How the fuck is the US going to conduct a naval landing on Kharg-Island when the Muhreens would literally have to go through the straight of Hormuz?

They are taking the coast, the MEU. They will likely take the coast first. The coast has to be sanitized. US forces have been "pounding" the coast, as trump put it, already since the beginning, destroying anti ship missile batteries and what not.

Just research it yourself. All the answers about current shaping operations for taking the island/sanitizing sea lanes are available OSINT. Use your brain.
>>
>>530943382
Securing the US embassy in iraq is not something that is important with regard to sanitizing the sea lanes, and continuing to prosecute Operation Epic Fury, in general.

They are going to do amphibious operations. They will help to sanitize the coast/sea lanes.
>>
Maybe Trump will use this as a test of Iran's capabilities to actual target ships in the strait. He'll say look, our military vessel made it though with most of the crew alive time to start sending through your oil tankers.
>>
They’re not heading to Kharg. The only people saying that are low information, low IQ niggers.

There hasn’t been any official word on where the MEU is heading, but presupposing it’s Kharg is just fucking dumb. First, the Strait of Hormuz is closed. Anything trying to pass through would be attacked, which is why the US doesn’t have aircraft carrier groups in the Persian Gulf. If the most powerful naval tool in the US military finds it too dangerous, what chance does a small MEU have?

And it’s not just the Strait that’s dangerous. Kharg is ~300 miles beyond that. If the US possessed god-like powers and can just take out all Iranian middle installations along its coast then we would t even be talking about a MEU.

An MEU is fairly small, and used for very specific missions. They’re not designed to hold positions for very long, so the idea of “taking” Kharg island is just fucking stupid. This unit can only sustain itself for two weeks (yeah, I know). After that it needs resupplies of food, ammunition, and fuel. There are no supply lines into the Persian Gulf.

Their most likely destination is Qeshm, and their mission is probably to die as a way to garner support for a larger attack or something.

it's not hard to GET there, you could fly all the way from romania if you wanted to
the problem, and the reason why they have not done it yet, is STAYING there.
iran could just drone strike the entire thing into dust, the various THAAD interceptors used against ballistic missiles have already been either KOd or exhausted or both, and cheap lawnmower drones can be spammed for a dime a dozen

Iran is smarter than that. They’ll blow up anything that looks like it holds water and keep ships away from the island until the troops die of thirst.

Iran seems to have basically no AA capability. No sign they've shot anything down apart from surveillance drones. Although perhaps just manpada would suffice to isolate US Gulf Island forces from resupply if the Iranians can get their ahir together.

Strategically the US clearly bitten off way way more than it can chew. Iran just needs to not fall apart politically. If they had a half-day decent government most people didn't hate they could be confident if strategic victory, but they currently seme to be ruled by enoch vegetables so maybe they just fall apart from the inside.

Lol mutt zogbot retard. A single MEU is going to take the coast and the island? When Iran can still bombard the coastline and the island with drones from further inland? Also a single transport craft taken down = 900 Marines in the water. MEU is relying on WW2 tactics that will get them slaughtered if they try to take the Island. Trump is dumb enough to try but I doubt any Marine General is willing too so there's likely internal pushback from those who know its suicide. Same reason the US Navy is nowhere near the Straight and refusing to escort ships.

A small force of 5000 marines could probably take this area, but holding it long term will be difficult.
if the iranians try to move their troops in large numbers in that direction, using trains, highways, etc, they will get vaporized from the air. So iranians will have to move using "eyedrop" tactics, moving in small civilian vehicles, and building up their strength over time, while staying far apart to make airstrikes less useful. this gives the americans some time to build up their defenses.
once the iranians have built up their forces the marines will get hit daily with FPV drones, snipers, lone mortar teams using hit and run tactics, etc and they will pull out.
>>
>>530949316
You do realize that they will just die in a sea of fire if Iran decides to send drones, right?

Whole island is filled oil depots.
>>
>>530949201
They're going to Iraq to reinforce infrastructure like the embassy. The refueling planes also need support and a ground presence to keep them safe during operations that needs reinforcement aa well is my best guess. They arent going to Kharg Island.
>>
>>530949383
I'm not talking about the island, but a narrow strip of land around the strait. taking the island is pointless and accomplishes nothing. taking the iranian side of the strait, on the other hand, 1) forces the iranians to retreat inland and 2) concentrate their firepower on the marines, which would forcefully open the strait. but like i said in my post the casualties would pile up over time, they would probably lose an entire afganistan worth of casualties in 3 months. its retarded. But at least it would accomplish more than whatever they're doing right now.

