I mean your typical target is something like this:
Also people forget the strait is less than 25 miles across at certain points? A fishing vessel with binoculars can feed coordinates to someone on land to pass to targeting crews.
You don’t need radar to hit ships the size of skyscraper, just the coordinates and speed and the CM will lock on once it’s close enough.
This.
Many people get intimidated when the US claims to hit hundreds of targets over every few days. However, they need to realize that this is not a video game where whoever scores the most kills wins. It is a marathon! The entire terrain is incredibly vast, featuring numerous underground bases and bunkers used for storing the missiles and drones that are fired at ships in the region. All of you need to see the topography image again to understand how completely vast Iran is. It's mountains after mountains with no end in sight.
Iran is highly capable of leveraging its terrain to its advantage. In fact, short of using nuclear weapons, no amount of conventional weaponry can completely stop Iran from harassing ships in the Straits. I dare even say that even with nukes, it will only be temporarily and they will eventually resume it.
Furthermore, time is on Iran's side. They can easily hold out for years, drawing a close parallel to the Vietnam War. On the other hand, the Trump administration is on a tight clock. Trump only has until the midterm elections before soaring oil prices ultimately tie a noose around his political career.
The key for Iran now is not to panic. They have planned this for years now. They know their limitations and their strengths, and most importantly, how this war will eventually pan out. And similar to sports, just stick to the plan and play to their advantage.
