An Iranian warship accidentally fired a missile at a neighboring Iranian vessel during a naval exercise in the Gulf of Oman on May 10, killing at least 19 sailors and injuring 15 others others, the Iranian navy has said in a statement.

The Iranian frigate Jamaran—which is operated by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps ccidentally fired a new anti-ship missile onto Konarak, a logistical ship, during a live-fire exercise. ..The Konarak is a domestically made missile-launching support ship.

The missile from Jamaran was prematurely fired before the Konarak had moved far enough out of range, according to the news agency.

Somebody is going to get a poor officer efficiency report this year!

[polymuser]

Iran has an Erkel, too.

[ManHunter]

What a trage... Nah, never mind.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Oh sure, let’s let them have some nukes.

[bert]

Accidental?

No. The dead sailors were sacrificed to prove the lethality of the weapon.

[bert]

For those of us sight challenged

[Demiurge2]

The only surprise in this is that Iran didn’t try to claim it was a US attack.

[caww]

or that they’re afraid to say otherwise if it was..

[caww]

ROTFLOL!

[A Voice]

It’s only a matter of time.

Iran’s IRGC Accidentally Fires Missile Killing 19 During Naval Exercise, More Injured.....

It was only a few months ago they "accidentally" shot down an airliner.

Moral of the story: Never Give Complicated Weapons to Camel Jocks!

Not being familiar with naval training but when in the Army, many years ago in tank gunnery, we always used inert training rounds. Has anyone heard what kind of missile was fired?

[caww]

Looks pretty bad doesn’t it! 19 dead and 16 injured....whoever
mis-fired, and whoever failed to move the ship out of the line of fire, are in a heap of trouble...and then some.

[caww]

I recall reading our soldiers in m.e. wars how often those fighting them would just randomly fire without targeting just so it would be said they were fighting.

[hal ogen]

Is supposed to be sad or something?

[SunkenCiv]

Death to Am- hey, is that a missile coming right for u-

[kaboom!]

[snooter55]

“heh heh heh heh, he said prematurely fired” !!

Shut up Butthead . . .

[exinnj]

“The Konarak is a domestically made missile-launching support ship...”

As in “wind-powered fishing boat”...

[mowowie]

That stinks

The officer in charge was overheard to say, “Oops. My bad.”