MEUs only work if you control sea and air. Iran’s whole setup is built to stop that. Missiles, drones, mines, coastal batteries. You’re not landing without resistance.
This is literally what Gen David Berger’s Force Design 2030 and EABO stuff is about. Old model packs most of the force on a few big amphibs. One good hit and you lose a huge chunk instantly. New idea spreads them out, but then you don’t have the weight or sustainment to take and hold anything.
Kharg is right off their coast, fully covered, already dialed in. No surprise.
Raids, sure. That’s what these MEUs are good at.
Trying to take and hold something inside Iran’s coastal defenses is a completely different problem.
Mass up and you get hit hard
Spread out and you’re too weak to hold anything.
To actually do it you’d have to wipe their whole coastal network first. At that point it’s not a raid anymore.

Parachuting in where?
You only do airborne drops when you own the air. Iran’s coast is covered in SAMs, radar, and fighters. Slow transports don’t even get close.
Even if some make it, you’re dropping light infantry with limited ammo and no armor right next to prepared defenses. You need a drop zone, you need resupply, you need extraction. None of that exists there.
Kharg is right off their coast, already zeroed in. Same problem for the mainland.
Airborne is for grabbing weak or undefended points, not landing inside a layered air defense network.
Best case you get scattered and cut off. More likely the planes never make it in.
That’s not a plan, that’s a complete loss.

Unsupported from the Mainland? No, deathtrap.
No food or water or resupply? I doubt a IRGC ship has docked in the last 15 days.
I'm sure we hit the desalination plant during the first raids.

Never discount the possibility that the Garrison Commander got a call on his personal cell phone from Hegseth and they have already talked things over.

Just looking at the map there is no cover anywhere except the town around the airfield.
So you would blow the shit out of anything that moved with Fighters and Helos, grab the high ground via air-mobile assault. Set up the artillery and shell them till they quit.

There is no realistic plan. The Marines are intended to die.

I think you have that backwards.
Any Op that lets the Iranians get their army into play would give them raging hard-ons and dreams of Glory and Death. It would also mean lots of dead Americans.

They would make a big show of it as a distraction while we grab Karg and Karko.

Karg is a huge economic asset, as opposed to a few miles of mountains and deserts.

Why would we need to? Just bombard the island.
>>
>>530954085
if you built something light enough and large enough that you can make it hover using those fans then you wont have enough mass to absorb the momentum of landing planes, means you need the fans to be much more powerful than they need to be to give you enough margin to cancel that momentum using pretty advanced avionics.
another solution would be to have the flying carrier move at slightly below the landing speed of your aircrafts so you dont have to capture all its momentum, but then you would have to plan a hover route that doesn't have any difficult weather in it.
also the carrier would be a very easy target and a very weak one too, since you have to make it light.
>>
>>530955284
>Why would we need to?

If we get the island we get the off-shore oil and natgas until the end of hostilities.
If the Saudis want to do some business with us they can manage the facilities and sell the oil, crediting it to our accounts.

And loud as fuck as well.

Rotors might be as big as 12 meters, based on the size of the cockpits of the 'whatevers' it carries as an airgroup.

The rotor tips would be moving at Mach 1.7 to lift 50k tons and maneuver it.
So many sonic booms, over and over and over.

Anon, they can’t get to Kharg Island, as the Strait of Hormuz is too heavily fortified.

They can’t hold Kharg Island, as there’s no supply line into the Persian Gulf… because the Strait is too heavily fortified.

This entire operation and the biggest part of the war has come down to the global economy and trade partners rethinking their relationship with the United States because the Strait is closed. And it remains closed… because it’s too heavily fortified.

The MEU isn’t being sent to Kharg Island. It’s being sent to Qeshm. It will fail, and it will be used solely as an excuse to accelerate.

Not really. Targeting has shifted to local police commanders and IRGC junior officers. They only ones getting a pass are in major urban areas, out in the sticks they are getting whacked as fast as they can be geo-located.

I'd say high IQ, but it's extremely basic and everyone else is just oblivious. It is absolutely going to either be Qeshm (just look at a map) or Qeshm will be a distraction for a Shahid Rajaee landing and seizure. Either way the straits of Hormuz will likely be the primary target if Tehran isn't just decapitated immediately. I cannot imagine getting the territories at the end of Gulf, and not having a way to allow the Gulf oil kingdoms to transport the oil out. Often military strategy is saying one thing, and doing another; deception. But Hormuz and Tehran are the two biggest priorities, afterwards the third priority is Kharg. If we take over Kharg we get the oil but that's just one more oil bank that cannot be transported, if we get Hormuz we allow transport for like a dozen other oil banks.
>>
>>530957316
The Marines were airlifted in during the invasion of Afghanistan.

Which begs the question, if they're being used to take Kharg, they'd be using the ships, which as this thread has made it obvious, is near suicide running along the coast, let alone the strait.

82nd would be better suited to take Kharg in that regard, they're airlift capable and landing on hostile ground is basically their habitat.

