Iran to build aircraft carrier!

[danny60]

In true iranian style, the new carrier will have only one working shaft, be built using 16th century tech and will probobly last around 2 days, then someone will start smoking in the fuel bunker...

Where do you think these countries get the money to buy these toys? "We" [Western Civilization] are buying them for them, every time we buy cheap crap at Walmart and put gas in our pickups and SUV's.

We put money and weapons in our enemies hands, then try to stay a step ahead of them, the end result is 14 trillion dollars of debt. We've had our own foot in the cross-hairs every since the 70's.

Just saying we keep putting money into the hands of potential enemies.

You think China's carrier won't be parked off of the coast of Taiwan any time in the near future?

I wonder if Iran could build a Carrie, if they put their mind into it.

I Don't know if they have the knowledge to do so.

I think it's about time we start telling the Iranians "That's a nice crucial gasoline refinery you have there, it'd be a shame if something were to happen to it."

No, I'm saying it's about time we stop playing softball with a brutal regime that has promised a second holocaust and is obviously going for nuclear weapons with a crackpot in charge whose stated goal has been to bring about the apocalypse.

Here-Here!
Personally, I think that iran Could build a carrier, however, I highly doubt their navy is capable of A. deploying it effectively and B. maintaining it, after all, Carriers are very fragile bits of kit, which require dry-docking, and general TLC. And if the state of the current iranian fleet is anything to go by, thats not gona happen.
Were also forgetting that mister crack-pot also has to buy planes for the damn thing, otherwise its one great big moving target.

It's going to be a giant moving target *anyway.* The Iranians' ASW capability is more or less nonexistent. Judging by the last time they started something with the US Navy, their air defense capabilities are nonexistent, and they don't have enough surface combatants to even put together a viable CVBG.
