“No paper can hold the iron, it must come from men”


One of my favorite movie scenes. If all men thought that way about life the world would be a better place. And it’s not complicated. Keep your word, show mutual respect, mind your business

This is why US carriers backed off damn near to India soon after the war began, right? Because nothing can hurt them, so let's move out of their missile range?


Well that’s the smart move at the beginning when Iran had plenty of missiles they could overwhelm the defense systems by sheer numbers. They no longer have that ability

And you dont think this is by design. There is enough sat, airborne and land tech to find a fcking coacarocha on that stretch. Go ahead make our day.

The "tough" yemenis tried this with the red sea, and on a very small scale we had them begging for mercy.

No but a mission kill is definitely possible.

Our destroyers are likely very heavy on interceptors after resupplying for this reason. It's possible they may also be carrying CUAS munitions.

What I'm really interested to see is where our LCS squadron is with the MCM aboard.


I see your acronyms and I raise you my huckleberry.

Exactly. They are definitely a threat.

Serious question: what are they going to attack with?


The strait is so narrow it’s almost impossible to defend. It doesn’t take much to create damage with a single speed boat, mine or drone.

This is one of the reasons the strait is so hard to secure.

What I want to see is the navy use the DHY systems and the WERTYUIOPs.
