      Well, let’s see if the Friday talks will go ahead after this. 🤔

      apparently It’s called a suicide drone because it’s the IRGC mean of suicide

      edit: guys, it was a pun

      Full story text:

      >Feb 3 (Reuters) – The U.S. military shot down on Tuesday an Iranian drone that approached the Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea, a U.S. official told Reuters on Tuesday.
      The Iranian Shahed-139 drone was flying towards the carrier and was shot down by a F-35 U.S. fighter jet.

      Edit: There isn’t a lot on the Shahed-139 online, but the Intl Institute for Strategic Studies [reported in 2023](https://www.iiss.org/online-analysis/military-balance/2023/11/far-from-museum-pieces-iranian-missile-munition-and-uav-ambition-on-display/) that it is the upgrade to the [Shahed-129](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shahed_129), meant to be comparable in role to MQ-1 predators.

      On top of trying to stop US tankers, they are also sending drones towards a US Carrier? It is almost like they don’t want to make it to the Friday talks.

      How do they now it was iranian?

      Sounds like something my ancestors did in poland with a radio station.

      Would not at all be surprised if it is Israel, sending an Iranian drone to kick things off. Certainly wouldn’t be the first time Israel attacked America.

      what ukraine and i believe Russia did recently was send lots of cheap drones to exhaust the very expensive defenses then send in the ones with bombs. the nature of warfare has changed a greater deal. i would be surprised if ships didn’t start staying far out at sea

      I would be very surprised if the drone got past the zone of defense far away from the carrier. Also don’t know why one of the destroyers didn’t get it and it had to be done by the carriers F-35. This is the literal job of the destroyers that surround the carrier.

      Loitering munitions? Or is this a normal intel drone? 139 is the kaboom drone right? I should know this i have a massive database but im too tired to check lol

      The only reason to mediatize that is the military (Hegseth)trying to pressurized the gov into action

      I always surprised how much the military is linked to media in US. For the better (build soft power) or the worse

      A single drone isn’t enough for a real attack or 3rd party false flag. That is a probing attack to test response times to do the math necessary to see if drone-swarming the carrier and sending it to the ocean floor is a realistic possibility with the resources available.

      Russian ships near shore have not fared so well in the Ukraine war, but it is an open question if drones can take down an advanced, powerful, and well-guarded target like a US aircraft carrier. Let’s hope, for everyone’s sake, that cooler heads prevail and no one tries to answer that question in the coming weeks.

      Note y’all, it was a surveillance drone, not a one way as we’ve seen being used by Russia in Ukraine. F-35 shot it down after attempting to have it divert course and deescalate as it was approaching the carrier. This was not a potential attack on a carrier, going off of known information.

      There was also an attempted boarding earlier today by IRGC gun boats towards a US flagged tanker in the Straight of Hormuz. It did not stop and met up with a USN boat for an escort. Two noticeable events leading up to ‚talks‘ on Friday.

      Curious casual person here: how is it known that Iran launched the drone? Did they acknowledge it was theirs? Not saying it isn’t; wondering how the identification process works. Is it stamped “IRAN” or have a flag painted on it?

      Iran has a death wish.. don’t try these games especially with trump in charge

    34. theswine76 on

      Well imagine that! What a coincidence. By Friday we’ll have a US attack on Iran in ‚ retaliation‘ for the ‚drone attack‘.

      More from Americans who are sick or wars in the MiddlenEast… Whatever Israel wants Israel gets tho.

      CNN: A peaceful good intentioned drone approached the occupational USS Abraham Lincoln. It was wrongfully attacked and genocided.

      Damn, it’s like JJ Abrams, not even writing anything new, just doing a Tonkin II.
