July 11, 2013 - 14:51 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Saudi Arabia may be targeting Israel and Iran
with lorry launched missiles from a base 125 miles south-west of
Riyadh, the IHS Jane's Intelligence Review revealed, according to
The Jerusalem Post.
The Jane's analysts examined a satellite image of the base, near the
town of Al-Watah, built within the last five years.
Analysts found that one of the launch pads "appears to be aligned
on a bearing of approximately 301 degrees and suggesting a potential
Israeli target, and the other is oriented along an azimuth (bearing)
of approximately 10 degrees, ostensibly situated to target Iranian
locations."
According to the report the launch pads, were designed for Saudi
Arabia's arsenal of lorry launched DF 3 missiles, which have a range
of 1500-2500 miles and can carry a two ton payload.
Saudi Arabia reportedly acquired missiles from China in the 1980s.
