Israel and Iran Beef Up Their Arsenals

From the Media Line:

Israel and Iran are rolling out the new toys.

Iran's first domestically built guided-missile destroyer was firing against imaginary air and land targets on Sunday while on a virgin patrol mission of the Gulf as over 1000 miles to the East Israel was formally unveiling a new fleet of some of the world's largest and most advanced drones, capable of remaining airborne for more than 24 hours and flying from Israel to Iran.

The winter beef up of the two arch-enemies' armies began on Friday as Iran's 1,420 ton homemade Jamaran destroyer was launched by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei at an undisclosed coastal location, most likely Bandar-Abbas, a port city and capital of Hormozgan Province on the southern coast of Iran.

Last year Iran sent six warships into international waters on Khamenei's orders, marking the first time in modern history that the Islamic republic has projected its military might beyond its regional sphere of interest.
