...twenty-one sailors from the M/T Kokuka Courageous who had abandoned their ship after discovering a probable unexploded limpet mine on their hull...
At 4:10 p.m. local time an IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) Gashti Class patrol boat approached the M/T Kokuka Courageous and was observed and recorded removing the unexploded limpet mine from the M/T Kokuka Courageous (video attached).
The United States has no interest in engaging in a new conflict in the Middle East. However, we will defend our interests.

Have to trust the timeline I suppose. Shadow analysis etc would quickly expose a dawn/4pm error. So I’d say it’s legit.
Try recording a video from MILES AWAY sitting on a vibrating helo. Let us know how it looks.
Yep.
Do you get it AT ALL that the recording platform was MILES AWAY???
To be unseen and unheard? To get legit candid video?
Are you always this obtuse/dim?
Links? (Legit links.)
“are not considered effective at penetrating the inner hull”
LOL.
And your subject matter expert bona fides are????
Links please. (Legit. Not RT/UFO sites)

DNK, the mutual insurer that covered one of the ships damaged Thursday, will increase its rates for war insurance.
Thanks, looking.
Travis IS a retired SEAL, brother.
He speaks with quite a bit of authority on this.
In military systems for thermal targeting they use InGaAs detectors (3um - 5um), operation in daylight is not an issue.
Optical video is greatly affected by glint, some call that glare. Big problem over water.
I believe the surveillance platform was a P-8A Poseidon not a helo.
THAT....
....is a MASTERPIECE of a Mullet...
Worthy of MASSIVE respect.
It’s glorious.
Your insincere, “I would not want to be left with the impression that a modern day neo-Nazi is posting on FR.” is right up there with moose, cheese, and stunned beeber.
You appear to be someone who tries to smear people who disagree with you by trotting out a hackneyed trope.
I have no use for people who try to vilify other FReepers or sow division on FR. Have a nice weekend.
With hair like, I could - dare I say it - RULE the WORLD...
“...people who try to vilify other FReepers or sow division on FR. ....”
Happens a lot, brother.
Too much.
I don’t see how you couldn’t...
