IRAN NAYY WILL DESTROY U.S.A. CARRIER FLEET USING C802 (NOOR) ANTISHIP MISSILE

http://www.jeff-goodall.com/?p=1740 ------------------ there is no way that the US could actually invade Iran.

There are some 80 million people in Iran and, although many of them don't like the present regime, they are almost all fervent patriots who would resist a foreign invasion.

Iran is a mountainous country and big: four times the size of Iraq.

The Iranian army currently numbers about 450,000 men, slightly smaller than the US Army -- but unlike the US Army, it does not have its troops scattered across literally dozens of countries.

If the White House were to propose anything larger than minor military incursions along Iran's south coast, senior American generals would resign in protest.

Without the option of a land war, the only lever the US would have on Iranian policy is the threat of yet more bombs -- but if they aren't nuclear, then they aren't very persuasive. Whereas Iran would have lots of options for bringing pressure on the US.

Just stopping Iran's oil exports would drive the oil price sky-high in a tight market. Iran accounts for about 7 per cent of internationally traded oil.

But it could also block another 40 per cent of global oil exports just by sinking tankers coming from Iraq, Saudi Arabia and the other Arab Gulf states with its lethal Noor anti-ship missiles.

The Noor anti-ship missile is a locally built version of the Chinese YJ-82. It has a 200km range, enough to cover all the major choke points in the Gulf. It flies at twice the speed of sound just metres above the sea's surface and has a tiny radar profile. Its single-shot kill probability has been put as high as 98 per cent.

Iran's mountainous coastline extends along the whole northern side of the Gulf and these missiles have easily concealed mobile launchers. They would sink tankers with ease and, in a few days, insurance rates for tankers planning to enter the Gulf would become prohibitive, effectively shutting down the region's oil exports completely.

Meanwhile, Iran would start supplying modern surface-to-air missiles to the Taleban in Afghanistan and that would soon shut down the US military effort there. (It was the arrival of US-supplied Stinger missiles in Afghanistan in the late 1980s that drove Russian helicopters from the sky and ultimately doomed the whole Soviet intervention there.)

Iranian ballistic missiles would strike US bases on the southern (Arab) side of the Gulf and Iran's Hizbollah allies in Beirut would start dropping missiles on Israel.

The US would have no options for escalation other than the nuclear one, and pressure on it to stop the war would mount by the day as the world's industries and transport ground to a halt.

The end would be an embarrassing retreat by the US and the definitive establishment of Iran as the dominant power of the Gulf region. That was the outcome of every war-game the Pentagon played and Mike Mullen knows it.

To the PERSON WHO UPLOADED VIDEO.If iran blocks oil production to world & sinks merchant ships it would justify an invasion into your crappy iran country. also american military generals resigning, most U.S hate iran & would like to get a peace of them. Also you claim america's army is spread among world, 500k of army troops but you forgot the marines, navy, airforce. & U.S troops are real soldiers.look what happen to Iraq the 1st time we warred them we took half their army with just air power

[MrSavetherepublic]

Why does everyone want WWIII? Can't we all just get along?

@MrBlaine1988 Isreali supporters are brainwashed.

@HearingLossProvider Well you better get the warmest coat you can find then.

@gamerman1023 Iran has been building the SS-N-22 domestically since the mid 2000s under license. The Phalanx's capabilities can only allow it to counter sub sonic, non maneuvering threats which include weapons like the Silkworm or the Exocet. It cannot effectively counter the C-802 or the more advanced Iranian built versions like the Ghadar which are supersonic. That besides the IRGCs asymmetric warfare tactics that included saturation attacks to overwhelm a fleet's defenses.

[gamerman1023]

@IAmOpenMinded actually I have heard of the SS-N-22. I was merely commenting on the Phalanx's ability to counter an attack by a C-802 NOOR Anti-Ship Missile. The only countries that actually have the SS-N-22 are Russia, China, and India, so Iran would have to buy some in order to use them. Besides a missile like the SS-N-22 cannot instantly go from 0 to Mach 3 just seconds after launch, its speed is built up over time during flight.

[HearingLossProvider]

@IAmOpenMinded it'll be a cold day in hell before those shitheads even come close to scoring a victory over the United States.

[IAmOpenMinded]

@gamerman1023 It seems you have never heard of the SS-N-22 Sunburn ASCM. It's terminal speed is near mach 3, and has the ability to perform evasive maneuvers if any radar illuminates it. By the time the Phalanx's acquisition radar has even detected it, and attempts to lock on, the ship would be hit.

[IAmOpenMinded]

Well, well. As usual, we have the plethora of "arm chair generals" posting their regurgitated garbage. America might start the war, but the Iranians will FINISH IT! And if any of you are so sure that we'll prevail against Iran, I challenge you to enlist immediately, and ask to be deployed to the Persian Gulf. I believe the view of incoming Iranian cruise, and ballistic missiles will be much better over there, and more REALISTIC than watching the "sanitized version" on CNN, and Fox. LOL!

[fockya]

Tomorrow there supposed to be an attack on a US ship and Iran will be to blame, lets see if it happens. Anyways, this is all one big fear mongering bullshit shit

[bmostafavi]

Iran's Navy couldn't even shoot down a cripple fly.