And if they're being used to secure embassies, why not just airlift them in C-130s instead of taking weeks to get there by sea?

ohhhhhhhh that makes sense, so Saddam was just trying to expand Iraq's territory, up to the mountain ranges in the east, not conquer Iran. Taking advantage, of course, of Iran's disfigured military leadership just after the Revolution.
Still a fucking stupid move, but a lot less stupid than I thought when I first learned about it.

Just a coincidence, I'm sure.

Even if the MEU takes Qeshm Island, how does that secure the strait of Hormuz? The entire strait is within range of Iran's drones/ballistic missiles, how many oil tankers need to get sunk before the strait is impassible? It's going to be fucking chaos. And even if it's relatively peaceful, how peaceful does it have to be before insurance on tankers is reinstated?

If Iran blows up the Island, they permanently destroy their own economy and the Regime effectively ends. Iran wouldn't be a nation anymore. If the Island is in the hands of the US, it at least works as leverage for the US, which can be used to negotiate a deal which might alone give some people in the regime a chance to stay relevant.

Also remember that because of Mosaic defense, their commanders aren't working in unity. It's now effectively a bunch of regional warlords with their own military companies and funds. So a coordinated attack from the IRGC is no longer a threat.

America started this war by killing a 150 schoolgirls, endearing itself to the Iranian people, martyring its Shiite pope and ensuring any surviving Iranian leadership passionately hates America.
Russia and China are probably feeding Iran intelligence on US targets the way America does Ukraine in their war vs Russia, thanks to drones and ballistic missiles the US can't airdrop into a major city and use that as a staging area for a ground invasion, so it's either go amphibious assault from Bander Abbas or through Herat in the northeast from the Afghanistan border, assuming the Taliban just......allow us to spend months assembling the infantry, armor, supplies, and artillery/armored cavalry for a ground invasion. Or go full chaos mode and use nuclear weapons to force surrender which would make Israel, and no one else, happy.
what a stupid, colossally retarded thing to do.
>>
>>530965491
Yep.
The Regime as we know it is effectively done, though it's possible it'll exist on paper.

Take Khrag Island, and now the IRGC no longer gets their paycheck and very quickly you'll see mosaic defense fall to pieces.

Not to mention their missile and drone launches are at less than 10% capabilities, and bombing it risks destroying it.

It's the most obvious strategic point to take, so obvious, the US made it clear to Iran they intend to take it when they attacked the air defense to pressure them.

They are heading to Cuba. You read it here first. Biggest plot twist of the century.

The only thing they can do is just say you're a redditor and they're right because of their "feelings".

Sorta, insurance rates are still insane and if we take kharg it eliminates any leverage Iran has to entice chinese involvement.
Most of china's ME oil comes from SA though, and we have made it clear we have no intention to fuck with that.
We aren't trying to destroy china, just squeeze them a little to assert our dominance.
This is to get them to back down off the aggressive bullshit they have been pulling the last few years, like floating fucking spycraft directly over our territory in plain sight like we wouldnt do anything about it.

Even if they can get there, how do they expect to take it with 2500 men? It's an island roughly the size of Iwo Jima, and that took 60,000 men to take. Iran has been getting ready for this for decades. They are sure to have a massive tunnel network on the island, and we have no idea how many men they have there, it could be anywhere from a few companies to a division. Even if it is only a few companies, the island is in howitzer range of the Iranian coast, and Iran definitely has the capacity to bring in reinforcements via speedboat while the US couldn't even resupply the marines, much less reinforce them with anything aside from maybe paratroopers or frogmen.

Maybe the airspace is even less secure than we thought, and they don't think they can just fly C-130s into Iraq.

Yes it is, as of yesterday it is still completely operational. Trump destroyed the military airport and landing strip. He didn't touch the oil facilities, as has been US policy throughout this war. Only Israel and Iran have bombed refineries: not the US (yet).

SOF would need 12hrs to get into the complex
They need protection, that's what the MEU will do.

It wouldn't work like that, but a nuclear powered hybrid lift design could get pretty massive and could work as an airborne aircraft carrier. I think it'd be better to use hooks underneath to catch the fighters than to try and land on the thing.

Not the problem, in fact in some ways the square cube law works in favor of it.

A hybrid lift design could work, it wouldn't look anything like the pic, but you could get an airborne aircraft carrier like that.

The rotors would need to spin so fast, they would kill your ears or make you go insane.

the strait is closed to shipping only as companies are scared of losing ships and cargo
the US navy would probably want to lose ships because then they can give the MIC contracts for rebuilding them

Orwell actually wrote about this in 1984

>>530978623
The US is already building ships at maximum capacity, which isn't that high, like 1.1 a year or something. Losing ships means officers losing their jobs and not being able to go work for the MIC afterwards because they reputation is destroyed, and they don't want that.

It's incredibly fucking hard to do lose a modern warship though outside of direct sabotage. The Cole and Stark both returned to service after their attacks.
