What's her position about heavily armed, well prepared and overmanned armies?
Oh, noone's ever heard of Fortune favoring them, sir.

Limpet mine; torpedo; someone moving around 'mysteriously' in fast boats before the scene 'taking off'?

Looks like Iran is keeping the West on its toes on a budget what with the fast boats and these

Re: Islamic Republic of Iran
These new fast boats and drones are the modern E boats and doddle bugs there not meant for toe to toe combat it is all about hit and run and striking undefended ships in the Gulf meaning the West need more kit to combat the threatlordroel wrote: ↑27 Dec 2021, 19:37Showing it off is one thing, using it in combat is a other thing.Tempest414 wrote: ↑27 Dec 2021, 11:00 Looks like Iran is keeping the West on its toes on a budget what with the fast boats and these

Re: Islamic Republic of Iran
For me Type 23 GP is looking under armed for this new threat in the Gulf yes it has 32 CAMM but the 30mm is starting to look out ranged plus no anti air maybe it is time to fit a Phalanx on the Gulf based T-23
Re: Islamic Republic of Iran
It must be either these or versions there of that they have been firing into iraq and saudi, and attacking shipping with so is that not combat.lordroel wrote: ↑27 Dec 2021, 19:37Showing it off is one thing, using it in combat is a other thing.Tempest414 wrote: ↑27 Dec 2021, 11:00 Looks like Iran is keeping the West on its toes on a budget what with the fast boats and these
Re: Islamic Republic of Iran
I have always wondered why when the Sea Wolf associated radars were removed from the T-23s, it wasn't decided to fit a single Phalanx on top of the hanger? Not a perfect solution but better than nothing.
