The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is preparing a military action against the US Navy.
The Associated Press reports.
Last month, the US Navy’s Nimitz-class aircraft carrier was at Iran’s disposal. It was built from wood by the forces of the Islamic republic. The model of the world’s largest warship in the world has been reproduced almost in full size. The length of the copy was about 200 meters, width – 50 meters, when the parameters of this vessel are 332.8 meters and 78 meters, respectively. Nevertheless, 16 mock-ups of fighters were even placed on the deck of the wooden aircraft carrier.
The copy was built with one purpose – to conduct exercises to destroy an American aircraft carrier. According to AP, now the model has been moved from the port of Bandar Abbas to the waters of the Strait of Hormuz. It is likely that it will soon be demonstratively destroyed as part of the IRGC’s military maneuvers.
It should be noted that this will not be the first such experience for the Iranian military. Five years ago, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps also used a mock-up of a US Navy aircraft carrier in maneuvers. The replica was successfully destroyed by surface-to-sea missiles.
