All they have to do is periodically launch a drone or missile from one of them at a ship in the strait and it’s locked down.

And by the time your magic radar locates the makeshift launch site and retaliates they are long gone.

“And by the time your magic radar locates the makeshift launch site and retaliates they are long gone.”

The radar cited is for distances such as five miles.

One radar might be used to help coordinate defensive killer drones.

Other systems mounted in helicopters might be used to hunt Iranian speedboats that dare venture out.

War is an elaborate game. Sometimes, as in Jordan and with the F-15E, the US can suffer losses.

The US military is very good at war.

Putin’s war dead ~200,000
Trump’s war dead 15

there should be a way to measure the. effectiveness of the air strikes around the gulf.

have the number of iranian attacks gone up , down, or remained constant per whatever unit of time or negotiation.

I never hear those stats.

The only time we heard stats were at the start of the war when they said they had degraded 85-90 percent of Iran’s capabilities.

Since then no stats.
I don’t hear those stats.

That said it would make perfect sense for the trump team to completely eliminate iranian ability to disrupt gulf traffic with no negotiations until that is accomplished. so the Iranians have no ability to renenge on their committments and the country can be allowed to bleed out without further interventions while the blockade on shipments to and from iran was maintained and rail and road lines to central asia were cut.

then basically, the world could forget iran.
