First they’d actually have to find its exact location and then make sure that weapon actually tracks all the way to the intended target.

It’s possible, but unlikely. Especially with a military like Irans that’s pretty diminished at this point

If these goat flickers strike a US base/ Vessel there will not be any member of,the current regime left alive. Just my guess. Also their homes and families will be targeted. That’s why Trump said,the remaining targets are easy.

No their basic ballistic missiles dont go “hypersonic briefly”.

They have air breathing scram jet hypersonics, and a few have already struck israel successfully.

If they strike our bases in Iraq the response probably won’t be as strong as if they launched missiles at Qatar or Bahrain or something like that

Well also the problem of a moving target and no real way to adjust a ballistic missiles target data.

I mean it isn't like it is an air to air missile with its own target track system.

Iranian bros really want the US to be humiliated because the Jews are controlling the World. They aren’t anti Israel though just ask them. It’s kind of like when someone prefaces a joke with “I’m not being racist but”

The don’t have true hypersonics. They still all follow ballistic trajectories. They can hardly hit stationary targets, much less moving ones they don’t know the position of.

There have been numerous successful strikes in Tel Aviv and Haifa from their Fattah-1 hypersonic ballistic missiles (including the hit on the Bursa).


I dont think these posters venture outside of Fox News very much.

Carriers are not a stationary target. Plus even a hit does not stop a carrier. Plus we have the capability of taking out ballistic hypersonics.

The ones that can change direction are the dangerous ones.

Once they launch their launch site is toast.

First they would have to find the battle group.

Certainly they are staying just out of range.

Didn't the USS Truman shite it's pants dodging Houthi bottle rockets and lose an f14 off the deck and then get the hell out of dodge?

Their Fattah-1 is maneuverable.

As far as I've seen, their Fattah-2 is not operational fortunately

Right, it would be like firing a bullet trying to hit another bullet while riding a horse….blindfolded..

If we lose a single ship over there and a thousand sailors, this big celebration turns to shite real quick.
