Iranian Navy no match for US battle group - Russian military official

yeah but do you really think if the entire might of usa fight against the navy you will win? usa is really powerful and expect coalition support too what do you think

Iran does not have to "win". Just cause unacceptable damage to US interests

duhhh US has 2000+ nukes , over 15 Aircraft carries, over 18,000 aircrafts , a 15 $ trillion economy , Iran just knows they won't attack it so it keeps spouting stupidity -_-

They had a lot more than Vietnam as well

Most here do not respect experience. They believe their own Internet gleaned knowledge and personal biases to be superior to experience.

Well we are commenting on what a Russian General a third party who says that America would have problems against Iranians. I think he has more experience than you and me and should be listened to
 
Iran cant defend its naval assets if attacks last longer unless they get back up help from RIC .
 
The current flagship for Carrier Strike Group Three is the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN-74) which is being deployed in the Gulf. Check out its composition.....

Note that CSGs are not restricted to a specific composition and can be modified depending on expected threats, roles, or missions expected during a deployment, and one may be different from another. Strike groups are formed and disestablished on an as needed basis, and one may be different from another. However, they all are comprised of similar types of ships.

Carrier Strike Group

A supercarrier, which is the centerpiece of the strike group and also serves as the flagship for the CSG Commander and his/her staff.

A carrier air wing (CVW) typically consisting of up to nine squadrons.

Two Aegis guided missile cruisers (CG), of the Ticonderoga class—a multi-mission surface combatant, equipped with BGM-109 Tomahawk missiles for long-range strike capability.

A destroyer squadron (DESRON) consisting of escort destroyers, with two to three guided missile destroyers (DDG), of the Arleigh Burke class—a multi-mission surface combatant, used primarily for anti-aircraft (AAW) and anti-submarine (ASW) warfare, but which also carries Tomahawk missiles for long-range strike capability.

Two to three attack submarines, usually of the Los Angeles-class used to screen the strike group against hostile surface ships and submarines, but which also carry Tomahawk missiles for long-range strike capability.

A combined ammunition, oiler and supply ship (AOE/AOR), that provides logistic support.

The air wing squadrons consist of F/A-18C/E/F Super Hornets, an electronic attack squadron consisting of EA 6B Prowlers, Carrier AEW E-2C Hawkeyes, Fleet Logistics Support Squadron, Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (Raptors) and a Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron for Anti-Surface Warfare (Eightballers).

Well if you want to go that way Iran through it's proxy as you like to call them Hezbollah attacked and defeated Israel
You'r right, Hezbollah defeated Israel just like Nasser defeated Israel in 1967 and Saddam defeated USA in 1991.

Praying Mantis happened while Iran was fighting for a long time and war pressure made the army weaker than the beginning of the war and In that condition it only needed a 5 year old child to command so many warships to fire only one warship!You can't honor to it!Today is completely different and you know that very well.
I did not doubt that you will come with some kind of excuse. In fact in 1988 Iran has battlehardened experienced army. Now it has army that can only shoot and rape teenage student girls.

And how much 'unacceptable damages' can we wreak on Iran?

They had a lot more than Vietnam as well
Did the US fought as unrestrained in Viet Nam as it did in WW II?

Well we are commenting on what a Russian General a third party who says that America would have problems against Iranians. I think he has more experience than you and me and should be listened to
Sure...The same way the Russians, the Chinese, and plenty of third parties commented about Desert Storm. Being wrong and/or made mistakes added to one's life experience. May be you should take these guys' opinions seriously because they were wrong and made plenty of mistakes in their 'analyses' about Desert Storm.
 
^^ this has been discussed many times my friend. to put it very short for you. We Iranians have no intention to go and invade countries left and right. But when we are under threat and danger in our own region we are sure to make a nightmare for our enemies

Dude, I take my hats off to u guys for the kinda courage u guys have been showing all this while despite the situation u guys are in, but with all due respect dude, like the other guy said, I don't think u guys would stand a chance if it were to escalate to a full-scale war. I really hope both sides exercise diplomacy and find a peaceful way out.

Iran army is stronger than each country in the region even than Israel.If it wasn't correct,Israel and US would have attacked us a hundred times.You see you worry facing us since if you attack us,those teenage girls who were shot and raped,would be Israeli soldiers.
 
Iran army is stronger than each country in the region even than Israel.
Whats strong there? F-5 copy jets? Zulqifar tank which cant even drive by itself? Flying stealth boats?

If it wasn't correct,Israel and US would have attacked us a hundred times.
We did not attack Somali either, I guess its superstrong. :lol:

You see you worry facing us since if you attack us
Its you who are threatning us with destruction. And why would we attack u especially when u are busy supporting psychopath regime in Syria that slaughters own people? Ur regime is deviding Arab world and destroying its unity.

woulda coulda shoulda
 
You guys are forgetting Operation Praying Mantis in 1988.

US-Iran had a Naval Clash in which USA annhiliated the Iranian Navy.

Iran is full of rhetoric for domestic consumption and stands no chance against US Forces.

Iran fought a 8 year war with Iraq and it was a stalemate.

USA destroyed Iraqi Armies in 100 hours during Gulf War.

That is the scale of disparity that faces Iran.
 
Iran Vs US navy how can any stupid compare it . Iran need to realize that they don't' have any chance against mighty US navy . It will be hours to annihilate Iranian navy (read speed boat). what they can announce as victory or as a national pride moment if they can sink any us ship or damage it nothing more .
 
Iranian Navy in weapons number and quality yes the are not the match to USA power but the Taliban had far far far far less power but what they and Iran have common is they are ready to fight till their last drop of Blood and are ready to sacrifice everything for their nation and GOD :guns:

hahaha, USA is not going to launch a ground invasion of Iran.

It will use Air and Naval Bombardment to devastate Iran.

The Taliban are a bunch of 10th century barbarians. They brainwash kids into becoming suicide bombers, burn down girl schools and instill backward practices.

They need to be wiped out just like the Nazis and belong in the dustbin of history.

A good Taliban is a dead Taliban.
 
it is true but i don t think iran will face them with naval forces only
they can attack with every thing they got dont forget that it is their homeland
what if they targeted this battlegroup with all long range missiles and kamikaze jets and strikes with their air force and their navy at the same time no anti air defence in the world would stand to all this i am sure iran has trained some frogman or seals commandos
if you look at how we in the 70 s destroyed the eliat with torpedo vassals and destroying militry port with only 4 frogman so it can be done i think the real challange would be defending iran sky from us air force
