Iran Says High-Speed Underwater Missile Successful in Tests
(AP/Houston Chronicle) Iran said Sunday it has successfully test-fired a high-speed underwater missile capable of destroying warships and submarines. The Iranian-made missile has a speed of about four miles per minute under water, said Gen. Ali Fadavi, deputy head of the Navy of the elite Revolutionary Guards. He called it the fastest underwater missile in the world - but it has the same speed as the Russian-made VA-111 Shkval, developed in 1995 and believed to be the world's fastest.
