I should check if someone else posted this first but nah #cloutfarming #postforpost
Great, if true
Did you know that the US govt has denied personnel losses for literal years just randomly occurred to me #offtopic
I did, as a matter of fact :p
I hope that is true
Big
I’m not digging it up to reply bc I’m lazy but I meant to say thanks for actually providing the lead on the submunitions guidance thing, people are doubling down on that so I haven’t got around to clarifying it yet. Whether or not there is some guidance people are saying it isn’t like a cluster bomb so regardless I spread some disinfo 🤔 the thing is, hardly anyone even cares if Iran is using something unethical, and the whole media false claims strategy already failed the 3rd reich & ukraine
Rules of war are completely dead by now. Iran can start using nerve gas against Israel for all I care
If
True
Surely all they have to do is zerg rush drones through the phalanx and damage the launchers and its pretty much done.

The carrier groups try to leave before stocks get that low on interceptors because no at-sea reloading has been developed. Plus, the missile bays share space with tomahawks for that.
Launchers = catapaults. If the planes cant fly, the carrier is basically a target.
That does seem like the plan
Searching “uss abraham lincoln hit” indicates Iran’s been claiming for weeks to have hit the Lincoln. And it’s been thoroughly denied by US command. So either the US government is blatantly lying about a carrier being hit, or the Iranian state media is lying for propaganda purposes. Personally, I’m inclined to believe the US gov here. If a carrier is reduced to a smoldering wreck, you’re just not going to be able to hide that for very long. There would be thousands of witnesses, from both the carrier and its escorts. And eventually someone’s going to notice that no one is phoning home to their relatives anymore from the Lincoln. Even if the ship was already under a communications blackout, eventually there will come a time where the ship and crew would have ended their deployment. At most you could hide the destroyed carrier for a few months. No. There is just no practical way to hide a loss that big.
In fact, they wouldn’t even try. They would be shouting about it from the rooftops. Every politician who opposed war funding would be accused of betraying the dead crew of the Lincoln. There’s just no practical way to hide a loss that large, so you might as well lean into it for propaganda.
Being hit =/= shipwreck. From what I’ve heard, it got hit with something like Shaheed drone. So it did some damage, yes, but not “instasink” damage. Just enough to spook the crew into relocation
Aircraft carriers have dropped planes into the Red Sea off of evasive actions alone, I don’t think this is a wild claim. The wild claims and walkbacks are coming from the US government, which is denying things we can see from satellite. I’m sure that’s all just Chinese AI to you.
