Isn’t the route they are using in the Strait well beyond the horizon line?

I don’t think it’s rocks and bullets.



As already stated, and I created a thread on this the other day, Basij volunteers are patrolling the strait in fishing boats. Yes, they are being hit with bullets. And potentially RPGs by the sound of it.

It's why the vast majority of ships hit have been using transponders, it tells you where everyone is located. Same as aircrafty squawking.

The camel jockeys appear to be dragging this out. Probably looking to influence our elections

Maybe our worthless, lazy allies should get involved since they are being attacked.

Fortunately, we have decimated Iran’s Military — Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their Anti-Aircraft and Radar is gone and perhaps, most importantly, their Leaders, at virtually every level, are gone, never to threaten us, our Middle Eastern Allies, or the World, again! Because of the fact that we have had such Military Success, we no longer “need,” or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance — WE NEVER DID! Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea. In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere in the World, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

No. They’re spotting for the missile batteries on shore

Yes. Then the missiles fire in the general direction. Terminal guidance is autonomous from the missile.

No, like ship to shore missiles. These have been able to reach over the horizon for decades now. How do you think those missiles have always conducted terminal guidance?
