Today we ask the question whether a US aerial strike could wipe out the entire Iranian Navy in a single day. We start with a flight of F-35 Lightning 5th Gen jets with AGM-158C LRASM anti-ship missiles, then send in the FA-18, F-16 and F-15E jets to finish up.

VIEWERS just so you know why I was so pssed off when making this video:
1) We only get a 2 hour window to film these WarGames, when I can get all of the boys together.
2) Google Drive packed up so I couldn't get latest version of a mod to the boys, which ate up 30 minutes.
3) When we did get going, the Sweden server packed up 15 minutes into the mission and never came back online.
4) Went to PLAN B and I hosted a server, which immediately crashed and put us all back to square 1.
5) Went to PLAN C and used the Japan server.
6) Finally got mission going 70 minutes late and made it to combat area. Mine and Simba's F-15E proceded to get bugged/desynced so that neither of us could guide bombs onto target.
7) For the guys that could guide the bombs to target, when I viewed the bombs they de-synced so it appears that they missed the targets.
8) When guys finally did find a way of getting bombs onto the targets, each 500lbs GBU-12 direct hit only did 15% damage to a 1500ton Caslte Class Patrol Boat.
9) At that point we ran out of time, and that was all I could handle.
My suggestion is based on comments from a Royal Navy FB group. They are continually posting that in the 50s and 60s Britain had a "real navy". My question is: could the modern British navy defeat the 1950s or 1960s navy given their larger size? Probably impossible to model the entire navies, but maybe representative samples?
Yes
CAN IRAN DESTROY ALL US SHIPS IN GULF OF OMAN AND PERSIAN GULF?
Yes, yes it can
toyota hilux patrol boats, nice
In your dreams and simulation games, yes, but in reality never.
um , yes
They already did..
Iran haven't learn when they raised gas prices in the 80s huh 😂😂😂😂😂
They did it once.
A US Navy battle group could destroy the entire Iranian navy in about 1/2 hour.
I doubt it.
USA! USA! USA! Oh fuck, the server's down.
it depends on the scenario . if they had a stock pile of missiles and/or long range drones inland and air support some where in the middle of the bombardment.
1 send in thousands of drones . as the us air force uses up munitions on drone . it would be
2 time to shoot your missile with your stream of drones then
3 send in your air force to intercept
4 move in with special forces
5 use regular to take the forest and dig in. cover themself in anti thermal materials before
6 moving in underground and trenches in the forest/jungle
that is if it came to conflict before that
i would bribe them
i would accuse their politicians of taking bribes from the uk and us .
i would increase food output to give to the people . while i created things like fresh water ,clean power(like my electric generator), cpu chips for electronic , build homes and build school as their would be no need to struggle to live.
"could" , they already destroyed 80% of irans navy in 14 hours in operation praying mantis
Why would their navy leave their Sam coverage?
If really wanted to with out the politic . If not one day but two ya .
This is what 50 year old aussie or english virgins do?
I feel like we’ve done something like this… in the 80s or something
Didn't they already do that in a few hours once 😂
Did the Iranians not have any fleet defense?
These middles came in without any defensive fire, unopposed.
Is that really legit?
Honest question. Call me ignorant but seems unbelievable that Iranians don’t possess some version of CIWS and/or C-RAM.
I really enjoy your videos I do believe you have an f-18 or f-15 absolutely beautiful plane. Even though they are they are still sexy however I do like the F-22 and the f-35 they are downright sexy. But even today America has at least five or six in the top 10 fighter jets today. If you looked looked at the best fighter jets of all time we would probably have 8 of 10. Cuz I would say the A-10 and at least one or two others plus the f-15 F-16 f-18 F-22 and f-35 and all of them in multiple variations. If there's one thing that America does right it is build fighter jets while Russia and China both would be lucky to call theirs 4 1/2 gen. While we already know the F-22 and f-35 are full 5th get. And compared to Russia and China's so-called 5th gen they could be considered 6rh gen. Anyway love your videos I'm sure it takes a long time edited and finished so much love and respect.
maybe a week if bidens not prez
I don’t think I need to watch this video; I can save you some time…
Yes.
Likely not one day. Some could hide out for "a while".
Totally & Also Have Air Superiority Dominance 💯
You guys are all idiots. The US got beat by Afghanistan….
The “millennial challenge” is the world’s most expensive simulation in which iran beats the US.
You guys are silly talking about all these lasers. Americans would get slaughtered in Iran
Yes. A couple of times.
Wasn't Dick Cheney quoted one time as saying we could take out all millitary targets in 8 minutes without nukes?
The Iranians have S300 and S400 air defence and russian costal defence systems..
Iran has been allied with russian for 30 years + and have modern air defence.
Anyone who thinks this is realistic is foolish and niave.
A modern warship will have cwis or AK630 defence. Lol
https://youtu.be/Pk43Uqd4uh4?si=r_J5GvfwdBSTf-sn
The WWII japanese navy put up more of a defence then this so-called modern situation.
Serously reapers.
Do you really think this is realistic in any way shape or form.
SA-6 Surface to Air missile 6 is garbage.
This looks really cool! What’s the name of this? Is it a game or or some type of simulator
Love your videos
Possibly, but not before their carrier groups get nuked out of existence. They are obsolete for anything but bullying tiny nations, NATO just don't seem to understand it yet. The subs are a different story. You can't conquer a country with ships, it's moot.
LRGASM
"What's tha't?"
"Anti-surface missile"
"What that do?"
"Deletes the fucking GROUND"
Watched on tv when Reagan ordered Operation Mantis and bludgeoned the Iranian navy in a matter of hours
It's even funnier the second time!
