Forgive my ignorance, but why waste the time and resources to build a mock aircraft carrier just so you can blow it up?

I mean if you know how big the aircraft carriers are, you know how explosive your own missiles are...what exactly is to be gained through this experiment?

This right here. I don't think any attack they mounted against one of our aircraft carriers would even get within legitimate attack range before being blown to shite.

I saw the video yesterday, and it looked like they didn't even sink the "fake ship that looks like it was made with plywood."

And this is awesome:

previously called carriers easy targets and said Iran naturally wants to sink them.

By all means, please come sink them, sir. With idiots like this running other militaries, it's no wonder ours is #1.

I admire the effort but do they realize the carrier will not be close to Iran to launch an attack on Iran? Going to have to have some monster gas tanks on those boats to reach the carriers.

Thanks Iran for giving away your strategies in attacking a carrier. It's added to the briefs now.

Bless their little hearts, they're trying so hard to catch up with the greatest and most powerful military to ever exist in world history.

CIWS was one of the great GQ stations because the control room had A/C, forget being on a fire response team in a fire suit while crossing the Strait of Hormuz.

I don't get the point. Why not just bait us into a land invasion of their country. Then they could just hide out in caves and townships methodically accumulating American body bags, creating a shite storm of problems for US through the anti-war media mechanism, until we leave before finishing the job for fear of political retributions, and then they can just team up with their ISIS buddies to invade surrounding nations without any retribution from the west.
