re: Pigs fly? CNN "No Iran is not winning".... lol.

So you ever wonder how effective A-10s etc were on Scud hunts?

So now I am chasing a Toyota with a mudchen.

Saying what?

Your plan is ineffective and exposes too many assets for little to no return.

I need to deploy thousands of troops more Naval assets and more Air Force assets to include tankers just to loiter and expose people to hold islands that really aren't worth the effort.

I need to mose point defense assets away from air bases etc and drop them into some islands

Additionally I need to have at least 20-40 tankers used in a 24 hour cycle everyday

Then probably 80-120 fighter/bombers sorties to possibly taking out a Toyota.

1) Those assets exist for the sole purpose of fighting wars. We’re in a war with Iran.

2)Why do you keep saying “I” are you still in? Are you a General? Why won’t you answer what type of plane you flew for the Air Force

3)I don’t really give a shite how many Hiluxes “you” kill. The whole point is to protect the strait. Right now we’re not doing it. The oil isn’t flowing and the ME allies are going to get fed up and make their own deal with Iran sooner or later. Their entire relationship with us has always depended on us keeping the oil flowing. Right now we’re not doing that.

I flew multiple aircraft and my name is my call sign.

Why does what airframe matter?

Again ineffective use of forces is ineffective regardless of the comment that's what they are for.

Absolute waste of assets and manpower.

I need to look I think you were the carpet bomb every village guy

I like airplanes. I’m curious.

I wholeheartedly disagree.

I guarantee you I’m not that guy. In fact, I would’ve called such a comment stupid.

Again, there is no need. They have and are sending ships through as we speak.

---

They are sending small shuttles to carry oil to the tankers out in the Arabian Sea. No tankers are actually passing through. If we controlled the strait then it would be business as usual. But we don’t, so it’s not.

Have you ever served in a forward position son? If not I suggest you stand post and defend something. Either way, I do not give a damn what YOU think should be done. Apparently our military agrees with me.

It’s such a bitch as response when people say this shite. But since everyone here fricking asks whenever someone has an opinion on the war, yes, I have in fact.

The bitch response I believe was humor.

Google how are the gulf states moving oil out of the Persian Gulf

I asked Grok

Prompt: Are tankers transiting the strait of Hormuz

Yes — some oil tankers are still going through, but volume is a small fraction of normal. As of Aug 30–31, 2026 (about day 183 of the disruption that began late February), the strait is not physically closed. Ships can and do transit. Visible AIS traffic, however, is typically about 5 vessels a day over the latest weekend and has been running in the single digits to low teens most days, versus a pre-crisis baseline of roughly 70–130 commercial ships per day. ? Oil tankers specifically • AIS-visible crude and product tankers are sparse: a handful per day at most, often Iranian-flagged, shadow-fleet, or small/medium rather than a steady stream of laden VLCCs. • Recent named examples in the last day or so include the VLCC Kiku (outbound), VLCC Myanmar Prosperity (inbound), Miraan, Savona, and Elmo, plus several Iranian tankers in the zone that are slow or stopped (Hasna, Romina, Joinville 1, etc.). ? • TankerMap’s latest complete day showed one tanker transit, with about 13 tankers currently in the broader zone. ? What the numbers miss A large share of remaining oil movement is AIS-off. Trackers and news reports note many crude-laden ships going dark, using the southern (Omani) corridor, or doing ship-to-ship transfers in the Gulf of Oman. Mainstream estimates of barrels actually moving are higher than raw AIS counts, but still far below the old ~20 million bpd through Hormuz. Saudi and UAE pipeline bypasses (East-West, ADCOP) are carrying part of the load. ? Iranian crude U.S. and commercial tracking sources say the reimposed blockade has kept Iranian crude tankers from breaking out in recent weeks; some LPG/product ships with dark-activity histories have still left. ? Risk War-risk insurance is extremely expensive, many major liner companies have stopped using the strait, and there was a U.S. strike on Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island as of Aug 30. Traffic is selective, high-risk, and dominated by ships willing to run dark or under Iranian routing rules. Short version: tankers are passing, but it is a trickle, not the old highway.
