Iran Threatens to Target US Warships With 'Secret Weapons'

hungered for spare parts that they are actually cannibalising some of their own jets to keep the rest of them functional

how many f-14 we should have to keep air superiority in iran-iraq war considering cannibalizing theory??

US air-force did not loose a single jet during the air to air engagement.

the coalition lost 58 planes during second persian gulf war.

The US will achieve air superiority in major parts of the Iranian air-space within the matter of hours after that it will be a turkey shoot of Iranian ground forces.

no they will not have a runway to fly. zero flights=zero air superiority.

As in secret weapon, I hope the Iranians mean jam and influence-proof anti-ship missiles.

Interesting... And re assuring that there won't b a war

They will try to stay out of range so 300 km range is probably not cut it... Any thing beyond that question of kill chain arises... How to locate CBG in first place....

Anti radiation ones are definitely very promising

well 300km range is the old one in 2018 Iran announced the range of Antiship Balistic missiles are increased to 700km.

https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/irans-navy-killer-missiles-now-have-double-range-33771
to be precise these missiles are Fateh Family missiles with specialized seeker to to be able to target moving ships , the limit in the range of the missile is the limit of the range of these family of quasi ballistic missiles and as we have increased the range of this family to 1000km , you must expect very soon there will be announcement on increasing the range of the Anti-ship missile to 1000km

if you know anything from Iran military than you would have know that Indian ocean is not safe at all against Iranian anti ships missiles and armed submarines and torpedos. and if they go back more than that, then there fighter jets will not reach Iran at all. and all of that being said with out reference to secret weapons that have not yet been unveiled as Iran military is not stupid to show to us every weapons that they build the next day.

Iranian anti-ship missiles does not posses the range to be able to target and threatened the US air-craft carrier fleet present within the Indian ocean, the swarm tactic can only become effective if the carrier fleet moves up to the strait of hormuz which they never will, where as Iran does posses sone diesel powered submarines but by comparison both in quality and quantity are out-matched to the nuclear powered US submarines which I'm sure are present in the Indian ocean in great numbers even as we speak.

the coalition lost 58 planes during second persian gulf war.

Let me repeat my-self again the US did not lose a single fighter jet in an air to air engagement against Iraq during the desert storm, the jets that they did lost were due to SAMs and other ground fire, they will receive less casualties against a sanctioned, militarily part deprived adversary.

I am being realistic here, patriotism aside, you have no chance.

we keep them 700km away ,then we severely limit the capabilities of all those F-18

yes they will stay out of the 300 km range without a doubt, but in the case of finding them if the location is finded by spy drones or satellite or the air force or by soldiers then a missile would be fired and when the missile reaches to a specific altitude it will search for a target for it self ( aka kill box ) and finding a aircraft carrier by the missile in sea if they are in its kill zone is easy and to target it would be as the same.


just like this. this is the view from missile radar it self,this is what the missile sees.

Even if you can mange to keep the carrier fleet 700km away, you are forgetting USAF jets does poses air to air refuelling capabilities.

1000 km is not a important range? how about 2000 km as our ballistic missile Sejile targeted a ship from 2000 km away.

Bavar's are limited in number and spread to thin only protecting some vital sites, where as the US bases surround the whole of Iran and unlike 1990's Iraq, present day Iran does not have an air force, they have vintage pre-revolution era jets which are so hungered for spare parts that they are actually cannibalising some of their own jets to keep the rest of them functional, their sortie rates and pilot training and experience is also extremely mediocre since they can not keep their vintage jets in the air for long periods of time.

The technological and military gap between present day US and Iran is in-fact greater in-favor of the US than at the time of desert storm between the US and Iraq, keep in mind some Iraqi pilots actually received pilot training from the PAF prior to desert storm and they had state of the art Russian jets of the time yet the US air-force did not loose a single jet during the air to air engagement.

The US will achieve air superiority in major parts of the Iranian air-space within the matter of hours after that it will be a turkey shoot of Iranian ground forces.

Dude you need to research a bit more before posting.

If you mean that 24 downgraded Mig-29s with no AWACs support is "state of the art" then there is a problem there. US and allies had 2000 4th gen jets in comparison.
One US F-18 was definitely confirmed downed by Iraqi Mig-29.
Best SAM that Iraq had in 1991 was the vintage early 70s SAM 8.Iran has 4 batteries of S-300PMU2 and 12 batteries of Bavar 373, in addition to many other SAM systems.

not practical , whe the enemy can target he airport those tanker is supposed to fly from

air to air refuelling, were? over Iranian skies? because Natanz military Nuclear Facilities are 2500 _ 3000 kilometers away from the Indian Ocean.

That dude has no clue.

ppl forget that USA was not alone at its wars it had coalition with it.

yes i know that were well but as i said Iran already targeted ships with Sejile ballistic missile so who says we can not do it again, missile is there accuracy is there Iran can do it again. as you can see here

Iran - Sejil Missile fired at Indian ocean 2011
