Another step in the right direction



How amazing would it be to train for years to do something that hasn't been done by the Navy since 1945 then actually get the opportunity to use those skills? How many thousand of naval aviators are there that never got the chance?

We've sunk stuff more recently than that. That "carrier" is a cargo ship with a ramp on it. Or it was.

Latest update from Trump this morning. Reiterating the scope and saying it will last 4-5 weeks but longer if necessary. This is our "last best chance".

Quote:
Trump outlined four main objectives: destroying Iran's missile capabilities; annihilating its Navy; preventing the country from obtaining a nuclear weapon; and stopping Iran from arming, funding and directing terrorist groups outside its borders.


Chairman of JCOS saying we are adding more forces and Iran is saying they will not negotiate with us.

Nor will we negotiate with terrorists... when this campaign is done, I believe that they will do what they are told.

" Chairman of JCOS saying we are adding more forces and Iran is saying they will not negotiate with us."

Then I guess we will negotiate with the new leadership in Iran.

It's just JCS, or CJCS, and I'm not throwing shade, just letting you know.

Is it just me, or is it crazy that the pilot didn't have his sidearm at the ready?

I guess he is not expecting the enemy to roll up?

Sounded and looked like a female to me. I'm assuming since they were shot down by friendly fire, they weren't in as dangerous of territory. But she definitely seemed like she had very little concern overall.

Operation Preying Mantis, April 1988. Iran mined the Persian Gulf and badly damaged an America naval vessel. Reagan ordered a "proportional" response but the Iranians kept firing at our assets, so we fired back and "broke" more things than originally intended.

The shoot down of our 3 F15s was clearly a bone headed move. Thankfully no one was hurt. But ... someone still gets an A+ for marksmanship and system effectiveness.
I feel so much better since about 11 a.m. CT on 20 Jan. 2025

Wow super skills by pakastani security forces trying to help protect US Embassy, I have to assume our Marines don't really rely on them.



I worked with a bunch of Pakistanis in the oil field. That was about how I expected their security forces to look.

I believe Kuwait has shot down more allied planes than Iran.

I know the Gulf is a very busy place with a high chance for identity issues but I'm still slightly surprised their Navy has any corvettes or firgates still afloat.

I don't think much was even sailing. I get the impression we've targeted the ones out of port or ready to sail and will get the rest later

Big for peace and stability in the region. It seems that once the IRGC is taken out the ME wants everyone to play nice

I wonder if they are going to push in some destroyers to provide coverage? Maybe that was the drive behind destroying the Iranian fleet.

Those geniuses really planned well for war, didn't they?

We've been building an armada on their back door step for the last 3 weeks and half of their Navy is still in port.

What a bunch of mouth breathers.

We should've done this 47 years ago when they took American hostages

It is telling that the only air defense system able to shoot down American aircraft is American. The stuff Khamenei and Maduro bought from the Russians and Chinese was crap.

The patriot system is very very good at shooting down jets. Idk if anyone remembers the F15E that got shot down in Iraq in 03. I believe the pilots were rescued amongst the jessica lynch group. Anyways, they were shot down by a patriot system too.
