Iran's Revolutionary Guard...so cute

RE: Iran's Revolutionary Guard...so cute
(February 25, 2015 at 4:04 pm)Cato Wrote: Iran televised a training exercise called "Great Prophet 9" where speedboats attacked a model of a U.S. aircraft carrier.

Iran's view of things:
Quote:"American aircraft carriers are very big ammunition depots housing a lot of missiles, rockets, torpedoes and everything else," the Guard's navy chief, Adm. Ali Fadavi, said on state television. A direct hit by a missile could set off a large secondary explosion, he added.

Fadavi last month boasted that his force is capable of sinking American aircraft carriers in the event of war. He previously called carriers easy targets and said Iran naturally wants to sink them.

American view of things:
Quote:"We're quite confident of our naval forces' ability to defend themselves," he said. "It seems they've attempted to destroy the equivalent of a Hollywood movie set."

I wish there was a way of assessing the average Iranian viewer's reaction to the broadcast. Certainly the majority of the population isn't as delusional as their admiral; one would hope.

It seems the Iranian admiral has in mind the Essex-class CVs of WWII fame -- unarmored, and overladen with aircraft for their displacement, meaning huge fuel tanks as well.

I'm thinking he's in for a surprise.
