The Iran goverment announced yesterday they have a high speed
underwater missle.

They say it can go 280+mph, they also claim it is un-detectable by
sonar, and get this" The American ships and submarines will not be able
to outrun them" .

Oh and they are launched off stelth small boats.

Bwwahahahahahahahahaa I bet the guys are the pentagon are all
ROTFLTAO!

Plastic Saber Ratteling!

The Russians sold those torpedoes to the Chinese 5 years ago.

The Iranians can launch them from the chokepoint of the Persian Gulf where
it is shallow and American submarines and Aircraft Carriers most vulnerable.
They can be launched from land or on water close to shore. The whole eastern
side of the Persian Gulf is Iran.

The mere presence of those things alters US tactics in the region. They
could deny the Persian Gulf to carriers.

It was in the Persian Gulf that American warships followed behind oil
tankers because they were too vulnerable to Russian WWI era sea mines.

If you had spent some part of your Navel Career aboard a Vessel of the Line
rather than some floating Club-Med Used Destroyer Parts Dealer ship you
would appreciate the Navy more rather than rattling your plastic empty
headed skull!

Amen!

If the Russian's sold them to the Iran navy they have to get within
7,500 yards to fire them Bob.

Geeee the US Navy has to be shaking in thier boots over that. How could
we defend ourself from such great distances?
Quick lets abandon the Persian Gulf. Stay 8000 yards out into the
Atlantic or Pacific to be safe!

Bwahahahahahahaaa.

The whole of the Persian Gulf is shallow, averaging only 50 meters. I'm
just guessing, but I wouldn't expect much submarine activity in the Gulf.
