Iran Threatens to Target US Warships With 'Secret Weapons'

[CriticalThinker02]

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.

The Iraqi Mig-29 fighter were in-fact state of the art compared to what Iran posses currently, whether they did not had Awacs I'll look into it, the US on the other hand did not loose a single jet in an air to air engagement, the jet that felled down was more of the pilot error than the opposition you can look it up.

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

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

Air to Air refuelling from the arabian sea, you do know that the carrier fleet can move up-to the Arabian sea and still be relatively safe right, besides how will you be able to effectively respond if they knocked out all of your surveillance and radar capabilities with the B-2 spirit stealth bomber which possess over 11000 km range with internal fuel and over 19000 km range with one air to air refuelling and or cruise missiles.

my friend there will be no untouched airbase in 2000 km of us if a war broke out.

Asharq Al-Awsat

A senior Iranian military official said Iran can sink US warships sent to the Gulf region using missiles and “secret weapons,” semi-official news agency Mizan reported on Saturday.

General Morteza Qorbani, an adviser to Iran’s military command, has threatened the US with targeting its warships.

“America.. is sending two warships to the region. If they commit the slightest stupidity, we will send these ships to the bottom of the sea along with their crew and planes using two missiles or two new secret weapons,” Qorbani stressed.

Washington on Friday announced the deployment of 1,500 troops to the Middle East, describing it as an effort to bolster defenses against Iran, Reuters reported.

Western experts say Iran often exaggerates its weapons capabilities, although there are concerns about its missile program and particularly its long-range ballistic missiles.

For 40 years Iran has stored many secrets... dumbasses wanna see them in case of war or military exercises.

 

[Wa Muhammada]

What could possibly be the "secret weapon"?

Austin Powers?

If the US makes the mistake of attacking Iran...you guys should let loose and give em all u got. Give them a bloody nose

 

[Hamza913]

Dude, please do some research before engaging with me again.

What "research"? They had some of the best equipment, even Vietnam didn't have the weapons they did. They also outnumbered Israel multiple times over, yet they did not achieve anywhere near as much as they should have.

Under-performed in 1973 Ramadan war.. where did you get that?

My own study of the conflict. The Arabs came out as the winners, but should have done so much better.

Anti Ship Ballistic Missiles? American Ships have air defences and practically you are hitting Air defences with Ballistic Missiles. Don't think Iran will suceed in it

The missile would first have to pass ECMs, then you need a swarm of them to get past air defense, 300-500 missiles total to knock out a fleet. 98% ADS kill ratio will let a dozen past the ADS, if they ran out of SAMs, perhaps 60-100 get by.

You don't just build one. If they don't like spending so much on ballistic missiles, mass drone attack with bombs to draw most of their ADS being used up before the missile attack. Even naval bombers firing anti-ship missiles to use up the SAMs even more. Three waves long range drones with bombs (for firing practice), naval bombers, then the missiles at the end of the attack.

Although the ADS on the American ships are different types for different incoming missiles.

yes B_2 are my main concern too but there cruise missiles have limited range and can be intercepted AA guns are the best options for that and Iran has several thousand of these automatic AA guns deployed throughout Iran to do the job with there own radars and thermal cameras and do not forget that we have 3000 km cruise missiles too.





Iran's automatic AA guns are the first line of defence

Iran's ZSU-23-4 are the second line of defence

Iran's automatic SAMAVAT AA guns are the third line of defence

Iran's automatic SAEAR AA guns are the fourth line of defence

Iran's YA ZAHRA and FM 80 and HEZR _ 9 and RAPIER short range SAM are the fifth and sixth line of defence

Iran's TOR M 1 short range SAM are the seventh line of defence

Iran's SAM _ 6 and upgraded RAAD _ 1 and upgraded RAAD _ 2 SAM are the eighth line of defence

Iran's Hawk and upgraded SHALAMCHE SAM are the ninth line of defence

 

[Yaseen1]

I think if they actually have such capability they should not threaten u.s but use it in surprise

Layers of defense is the best defense, as has been shown in Syria, just one Pantsir is not going to do the job of defense.

[aziqbal]

Irans missiles are not the greatest threat

Iran also many militia they can set lose, now that was be a problem

agreed i just named Iran SAM Layers and i put a lot of them out of the list.

 

[Hack-Hook]

That dude has no clue.

I wonder if the guy and @LeGenD are cousins

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

we didn't fire it at the ships , they wanted to fire it at its range and Indian ocean is the only option for us
