Iran at it again!!

They just held a military exercise which had to do with attacking one of our carriers. They used their paper cutout version of a carrier and scored many hits on it, but I wouldn't brag about that considering it was a defenseless floating piece of card board,lol They claim they can sink an American warship in 50 seconds now, would have to be one lucky hit to do that I would think. If you watch the video of this attack, pay attention to the one missile they shoot at it, it is so slow! Funny stuff to watch,a great comedy!

Must be that same ship that the North Koreans claimed to have sunk, even though at the time it was sitting in dock on the US west coast.

Betonov · 02-25-15, 03:47 PM

They really took their time making a mock-up.
I should really send a job aplication to Teheran to build decoys for them to bomb

Everybody hates aircraft carriers! Even China painted the outline of a carrier in a desert and shot at it.

Thankfully I'm not American or I would be totally scared out of my mind now.

...not.

Agree this propaganda is funny-However this propaganda video is not for us in the west-its for the people living in Iran

Oh you already know that..OK sorry I mention it

While the likelyhood of a successful Iranian attack on a US carrier group is very unlikely it is very feasible for Iran to very seriously disrupt merchant shipping in the region.

Not to sound like a naggy nanny but it is unwise to ever underestimate an enemy or potential enemy. Though Iran would never win an open conflict against the West they could very very easily cause very serious economic harm to much of the world if they did seriously try anything. Any threat should be taken seriously and is by the US Navy. Not to mention the effect such a conflict could have regional and even world stability.

I guess I have the Jack Ryan approach.

Did you notice the couple of shots from one of the boats that hit the water just in front of them after they fired ? makes me wonder how many own goals they got in the exercise

You are right Markus, its for the Iranian people. But it makes me wonder just how dumb do the Iranian Generals and Admirals think the Iranian people are?

That's a god question and from those Iranian I know living in Denmark and Sweden-they are not dumb.

I'm convinced that the ordinary Iranian know that this video is nothing more than -propaganda-rubbish-they can't say it openly.

Then there are of course those who get a kick of "We the Iranian are the strongest"

Well they do this to those who disagree http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death...da_Agha-Soltan.... who can say how many believe it probably about the same ratio as anywhere else.

@Marcus your last line seems those types are everywhere. In the US you'll see some my favorite of their sologans is "these colors don't run" I feel like handing them a history book. You know the blind followers which by at least my view of what American citizenship the first duty is to question anything the government dose or says. I'd say that is the duty of any citizen of any nation. In the US the oath of enlistment as well as for officers is to defend the constitution and the people not a certain leader. We kneel to no kings.

Platapus · 02-25-15, 07:58 PM

I am shocked. Shocked, I say to learn the Iran is practicing war maneuvers. It is a damn good thing that an upstanding peace loving country like the good ole USA would never ever do such a thing.

Torplexed · 02-25-15, 08:40 PM

If the Iranians had really wanted to sink a US carrier, they should have made a pact with either the ancient Mayans, or Roland Emmerich.

Jimbuna · 02-26-15, 06:00 AM

Just pure luck they chose a time when the radar and ecm systems were turned off for maintenance and the CIWS systems were being overhauled, alongside the fact all the pilots were having a day off....pure luck is all it was.

It was a million-to-one chance I tells ya! With luck like that, they should play the lottery.
