Subject: Re: About Iran’s Navy “At the Bottom of the Sea”
Missed the point, you did.

Iran's "Navy" is one guy driving a speedboat with another guy in the back with his AK or maybe an RPG. That's about it.

I didn’t miss the point at all.

Ukraine’s Navy and ability to confront (and sink) the Russian Black Sea Fleet was likewise ridiculed- until they sank the Russian Black Sea Fleet, or at least the major portion of it.

And Ukraine didn’t need a surface or submarine force to do it.

Just some shore based missiles and a few naval drones that were little more than surfboards with bombs strapped on them.

The calculus changes significantly when 30,000 dollars worth of innovation and spare parts proves itself capable of destroying a billion dollar ship.
