LONDON [MENL] -- Despite a decade of efforts, Iran's Shihab-3
intermediate-range ballistic missile remains unable to strike military
targets.
Leading Western analysts said Iran has failed to significantly enhance
the Shihab-3 missile. The analysts said the missile could not strike
military installations or critical facilities.
"It would obviously cause a certain amount of severe damage around the
point where the warhead lands," Doug Richardson, editor of Jane's Missiles
and Rockets magazine, said. "But the problem is that the accuracy is not
high."
