the only problem is you can't really steer


The problem lies in the fact that when you use bubbles to reduce drag you loose "grip" in the water for steering with conventional rudders. These torpedoes use retractable fins that deploy during turning and retract when the torpedo is on the correct course. Properly deployed they could be deadly. The question is how much of Iran's declarations are bluster and how much is real.

I mean, it's all bluster, with regards to its naval capabilities. The Iranians are good some things, but mainly it is using proxies to do its fighting for them.

Iran also claims to have a fully functional Supercavitation torpedo capable of speeds in excess of 220mph




That looks to be almost as long as their submarine. Do they just bungee strap it to the hull?

They don't have nuclear powered subs or nuclear powered frigates/destroyers(the US does not anymore, either).

Just because Trump called them fake news doesn't mean they are.


No it doesn't, it has to do with all the propaganda that Blitzer, Lemon, Cooper and company throw out is criminal.

Bro, Fox News does the same damn thing.

I've stopped watching news altogether because I can't stand the slant either side portrays.

All of the articles on the news now seem meant to infuriate rather than inform

The one thing IKE did that fricked us for decades was allowing the CIA to take out the leader of IRAN.

Other than that a great president.

If the USN doesn’t hit em with our thousands-of-dollars rockets and missiles, they definitely won’t miss ramming into them. They have a knack for that maneuver.

I wonder how you guys blatantly post incorrect titles from bullshite news sources and then sit here and call all of the other news sources “fake news”.

The idiots have inherited the internet.

You might be surprised. Spend a little time online and you'll see they have the ships and equipment to do it.

That said, nobody believes it could be a real threat. It's one thing to be able to sail anywhere you want, it's quite another to project power.
