I won't say it... Should be a good interview. I'm interested to see what the Israeli government will say about this after reading the above clip.

Roger out.  :salute:

Good point, and I agree with it. I am not sure if they would send one of their flagships (Alvand Class) to carry out the task however, even though the Navy is their smallest branch. I know that it will happen eventually, but now is not the time in my opinion.

Two british ships that were laid down before either one of us were born. As an Op, I am sure you know what radar systems along with current defensive Hard and Soft Kill ASMD systems we have on our ships, and how they compare to defences from the Sheffield and Glamorgan. As for the Stark, have a...

That is not what I think, but thanks for telling me. I don't believe that the two ships are a threat because based on the Israeli defence capabilities, not one of the 4 SSMs on the Alvand would hit their target. It might be optimistic or unrealistic in some eyes, but achievable in mine. The...

For Journeyman re:PM How is it trolling when someone debates opinions and responds to questions regarding their posts? As for MP, I have already made my opinion regarding them clear on another thread. Back to topic at hand. Again, improper word usage. Meant to use "targets". Substitute one...

I wasn't going to elaborate on the missiles but I guess I have to a bit. The C802 SSM is an active missile. This means that it uses an on-board radar to find a target and destroy it. This is also called a fire and forget missile. It is a very useful seaborne tool. The problem with launching this...

Good point about your posts regarding shore targets, my mistake. I would say though that there is nothing in the water worth shooting at that would warrant the implications of doing so. I am aware of the missile operation. What would be the term you would use to describe a missile acquiring a...

If you read the next sentience after the one you highlighted, you could see that there are reasons why it matters. And I agree that your suggested tactics, however ineffective they would be.

And even still you believe that a ship laid down in the 60's is a threat  for a military that is armed by the most advanced in the world. A total of 4 SSMs vs Israel. Not really a match in my books.  I have also mentioned numerous times that all my posts are regarding the CURRENT situation ( as...

Alas we have reached an impass.

React to what? That they are sailing around the Medditerrainian?

I hope you don't seriously believe that Iran has the intent to attack Israel right now. I think that you might benifit from reading up on what the Alvand class is capable of before you suggest it is capable of being a threat.

There's no bouncing around. One fact does not correlate to the other. The first quote I simply provided information that a sail had been made in 1979. The second was speaking about the invasion of a foreign country, that happened 22 years ago. Time is all relative to what your are speaking...

The ships are not a threat, but there is a cause for concern as to why they are there. To break it down, the ships themselves pose no immediate threat. The Israeli navy could easily dispose of them. Any attack initiated by them ( the ships ) would result in their own demise. Therefore it would...

Ok, I will try to break it down nice and simple one last time, just for you. I agree that there is cause for concern. I agree that the Israeli government would be right to be at a state of high alert. I won't even get into the ships themselves. The sail is not unprecedented. Again, it was done...

I have no idea why you would put me on the spot. What was so confusing about my post? This is not a threat to anyone right now. I don't believe that I stated that there is no cause for concern regarding the actions of Iran. In fact I hinted toward the exact opposite. If it was too subtle, I will...

I am nearly certain that BP had signed deals in 2004 with Libya. As for intervention, I agree. I was just discussing with family that I have such admiration for people that are willing to step up in the face of tyranny, and say enough is enough. The country will be better for it if they can...

I believe that times have changed since then. I know that Panama was only 30 years ago, but even still, I feel that this is not something that will benefit the US if they were to go through with it.
