The armed forces are devolving rapidly
Of course not.
Last time I landed on a US Navy carrier, it did not have a bulls-eye painted in the middle of the flight deck or on either side hull plating.
Iran wants to have its pilots train by making bomb/gun runs on a realistic target.
No Mystery:
They just downloaded the plans to a 3D Printer, anyone can do it!
Do I need a /S tag!
Realistic target to dive airplanes into....
You think the kamikaze pilots would have been more effective with more than “one” diving attack to learn from?
Sure, the kamikaze pilots were (almost always) combat pilots (not one-flight rookies) but they had never been dive bombers before.
My boat yard also builds fiberglass Subs....
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narco-submarine
We call it the "Kilo Class"
Oh yeah, that’s a real puzzler — why would Iran want an exact replica to practice on? Hmm, that’s a head-scratcher alright. And note that the partisan media shilling pollutes “Stars and Stripes”:
> The continuing rapprochement between Iran and the United States and its Western allies has been highlighted by the interim nuclear deal reached last November by which Tehran agreed to halt certain nuclear activities in exchange for limited relief from sanctions.
Thanks Jet Jaguar.
Its for a new Iranian miliatry sit com.
CPO Mohammed.
Send in the frogmen. Sink it one minute after its set afloat!
They can lob missiles at in their own waters as they wish.
They can also practice landing drones (our design) on it.
I mean if you have captured stealth tech that doesn’t involve paint or skin radar absorbers but say laser destruction of radar pings, outfit a large drone with that, you could sneak a sizeable payload on said drone, and drop a dime on a carrier, or anything, for that matter.
“Wouldnt any potential boarding party have to run the gauntlet of the screen of accompanying ships that make up a carrier group?
Well, yes, not to mention that the flight deck is about 60 feet up off the water.”
Both irrelevant if its purpose is to be the target of a maneuverable ballistic missile.
had that model as a kid.
My guess is drone practice. If you have man guided missiles or drone, you need to know what they look like from altitude.
I know, I know.....but I am telling you what they are thinking.
Which is, of course, why the U.S. Navy is busy building a 2/3rd size mockup of the Chinese carrier to train it's pilots. </sarcasm>
There is no such thing. Ballistic missiles are, by definition, not maneuverable. If they're maneuverable, they're "guided".
Nope, first time around. Why do you ask? Do I resemble some former poster who questioned your genius on past threads?
