ALF Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Trump on Twitter tells US Navy to 'shoot down and destroy' Iranian boats that harass US ships CNN reported last week that the US Navy released video that it says shows Iranian naval vessels repeatedly conducting "dangerous and harassing approaches" toward US Navy warships in the North Arabian Sea and claimed that one Iranian vessel came within 10 yards of colliding with a US ship. The video of the incident appears to show multiple Iranian-flagged vessels, with men manning guns at the front of those ships, passing in front of a US naval vessel. The guns do not appear to be pointed at the ship, which sounded a horn multiple times as the Iranian vessels approached. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/22/politics/trump-us-navy-iranian-ships-tweet/index.html I would agree , not sure how to deal with Russian jets that harass US aircraft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lock on to them every time the Russian jets harass them. If they continue to harass them shoot one down. In the future they'll take note when they get locked on to, if they even dare additional harassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 U.S. Navy warships deployed to South China Sea The U.S. Navy has deployed two warships to the South China Sea amid elevated tensions between China and Vietnam. On Tuesday, Navy officials said the USS America and USS Bunker Hill sailed near a Chinese scout ship in disputed waters amid Beijing’s push to increase influence in the area. This happened after China allocated additional forces to the South China Sea, while the coronavirus has continued to ravage its neighboring countries. </snip> 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherpa Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) 21 hours ago, ALF said: I would agree , not sure how to deal with Russian jets that harass US aircraft. This isn't that big of a deal. It's been going on for years. It's just a way to let them know you know about them. I've done scores of these intercepts of Soviet bombers and one potentially hostile Iranian one. The complaint is how the Russians are doing it. There is a protocol to approach from the rear, on the side, from 4 or 5 o'clock, or 7 or 8 o'clock, and make your presence known in a non threatening way. The Russians are intercepting intel gathering airplanes and doing things like flying inverted near them, or "thumping" them. Thumping is flying under them with a good deal of overtake speed, then pulling up through their projected flight path, resulting in them flying through your wake turbulence and jet wash. It's a really stupid thing to do. If they breach the protocols, they invite a weapon response. As an example, when the two Libyan Migs were shot down by US Navy F-14'a from Kennedy. If you listen to the audio, the US pilots repeatedly mention the Migs turning into them in a head on intercept. That is to display the clear hostile action, and justify the response. Splashed Migs Audio starts at 2 minute mark. This Iranian revolutionary Guard thing has been going on for years as well, but they are playing with their lives if they keep it up, as these are clearly aggressive and possibly threatening tactics.

The rest of your post........ The point is that if the Iranian Revolutionary Guard continues to behave in a hostile manner that effects navigation in international waters, a Skipper of a US combatant may well decide that such activity is a threat. He is responsible for his ship and crew, and as an ex sailor, presumably, you would want him to act appropriately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what the air force engineers expertly avoided by not keeping all the planes on 1 side of the island. They performed a truly remarkable balancing act. But now that all that weight is gone, there'll be nothing to hold it in place anymore. Especially if the wind picks up it could get blown half way to Orehon before we know it; and then it won't be good as a bomber base anymore since the planes will all be too far from places in Asia, like Hawaii for instance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
