An Iranian drone flew over the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) in an unsafe manner, Central Command said in a Wednesday statement.
The Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group was conducting routine flight operations in the Central Arabian Gulf Tuesday when it spotted a drone later identified as Iranian. At one point, the drone got within 1,500 yards of Dwight D. Eisenhower, according to a Central Command release.
Stop talking and down them. Quit being pussies!
Not shooting it down shows great weakness.
Did they let if fly by the carrier or did they not initially catch it?
Either way, just more proof showing the worlds tyrants that we are nothing more than a paper tiger.
So they didn’t shoot down the drone? This is like the Chinese spy balloons all over again
Admiral and Captain fired yet? Walk the plank!
Not shooting it down shows great weakness.“
Sure does. Should have shot it on the first alert. Woke children running the military.
Houthis need to be stomped-on
Seems every day they’re deliberately trying to attack American targets, but there’s never any retaliation?
what the ??
At 1500 yards, it was well with the range of Phalanx.
It’s the O-Biden affect. Working with the enemies that want to destroy us.
But harsh warlike stuff will be talked about on The View if the US responds to Iranian, Chinese or Hamas taunts./S
Would be better to keep them out of there. Why? Burning millions. Risking instability. Bring them effing home.
Time to face reality. The era of naval surface combatants in this modern technological era of stealth and pin point guidance is over. Armored land vehicles are obsolete as well.

So which is it? Did it fly over the ship, or was it flying more than a mile away from it?
This took place in international waters. A U.S. aircraft carrier has no more right to be there than an Iranian drone.
unsafe, only in that it got that close...
"The drone ignored multiple warnings"
LOL
Hi.
Imho, Nantez and Bushir need to disappear.
5.56mm
Did the Eisenhower crew wave and then face Mecca?
Were the kneeling rugs broken out?
This navy is a joke...
...the drone got within 1,500 yards of Dwight D. Eisenhower...or was it flying more than a mile away from it?
1500 yards=.85 miles
