“Late in the day, the Iranian frigate Sabalan departed from its berth and fired a surface-to-air missile at several A-6Es from VA-95. The A-6Es then dropped a Mark 82 laser-guided bomb into Sabalan’s stack, crippling the ship and leaving it burning.”
One plane, one bomb took out a frigate in 1988. That’s almost
30 years ago. Today I think its all just for show. I don’t think
we even need to be in theater anymore. We can do most of it
with drones.
That was a great story. Thanks for the link.
