Jerusalem Post Fabricates Iranian Missile Story

[The Question]

Here's the story (in part) from the J-Post:

Iran successfully test-fired a missile that can avoid radar and hit several targets simultaneously using multiple warheads, the military said Friday.

The Fajr-3, which means "Victory" in Farsi, can reach Israel and US bases in the Middle East, state Iranian media indicated - causing alarm in the United States and Israel. The announcement also is likely to stoke regional tensions and feed suspicion about Tehran's military intentions and nuclear ambitions.

"I think it demonstrates that Iran has a very active and aggressive military program under way," State Department deputy spokesman Adam Ereli said in Washington. "I think Iran's military posture, military development effort, is of concern to the international community."

Israel said it too was alarmed by the missile report.

O RLY? This report CAME FROM ISRAEL!

"This news causes much concern," Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said.

Interesting that the news didn't cause 'much concern' back in 1990, which is when Iran developed the Fajr-3. Here's the specs on this weapon and a brief history from Answers.com:

Fajr-3 rocket
The Fajr-3 is a 5.2 meter long, solid-fuel rocket supplied by Iran to Hezbollah in Lebanon. The rocket has a diameter of .24 meters, a weight of 407 kilograms and carries a 45 kilogram warhead up to 43 kilometers. The Fajr-3 produced in Iran, starting in March 1990, is based upon a rocket exported to Iran by North Korea in the late 1980s.

North Korea, you say? But according to this article from the World Tribune, the Fajr-3 is based not on a Korean missile developed in the 1980s, but on the Soviet BM-8 and BM-13 "Katyusha" MLRS rockets developed in the 1930s (early versions were employed in the Russo-Japanese battles at Khalkhin Gol, with the "normalized" version of the BM-13 Katyusha on the Studebaker US6 platform coming into prominence in 1943.

So where are these "televised" Iranian tests and boasts regarding this "radar-avoiding" missile? And how does a missile avoid radar altogether? Even cutting-edge stealth aircraft can't avoid radar -- only dampen it. In order to avoid radar, an object would have to the radar signal before without being struck by it, which is impossible AFAIK. The only way to detect it is if it's bouncing off you, and if it's bouncing off you, you haven't avoided it.

Hmm.
