in a helicopter. Come on, folks. "Get on that helicopter John. Shut the fark up and get on that helicopter! There's a hairdresser in there. Yeah, go ahead in there, yeah yeah."

Last I heard there has been no confirmation that the "long range" missles that supposedly could reach Israel actually went anywhere near that far. For all we know these things are giant firecrackers and blew apart after going less than a mile.

The best response to this (read: never happen) would be for the US to release a picture of the death star hovering over Iran done in MS Paint.



pumpkin deathstar.. if attacked ~ it will explode ~ seeding the place with western influences ~ changing their world... forever...

shower_in_my_socks:It's pretty incredible how out-of-touch a theocratically-controlled government that cuts-off its people from the rest of the outside world can get, and how stupid they come to believe everyone outside of their culture must be.

I mean, it's like they didn't even try. You have four missiles and two of them are mirror images - it's not that $@%! difficult to spot the fake.

Of course, no one inside Iran's borders will ever hear about this.

You'd be surprised, the Iranians are pretty onto the regime's bullshiat. I was reading on Iranian's blog about the anti-U.S. protests conducted there. He or she pointed out, in a collection of different pictures from different protests against the US and UK, that the protesters are all the same people. Basically paid actors. I wouldn't have realized this if it weren't for somebody in Iran figuring it out and exposing it.

Plus they are VERY savvy in getting around the firewalls and filters there. The average Iranian knows more about proxies than does your average computer science student in the U.S.

So far there a four media released pictures.

2 from the Times article, 1 from Al Alam television and Iran's news agency six missiles.

"The country often blames the accidents on U.S. sanctions barring American companies from selling to Iran. Its airlines have tried to upgrade their fleet by buying European aircraft but have been turned down amid U.S. pressure on Europe not to sell.

However, it does not have similar difficulty buying parts for its Russian planes. Iranian airlines have bought Russian craft in recent years, but usually secondhand ones to save money."

It would be laughable if their civilians didn't die as a result of it. They claim indigenous capabilities in aviation and military equipment, but at best it's some poorly reverse-engineered outdated model, and at best it's some overpriced, outdated model they bought from a slimy country like Russia or China.

Over and over again the last 2 nights Ive seen 2 Peranians completly PWN the "I hate Iran's photoshopping skills" threads. I smile. Want some kebab baba? Sure, with dill rice and maust khiar as well.

The fact that only one screwed up is something to be MORE concerned about rather than the fact that they can't photoshop a dud out.

Not mine, but funny.


Hotlinked for your pleasure.

I have redone my little picture
