Wait until they see delayed drone dispersal tactics.

This is why I can’t understand why we could not secure the Strait of Hormuz. With this tech, equipped with cameras and explosives, how were we not able to find and kill all of the drone operators and boat operators?

I’m deeply suspicious. Or is our government and military so incompetent that they just didn’t think to deploy this?

It's not easy to intercept missiles and drones heading for a commercial tanker

If they fire on a naval vessel that vessel is equipped with weaponry that can intercept attacks. Then there is the speed boats.

And you have to remember, it's the threat alone that closes the strait. Maritime insurance comes into play here. No one is going to insure someone trying to traverse the strait when the Iranians are threatening the vessels.

3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.

You don’t need to. Just kill the people doing it.

The threat that Iran posed would not be effective for long if it wasn’t real. Eventually, someone will run through, then more, then everyone.

“ This is why I can’t understand why we could not secure the Strait of Hormuz”
———————————————————-

Iran has good drone missiles, If they were to attack a merchant ship it won’t be with a ship or plane it will be with a dozen small drones. They just have to get one through our defense once and we would have to hit every drone they fired, 100% of the time.

No. And “single few points” is an oxymoron.

You have established yourself as an ordinary moron.

Rather than linking my antepenultimate post, I’ll just restate it here.

I wrote that I was surprised they could not secure the Strait by deploying the small drones highlighted in the OP, with cameras and explosives, against those operating and launching the drones that were harassing the shipping.

Again how many miles of coverage and assets would that take?

I simply asked for tactics

Got a snarky bullshite answer.

How about some assets you would deploy and where you would deploy them.

Again defensive technology is waayyy behind offensive technology.

Additionally it's nearly a point defensive capability.

In 2016 we/they had the ability to control battalion sized forces of 4 wheeled/tracked bots with heavy fire support through 1 commander.
