woops.. Iranian Missle stikres their own ship.

Iran missile strikes own ship, kills 1 sailor, hurts others
May 11, 2020 Updated 4 min ago
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — State television says a Iranian missile struck a naval support ship during an exercise in the Gulf of Oman, killing at least one sailor and wounding others.

The report Monday said the Konarak, a Hendijan-class support ship, was too close to a target during an exercise Sunday. It had been putting targets out for other ships to target.

It said the missile struck the vessel accidentally.

Iran regularly holds exercises in the region, which is closed to the strategic Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf through which 20% of the world’s oil passes. The U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet, which monitors the region, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

BBC news says 19 dead so far admitted-to and 15 injured.

Sounds a lot more than a minor event to me.

Good to know that they are just as good at shooting the shit out of their own people, as well as shooting down civilian airliners. If we gave them enough ammunition they could probably sink everything that they had above the surface.

Is there any chance we have the ability to take over their missile's onboard navigation system?

Next up, a true Wile E. Coyote event. The missile goes straight up. And right back down to its firing position.

“40+ dead due to COVID-19 on Iranian Navy ship” will be The NY Times and CNN coverage.

Hit one of these with their copy of a Chinese copy of an Exocet.



Apparently, owners’ manual did not cover command and control. Or maybe they had a wonky tranlation from Mandarin to Farsi...

Well now the Iranians know the answer to the question "If we copy the Chinese copy of the Exocet, what could possibly go wrong?
