You make a strong point for the nuke option.

lol love that !

I’m not sure either, but it seems almost purpose built for that role.

You have written about what techno thriller writers have been delivering fiction about for decades concerning attack’s on Carriers (floating a silent diesel sub, right into the middle of a carrier attack group etc) and closing the straight of hormuz. In my mind it is just that... “fiction” Iran does like being a…

Cobra, AC-130, in a pinch, low yield tac nuke. :P

A weapon unused is a useless weapon :) Actually though we have enough conventional munitions to make Iran the new hot spot for metal detecting hobbyists world wide !

I’m highly skeptical of Iran’s ability to perform that kind of coordinated OP. And, to think our strategists and commanders in that arena have not already thought of this and planned out how to annihilate any such attack is farsighted at best.

Did anyone else fast forward to the "crash compilation" without watching the beginning :) lol

Brilliant !

Techno thriller authors have been writing about this scenario with the Straight of Hormuz for years now. Wonder if we will finally see it come to fruition. This scenario is why the US keeps a Carrier task force in the area at all times, with purpose built mine sweepers close at hand as well.

lol at that. One vehicle... One :)

Ya I forgot how reliable Lada's were..

"However, certain things don't have to see combat to prove that they will work"

1999 VW Jettta with the vr6.

Have they seen actual sustained combat though.. not criticizing just wondering. Compared to their Western counterparts it cant even be close.. I mean we have been putting our shit to use in the Middle East constantly for a while now. Tested and proven weapons systems in long term sustained theaters of operation. Can…

Ya his excuse was pretty fricken lame huh... Personally I thought I noticed he had overfilled his blinker fluid...
