That reminds me, I forgot to mention I heard that the majority of their weapons aresenal is or was created by the russians. Also, the sub has to be surfaced to fire this missile.

Alot of what the Iranians have are made by/designed by/designed with Russia or China.

The Iranian missile that hit the two ships off the Lebanese coast is a Chinese design that has been reverse-engineered from a Russian weapon and improved.

Yes, very fake. It looks like it was a rockets and someone just put a f-16 over it.

I wonder how useful a sub would be in the Persian gulf, fairly shallow
water for submarine operations.

Nope. It was an Iranian made copy of a Chinese development of a reverse-enginered French MM.38 Exocet. :)

Wiki: Persian Gulf

The waters are overall very shallow and have a maximum depth of 90 metres and an average depth of 50 metres.

USN calls a iranian sub in the Persian gulf a "target".

Hi Viking.. I got my missiles mixed up and you are correct. Exocet was the original that was reverse-engineered.

(Off topic really quickly) After clicking that link I found another video that I thought would be fun to watch. After watching it 3 times, I noticed one of the bombs being dropped from this A-10 never detonated on impact!

Watch the bomb on the far right.

In regards to sub-to-air missiles, it's worth nothing that the US submarine fleet has a handful of Stinger launchers on each ship, if I understand correctly.  Not exactly what the subject is about (if by "not exactly" I mean "not at all"), but it's technically, in this context, a sub to air missile.  :D

I don't imagine that a Polaris configured to airburst 30 seconds after launch to knock out local aircraft would count either, for that matter....

True, it's nothing big that we can't handle. But once again, it just shows proof that Iran is not planning on ceising all work on its nuclear program. Especially since their coming out with tests for all this technology they are making / receiving. The U.N. (Although their a bunch of asses) should take note of this and decide that isolationism is the only method, if not a full-scale attack with bunker-busters on their nuclear sites.
