>>540916461iran has always been controlled by the statesit's all a show, always has been
>>540916461They're hard to sink and Iran doesn't have anything capable of sinking one or they would have by now.
>>540916461That might galvanize the American populace. Iran understands that the war is unpopular and is largely perceived to be in the interests of Israel. They want to keep it that way.
>>540916461It's literally been hiding out in the Indian Ocean so they can't hit it. That's why it can't get resupplied. It's way out in bumfuck open ocean.
>>540916551Dont need to sink, just make the flight deck swiss cheese so only VTOL can only operate. Like the ospreys, harriers, and F35 version C not B or A. They alreasy have toilet failures, just ard to their misery.
>>540916461>Why doesn't Iran just sink it?Same reason why it hasn't done shit to open the Strait of Hormuz: it loiters safely out of range.
>>540916505/thread
>>540916646Yet is yet to be yetted
>>540916580>hiding out in the Indian OceanImagine the smell
because there are none left houthis already sank them
>>540916461>doesn't know how a carrier is protected by smaller ships and submarines >doesn't know anything about warfare in general
>>540916804>muh houthis can sink burger carriers Kys retarded faggot
>>540916461The U.S funded the first Islamic Iranian coup in 1922.We literally own Iran and whip it out when it’s convenient.
>>540916461Its parked 1000km away from Iranian coastal water. Iran don't have anti ship missile with such a long range. Which beckons the question, how useful are carriers when it has to stay 1000km away from the war zone?
>>540916461Iran should offer them help and get them to defect.
If it came close to Iran I think they would sink it
>>540916461Because it's far enough away that it poses no threat to IranAlso China is probably telling Iran to lay off bombing shit.China is just waiting long enough for the US to go broke.Then pic related
>>540916461Too busy laughing at us fumbling around red-faced and fingering our anuses in frustration. Why would you risk turning that into legitimate anger? They're the adults holding their hand on the kid's head while they impotently swing and cry.
>>540916562Iran is far and away winning the optics war, for whatever that's worth. Seems like the entire world except kikes and boomers think this is yet another case of America bombing some browns who are no threat to America and probably wouldn't even hate us if we weren't bombing them. It's really pulling the wheels off of democracy as a whole: everyone who voted Republican in 2024 will swear up and down that they voted for NO NEW WARS, among other things. Some NPCs got a "PROTECT POOR ISRAEL" hotfix, but most of us voted, won, and got little to none of what we explicitly voted for.
>>540916461Because it's over 2000 miles from Iran.
>>540916461Even if it was parked in range and Iran had the capability (which they may), they'd probably restrain themselves at the request of the Russians/Chinese as the resulting escalation would be so large and unpredictable that it would be a serious problem for everyone. Just because you can do a thing militarily, doesn't mean it's always a great strategic move, for example the US attacking Iran in the first place.
>>540916461Putting out a Lego Ai video about it would do more damage. https://youtu.be/TP_vci1yyuY
>>540916461>why doesnt either side actuall do something of worthBecause that'd mean they'd have to risk stuff, rather than the show and games meant to bleed you dry financially.
>>540917590Kek, another oneshot propaganda victory for Iran. Build it, stay strong.
if they had the ability to, they would.
>>540916461It's too far away. They probably would fire at it though if it came near the Strait of Hormuz.
>>540916580You are retarded. Literal supply ships service the group.
>>540916770Helps it stay camouflaged with its backed up toilets. Iran thinks it is Indian and doesn't launch.
>>540916461>Why doesn't Iran just sink it?Because it would be an outright stupid maneuver on their end? I have to ask... how many pilots were on board that aircraft carrier? I guess they would have had to get clearance to deploy any of those fighter panes? The request would probably end up in some debate over the cost of jet fuel.
>>540918255>You are retarded. CC: Lambright
>>540916461what good would sinking it do? Iran doesn't even need to do anything but wait. the US can't do shit.
