I totally agree. What you mentioned is definitely a factor. Training and safety culture cannot keep up with this pace of development.I blame all these unfortunate events on the fast pace of development and high tempo of operations in Iran..When a country such as Iran moves at this incredible speed toward full industrialization and dominance of middle east region and is doing that while swimming in an ocean of hostility it is not so unusual events. Just look at the speed by which this country is developing various weapon systems from scratch . Operational procedures, safety procedures and training are all elements that get pushed back when you are facing immanent threats such as Iran is... so yes that is the price a country has to pay to get up there with the giants...
is it possible that the missile was "fed" with false informations/coordinates (electronic warfare) and thats why the the corvette was hit?
I mean, iranian anti ship missiles have a CEP of <5 meter, and we should believe that it mistakenly hit a corvette which was hundred meters away of the target?
Is it possible that this incident was an revenge for the allegedly attack on israels water infrastructure by iran?
just thinking of possibilities/theories..
What attack? Iran never attacked Israeli forces, just the opposite.Is it possible that this incident was an revenge for the allegedly attack on israels water infrastructure by iran?
He probably means a cyber attack on Israeli water infrastructures that circulated on the internet few days ago.What attack? Iran never attacked Israeli forces, just the opposite.
imagine what a complex naval war between iran and NATO will look like
The notion of simplest explanation automatically being the correct one is flawed when the hypothesis is that the incidents are designed to look like human-error "accidents".
All I am saying is that if I was in charge to topple IRI. This is exactly what I would do:
Again, I am not calling the incident to be a plot simply because they are highly beneficiary for Irans adversaries. However, I am saying that it is definitely a possibility simply because they have most to gain and initiating such acts would be much cheaper that direct conflict with Iran.

really bad friendly fire incident. no other way to sugar coat it. it doesn't get any worse then shooting missiles and sinking your own ship..... inexcusable incompetence by Iran's navy.
add this to the Damavand incident and its easy to see Irans navy has some training issues.
I don't see though why people are bringing the shootdown incident into this.. completely unrelated and really not the military's fault there. It was the governments fault for not closing down the airspace.
the airdefence forces were on a war footing, and saw a potential hostile aircraft coming at them. and they did what they were trained to do. put any air defense force on a war footing,give them a green light to shoot and tell them to expect imminent aerial attacks, keep your air space open to civilian flights.. and see what happens....
the only consolation though it seems the navy's problems are related more to the conventional navy and not the irgc navy.. Irans conventional navy really doesn't serve much purpose besides national prestige, and anti-pirate duty in my opinion. if it was the IRGC navy making these mistakes then there would be cause for concern.
