Iran plans to build aircraft carrier, boost naval warfare capabilities

It is actually easier to build a nuclear bomb than it is to build an aircraft carrier.

Both are difficult endeavors, to be certain about that. But what make an aircraft carrier more difficult is the scale of the technical issues involved, then factor in the logistics in terms of materials and manpower needed just to build, not yet to man.

The comparison was to highlight peoples attitude not the scale of the difficulty involved

Unfortunately, an aircraft carrier can move faster than a duck.

Please do not talk as if you have extensive personal experience in naval aviation.

Ok Mr know it all

Is an AC faster than an Anti-AC missiles? If you can't reply with logic then please don't quote me with arrogance.

You talk as if the fleet have no defense. Not only that, do you have ANY idea on how difficult it is to find the carrier itself ? And no, we are not going to make it easy for Iran by getting into the Persian Gulf. As for me talking, I am a USAF veteran on two different aircrafts, F-111 (Cold War) and F-16 (Desert Storm). I think I can speak for the US Navy with a little bit more authority than you can.

Hit the nail right on the head.

People around Iran just hate you guys with a passion like no other. It's rather astounding, kind of sound familiar? Lol (shekelstein nation says hi).

IMF was shut down and Iranians and other who are genuinely interested in Iranian defense developments have been thrown to the wolves. One days it's Turks, another the Arabs, recently the Pakistani's (not all of them), Israeli will always have the hate ( not all of them aparantly), my fellow Americans vary (Oldman and gambit aren't all that bad, but Wordzmatter is a shitter), India usually seems to be supportive which makes Pakistani's furious.

Dude, don't even get me started on the Arabs man, just... ugh. They can't fight and all they have is a second tier American air force. That's it, every thing else just sucks. The only Arab nation that can fight is Egypt but they've been rendered a quasi surrogate state that doesn't even stand up for anything anymore. Saudi Arabia is a human violations hell hole that just can't fight for jack (and they know it, thats why they bring so many foreign generals and troops to do the work the lazy Sauooodi can't do themselves, not to mention my gov giving them weapons that they know the Saudus don't know how to use, and to Saudis here you can shove it, you're not my ally) list goes on and on. I'm tired of it lol.

I mean let's be honest here. Iran follows a different military doctrine compared to all of its neighbors. Iran focus on non-symmetrical warfare. This air craft carrier could be a helicopter carrier for all we know. Or maybe even a drone carrier, Iran has a sizable fleet of drones that could benefit from a floating platform that, let's say floats off of the Syrian coast and conducts missions against terrorists.

Amir, I'm about to get a lot of hate for this post but I just wanted to get some stuff off my chest. Iranian military forum was a much better place but this site has its good parts as well.

There are other sites Iranian sites I could visit, like military.ir... but while I can read Farsi, I'm quite slow at it.

Iran needs to get the Yakhont anti-ship missiles. That will boost their asymmetrical capabilities. It will turn the Persian gulf into a killing field for the Fith Fleet. Also getting the Su-30 along would help. They already got the S-300 plus the Bavar 373 which will make any air war with Iran difficult. Getting the Su-30 will make an air war with Iran impossible.

Maybe the retirement has got to your head. We are not talking about US Navy, we are talking about Iranian Navy, do you think if Iran makes an AC it will have the same strength as the Carrier Group that the US has? or do you think it will have the same amount of defence? or will have the same technology as the US carriers?

Now your sentence " we are not going to make it easy for Iran by getting into the Persian Gulf ". WTF are you on about?

I think Iran is already working on Qahar 313. which is under evaluation.but carrier is one hell of a plan worth billions of $$$ alot of time and tech.

Iran building a aircraft carrier in few years time is as good as believing the earth is cube.

I had a high school teacher in Canada tell me the earth was a cube but over time it eroded into a sphere because of spinning.

Yeah...More time to THINK. You should try that sometime.

If Iran cannot, then it is pointless to build an aircraft carrier. Try thinking next time.

Now your sentence " we are not going to make it easy for Iran by getting into the Persian Gulf ". WTF are you on about?
Your argument is that somehow calling out 'anti AC missile' automatically render the ship useless. Your opinion that the ship is a 'sitting duck' have no basis in reality. WTF are YOU on about ?

You need to read my original post and read it slow maybe you will understand it better. You sound like a guy that has too much time on their hands and nothing do with it. if you still don't get it then there is no hope for you.
