[🇾🇪] Houthis and US launch new attacks amid Red Sea shipping threat

[Sharma Ji]

I agree, Doc. These harkats by Houthis are not helping the Iranian cause in any way.

USS Truman wala alag tha, one, that they are a legit target, and 2, great success.. because a super-hornet fell off the deck during evasive maneuvers. What an unbelievable underdog victory over the mightiest NAVY ka mightiest jahaj !

Kya milega inko attacking ships crewed mostly by Pinoys, Malays, and Desis ?

They have scuds for ballistic missiles and a number of soviet era sams for offense and defense, they are repurposing old R series Russian air to air missiles in an air to ground role (likely with Iranian tech help), they are super well entrenched in their mountain caves, they've allegedly shot down or at least damaged an Al Sawdia F-15, and a USAF MQ9 Reaper or global hawk (one of those)

but civvie commercial ships ko gira ke kya mil raha hai apart from the scorn of the rest of the world ? Iran need to rein them in, these mad dogs.

I never said Hoosi tactics are not helping Iran.

I am responding to @Lulldapull 's contention that Iran would have been better served by claiming the ships as spoils of war.

You either do not read properly or you read into a post what you want to read.

Control over a choke point on commercial shipping is a huge bargaining chip @Sharma Ji

Do not pretend to recognize it in Malacca because it serves our Indian interests but get all ethical here because it serves Iran's.

Bhai 3 super hornets were lost overall no? One fell off during hard turn. Second snapped the arrestor cable and plunged into paani right off the deck and the third was shot down by own defenses a few months prior whilst the Truman was bracketed by hoosi drones and missiles no…..

Truman also lost an E-2 Hawkeye to an errant hoosi manpad and more than likely took a few drone hits which slipped past the defense screen.

It’s been in the dock a few times now for repairs.

The more poignant thing is that Iran hasn’t targeted it yet……it’s only allowed the hoosi to do it with downgraded Iranian weaponry.

If Iran goes after it, the Truman ain’t goin be floating bhai.

Malacca is a potential choke point in case war with China breaks out, expect the USN to do the heavy lifting there if it ever comes to that, with IN doing logistics wala chaprasi kaam and keeping the effort going from the Andamans.

They've shown a lot of interest in there, refueling stop karte hain udhar unke aircraft, also done some joint exercises in the region.

We don't have rogue militias just lobbing drones and missiles at random cargo vessels lol

big difference.

We want to use that choke point on China in a war.

And we will.

Iran is doing the same. And Iran is already at war with Israel.

You have been told repeatedly nothing about these attacks was random. Yet you continue your juvenile rr.

Where is the difference ?

I haven't followed up on the story, but major lapses, breach of protocols wala kuch hua hoga. ACs don't travel solo, they barely have any defenses of its own apart from some CIWS. The rest of the destroyers etc around it are armed to the teeth, and the subs lurking below the carrier group.

Iran couldn't stop any of the missiles launched from the sea and under the sea in the recent attack, B2 and F35s also did their business uncontested in Iranian airspace.

Random or planned down to a T means little when its civilians and merchant vessels being targeted.

But could the US Navy?

Stop attacks?

So India does not plan to choke China oil?

Grow up.

Fast.

 

[Sharma Ji]

Stop attacks?

Old news at this stage, pretty sure they would have made the necessary changes by now.

It may be my personal opinion, but Iran is a big boy.

Care to answer my question. Iranians are intelligent and great people. Clearly the standards of average Iranians and average Iranian universities are much higher than that of average Indians and average Indian universities respectively.

Why then many Iranian students come to India for higher education?

what makes you say that ?

@Sharma Ji @Vsdoc @Paitoo @Guru Dutt @Krishna with Flute @Dogun18 @Mrloveday @Cryptonian @Mainerik @Bilal9 @Lulldapull

Affordable and good education here in a friendly country. A lot of Europeans and even some Amriki goras etc come here to the IITs and some others.

Higher education in the west's most premium universities is beyond reach of many, bhot mehenga hai udhar.

 

[Lulldapull]

Random? Then why hoosi dont attack punjabi ship with bhanggrra party enjoying guddhay key biryani on the deck?

Same reason why US students go study at university of Moscow or Beijing institute of technology no?
