Thankfully, they are not always competent.
Big whoop, Iran has a used Russian Kilo
I think they do better in water....
I think they are doing it wrong.
When conflict comes Bandar Abbas will be a smoking ruin in short order.
How do they know which way to pray when they are under water?
What is the distance by water?
5 miles?
Q: How far can this sub take us?
A: All the way to the bottom.
Let’s not all jump to conclusions. Maybe the submarine was chasing a land shark.
They won’t be able to operate it within the gulf and will have to move it outside the gulf. And they will have zero idea how to operate it quietly and efficiently. All they will do is make noises like an old washing machine
It must be cheaper to take it to jiffy lube for an oil change
the dealership at the dry dock is way over priced
Let me guess, an old submarine that the Russians gave up? I get the feeling that unless our submarines had an incredibly incompetent crew, those Iranian subs won’t be much of a problem.
Midget submarines?! Don’t they mean “little people” submarines?
Only one way to find out...
Maybe it is one they ordered from the back of a comic book.
It is probably louder than a VIRGINIA Clas submarine while sunk and all systems disabled.
The Iranians forget to renew their AAA membership.
So now they just have to wait
I’m going to go right out on a limb, and saw it off. We all know that our achilles heel, aside from the communists/democrats in this country, would be an EMP attack. It’s been said that two airburst nukes, properly located, would destroy everything electrical in the US. So, the Iranians come up with a couple of cheap subs, jury rig a nuke on it, surface, and fire somewhere from out in the atlantic/pacific, such that they destroy our electrical grid.
It’s been estimated that such an EMP attack would kill 90% of Americans within a year. The premise is that our food distribution and entire transportation systems, as well as refrigeration, motor vehicles, and almost anything that we use now, would be junk. Never underestimate what your sworn adversary is up to. I’d keep a close eye on what happens with that sub, as the jury rigging may be what they’re up to, under cover of some large metal building. You’re really not paranoid if they are trying to kill you.
The Kilo is a reliable workhorse used by at least a dozen navies.
No doubt Iran could not keep it seaworthy.
