In 2007 Iran had 1000 heavily armed speedboats. if we keep track of the mass production of the ships,boats since 2007 till now Iran will have atleast 2000 now!Where the hell are you getting that from? Or are you including rubber dinghys?
* Navy.However I support you guys but I have to say you are in delusion mate.
Your ships would be a fodder for F-18's and anti ship missiles. A US CBG is an army in itself.
Speed boats? They would be wiped out in seconds. Read the comment under the link you supplied.In 2007 Iran had 1000 heavily armed speedboats. if we keep track of the mass production of the ships,boats since 2007 till now Iran will have atleast 2000 now!
WorldTribuneComments: Iran's Hormuz fleet includes more than 1,000 heavily armed speedboats
The news report did not say the aircraft carrier passed through the Straits of Hormuz. It said the carrier entered the zone of Iran's exercises. In other words, it was in the littoral regions of the Gulf of Oman. That is a much larger area and much harder for Iran to pinpoint the location.The straight of Hormuz is just over 34Kms wide, with Iran on one side. How hard is it to detect a 100,000 ton ship moving through this narrow straight?
I should clarify what I meant before. What is happening here is that Iran is declaring a large "no go zone" in a critical international sea lane to demonstrate its ability to disrupt shipping through the Straits of Hormuz.Iran has full right to oppose if USN comes into forbidden territory, But attacking them will be suicide move. I agree with you that Iran can easily sink American supercarrier (If Some insane guys bring down twin tower, then whats big deal in sinking Supercarrier). But the question is consequence? What will USA do after it???
During peace time armed forces are relax, during war time any thing suspected within 300 Nautical miles will be killed by CBG. Hope you understand it....
You cant just destroy each and every speedboat. Those are very mobile and fast, destroying all of them is nearly impossible even if US deploys all of their jets (intending to destroy all the armed speedboats)Speed boats?

Just because you want oil doesn't give you the right to bully Middle East countries. Speak for india only please, not your Anglo superiors and certainly don't speak for China.India and Chila will go with USA on this one, due to them needing oil to grow their nations.
I hope not but what will happen if they really do.......???.. Need to keep a backup as well as an alternative......Irans strategy will be assymetrical when it counters the US navy. Those F16,18,22 can not destroy all those fast,mobile speedboats armed with missile launchers
Now we see Iran's reaction as well. They are going right up to the US aircraft carrier with a big sign that says "shoot me if you dare, USA." Close enough to take photos / videos. In a normal situation, a carrier would never allow a foreign aircraft to come so close. They would be warned, harassed and if necessary shot down. But because USA itself is barging into Iran's military exercises, and is within close range of Iran's missiles, it doesn't want to escalate the situation by shooting down the Iranian aircraft.
So, it is provocation and counter-provocation -- a naval stand-off. Neither side has opened fire. But it's very easy for "accidents" to happen in situations like this.

That is because the man does not have any military experience to know the true intention of an exercise: To expose flaws in current doctrines and weaknesses in arrays of forces.The Millennium Challenge being mentioned took place over 9 years; are we to assume a nation that has a military budget that is larger than the GDP of very many nations would sit around for the last decade and not counter these issues?
More importantly, in war footing, the US Navy will simply overpower its foes. How do you "swarm" a force that literally outnumbers you and has superior firepower? The greatest edge the US enjoys is the ability of all of its armed forces wings to function as one unit...no enemy vessel is coming anywhere near a carrier group.
But that is a pointless argument to begin with since the incredible American air power will insure complete air superiority in a matter of days, if not hours, at which point any and all land or sea targets will be sitting ducks. Trying to take on US military might head on will have devastating consequences for any nation, much less one that is equipped with obsolete equipment furnished by it's very adversary.
Who said we need to destroy every single one of them? We just need to destroy ENOUGH of them and we can do before they can be launched. Just like how the Iraqis were surprised, so will you.You cant just destroy each and every speedboat. Those are very mobile and fast, destroying all of them is nearly impossible even if US deploys all of their jets (intending to destroy all the armed speedboats)
Btw those comments are from american fanboys, the news is in the blog, the original news link is down World Tribune Iran's Hormuz fleet includes more than 1,000 heavily armed speedboats
