Accidental?

No. The dead sailors were sacrificed to prove the lethality of the weapon.

The only surprise in this is that Iran didn’t try to claim it was a US attack.

It was only a few months ago they "accidentally" shot down an airliner.

Moral of the story: Never Give Complicated Weapons to Camel Jocks!

Not being familiar with naval training but when in the Army, many years ago in tank gunnery, we always used inert training rounds. Has anyone heard what kind of missile was fired?

Looks pretty bad doesn’t it! 19 dead and 16 injured....whoever
mis-fired, and whoever failed to move the ship out of the line of fire, are in a heap of trouble...and then some.

I recall reading our soldiers in m.e. wars how often those fighting them would just randomly fire without targeting just so it would be said they were fighting.

“The Konarak is a domestically made missile-launching support ship...”

As in “wind-powered fishing boat”...

The officer in charge was overheard to say, “Oops. My bad.”