Because Iran only have the capacity to harass unguarded civilian tankers, not a armed warship.
>>540919199>not a armed warship....you think their rockets can't hit waterbased targets?
>>540916461Every single aircraft carrier is also equipped with tactical nuclear weapons.
>>540916461Because they don't have a Navy or Air Force
>>540916461because their war is fake. how can you tell the ships are even real? they dont even have real food on board and the toilets are also fake. those are fake decoy rust buckets.they take your money but its fake as the moon landing.
>>540916551>>540916551>>540916461iran has to find it first, it's moving target in big blue space. iran would need to devolop linking drones to be able to get it, so volley swarms that feed data to another to find it's location.
>>540916461Because it's a military vessel and not an unarmed civilian cargo ship
>>540916461>Why doesn't Iran just sink itThey don't want to give a reason to get nuked is why. If they wanted to they could unleash a barrage of ballistic missiles and eventually it would get struck.
>>540921651Chinese BeiDu (BDS) satellite system's GPS is separate from the west and it's more detailed in its accuracy though not quite as much as the European Galileo system which is down to 20cm. Beidu is down to 30cm, while GPS is 1 meter. Iranians have no need for drones to find American ships at sea, they get real time footage from space down to 30 cm detail. They know exactly where the surface fleet is.
>>540916461Because they are afraid of what would happen.
>>540916461it's surrounded by smaller ships that defend it
>>540916461https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPdAbd8U_gM
Because they have trouble knowing exactly where it is in real time. It can move like 50 miles between when an attack is launched and when it should reach its target.
>>540916461Why would they?America will sink it and say it was xyz, of course, but we'll know the truth here on good ol' /pol/.
>>540916461why did they mirror the photo
>>540918197They're winning the war brick by brick
>>540916461It's literally 1000 miles away you retard
>>540916461Why would they? It barely even interferes with their droning operations.Also, they'll just starve and drown in their own shit their own anyway.
>>540916461Because they know they'll get nuked if they do
>>540916461Why even bother?The words out. All you have to do to beat America in a war is just wait. Eventually they will run out of country songs to rile themselves up, run out of money, and get bored and go home. The republikikes and king pedo are 2 months away from being replaced by a bunch of kike hating brown communists. Getting into a shootout with an American warship now is literally the only way they can lose. All they have to do is not die between now and November and they win.
>>540916461So far Iran has forced 2 aircraft carriers to turn away by doing nothing lol and China got the US to move the aircraft carrier on their coasts to Iran
>>540916461Houthis can. This is an older ship we might get the opportunity to witness it sinking. Should try taking out other shops first.
>>540925640
>>540921651Carriers must have pretty great jamming too. The carrier itself, and its escort and the EW planes that it launches.Drones/missiles mesh networking could solve the targeting problem but it must be hard to make it reliable with all of the EW.I think direct laser communication is pretty much unjammable but every node must be able to know the position of the nodes it wants to communicate with. Which seems doable. Surprising that it's taking so long to develop desu. Supposedly Russia only started doing this recently. Dunno if it's working well and how much they're really using it.
>>540916551>doesn't have anything capable of sinking oneNot true. They have modern gen anti-ship missiles. Not much the carrier could do against a mass salvo.>Why don't they just do it then?They don't need to. Iran's strikes have been restrained and measured to what the US/Israel have been doing. Put in another way, if you have 1000 missiles at the start of the war, does it make sense to launch all 1000 in the first couple days, or strategically use your stockpile on strategic targets in proportion to the enemies actions?Keep in mind too Iran's objectives aren't the obliteration of the US/Israeli forces. It's to punish them via attrition until their will to fight is so low they capitulate to demands. In that regard Iran is succeeding bigly.
>>540916461You know why.
>>540925673Greetings shitstain how many people have you scammed today and how much trash did you throw on the street?
>>540916646They don't have the kill chain to be able to hit it, their hypersonic missiles can only hit like stationary targets like buildings.
