If this is confirmed the conversation with Iran should involve a countdown and an explanation of the sized targets we will hit.

If Iran has a ship off our coast and has used it to fly drones over our airspace that would be a great excuse to use a surface to ship missle or two for real life testing. Then we need to blow up an oil refinery or two in Iran just to prove a point.

Need to send Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum to take care of this.

I'd bet he's full of shite about it truly being Iran. Seems like there's no way the military complex would allow that to happen.

Man, that host sure was focused on what fuels the drones and the explosions that could happen from that.

Surely our Navy must have submarine in the area with a captain just itching to let 2 or 3 torpedoes loose into that Iranian ship.

And yet that isn't even in the same league as what is being postulated by that congressman.

This is a congressman that was a life long democrat and switched to republican a couple years ago to better his chance of getting elected. He is probably full of shite like most of them.

I am talking bang for the buck.

Drone warfare is pretty new and does not require deep pockets to obtain.

Turkey may be one of the leaders in this development and you can be sure Iran is acquiring those drones from them.

If a country or even individual groups wanted I would bet they could strike many coastal areas of the USA with a pretty sizable drone attack.

Of course the Us could respond in force but just like 9-11 the damage would be done.

The "mothership" could be an actual surface ship, no?

Wouldn't even need to be that big to house a dozen long distance drones and the ability to recharge them.

It's probably been asked but If this is true why doesn't the military have something flying near by monitoring it 24/7 and also flying with it to see where it's landing for fuel? Much less blowing the shite up once over the ocean.

It seems like that would have been an obvious question to ask him.


Why did we allow multiple Chinese spy balloons to traverse the country? We have weak leadership more concerned with DEI than force readiness.

Did the network do anything besides allow an elected congressman to speak on the subject?

READ THIS...We know exactly what it is.... Satellite images show Iran's new drone carrier has set sail

quote:

A container ship that Iran has spent the past few years turning into a militarized drone carrier has left its home port for the first time, recent satellite imagery obtained by Business Insider shows.

In an image captured on November 12 by BlackSky, which provides space-based real-time intelligence, the new Shahid Bagheri can be seen at an Iranian shipyard along the Persian Gulf.

But an image captured a little more than two weeks later, on November 28, shows the Bagheri missing from its berth at the Iran Shipbuilding & Offshore Industries Complex, just west of the southern port city of Bandar Abbas.
