Yep, I'm calling BS on DUMBKA as usual here. Silkworm is a simply enormous missle and even if the warhead didn't detonate, at that range the fuel explosion would have vaporized the SAAR.

Would have blown the back half off the ship. The drone with 100# of HE is more believable.

DEBKA has been given a bad name by people misunderstanding what it is, and only remembering the times it was totally wrong. It is a RAW info and report site. The closer the story is to the ME, the more accurate it usually is. While it's good to take any new story with a grain of salt, DEBKA is as good as some MSM news sites (I guess thats not saying much)I am willing to bet that many will eat crow on this story, and that silkworms were fired at the warship. China and Iran do not want the sheeple to know how involved they are in this mess and some here have knee-jerk reactions on any DEBKA story. Flame away!
