It’s hard to call this Shahid Mahdavi an Aircraft Carrier. It’s a converted cargo ship, that has space to launch quickly shot down drones. 14 years old technology isn’t that formidable.

When it gets blown in half, we’ll be hearing all these stories about the poor Iranian teenager sailors and how they never had a chance.

And they were making an emergency delivery of baby milk formula to an orphanage somewhere that Catholic Nuns requested.

Iranians are too smart to intervene directly for the Houthi. South Yemen is generally a sh!t show third-world failure, and has been for years.

Excerpts:

Fars said the 240-meter-long (787-foot) vessel is on a mission of an undisclosed nature, and referred to its voyage as a milestone, marking the first venture of an Iranian frigate below the equator.

The IRGC earlier this year fired long-range ballistic missiles from the carrier during a naval drill. The ship is outfitted with advanced radar and air defense systems, according to Fars.

Just another obsolete target like all Russian and U.S. ships when push comes to shove.

And how is everything obsolete?
