The hysteria is overdone. War games bind blue force hand and foot, give red force superhero abilities.

And are you familiar with with distinction between paper war games, and a real submarine, really penetrating a real anti submarine screen, to get a firing solution on a real aircraft carrier?

The Iranian Navy is familiar with it, couldn’t land a blow while its Holy of Holies, its nuclear program, turned to rubble.

If it’s anything like the exercises I participated in - yes; bound hand and foot. The red team was supposed to locate and “bomb” our position…..when they couldn’t find us, we had to change our camouflage to contrast with the snow. An entire company was marched out into an open snow covered field and the red team flew over us. Surprise, surprise they “killed” a whole company of Marines. We just so happened to have no air support, no anti-aircraft capability, etc…..with a dead company, the BN had difficulty hitting the next objective. The upside - we flipped off the pilots as they flew over.

And did this Swedish submarine "sink" our carrier in a real situation, or in a war game where we weren't allowed to use most of our asw capabilities?
