US Defence related thread

Any Iranian sailor heading out on a boat to deliver mines are on suicide missions. MQ-4s and P-8 sensor capabilities are highly advanced and see everything on that waterway. The Strait is owned by US air power.
I absolutely agree with this but one lucky hit by a done or mine near or on the strait and panic sets in and ships come to a halt until they feel safe.
 
That intensity lasted 43 days, I think. 🤔
Whilst Desert Storm lasted for six weeks, the current war has seen over 3000 strikes in a much shorter window indicating a higher intensity of munitions used. The current weapon systems being used include drones, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and precision guided strikes which differ greatly from the munitions used in 1991.

If you compare the size of Iraq and Iran, the intensity may be around the same. 🤔

I've read that the US conducted over 3,000 strikes and Zion conducted over 3,400 as of Saturday (or the first week). That's like around 900 strikes a day.

1,000 sorties per day
 
The US has total air superiority over the Strait and can pick off Iranian boats at will as seen in the above videos.
how do you plan to stop the drones that will target the ships , remember just few attacks and the markets panick

iranians are also using USVs
you took out the mine layers now they will just switch to assymetric tactics .

Looks like Iran is yet to face the most intense bombing raids on its territory.
