"Official" Thread Iran is lit - USA / Israel strike Iran 2/28/2026

Iran is running out of candidates for the job of Supreme Leader. A bunch of clerics (the "Assembly of Experts") were supposed to meet and select a new Ayatollah to lead in Qom. Israel bombed them. If they don't hustle up and get on with the business of surrendering, the "madi" might just come to fulfill prophesy and find nobody is left alive to lead.

We have B-52's overflying Iran. We own the airspace and Iran no longer has any means of defense. We might just prove the theories of Sir Arthur Harris and Curtis LeMay. If we actually manage to beat an enemy with airpower alone it will be one for the record books. It may be possible to do this without ever setting foot in Iran. Reduce the IRGC to a force armed with nothing beyond small arms, then flood the country with small arms so the Iranian people can take their revenge out on them. The Iranian people look like they are up to the task. Avoid the mistake of Iraq... we are not there to rebuild a country in our image, we are there to eliminate an enemy who has regularly targeted us. After that, it is up to them to clean up the rubble.

I have exactly zero sympathy for the people who make up the IRGC. They have been on a murder-spree since the late 1970's and have killed numerous Americans. They fund just about every murderous bunch of whack-jobs in existence.

As could be predicted, the whiny liberals and our enemies are complaining about the use of "lethality."

Here's what I told them:

The military exists to do ONLY TWO things:
1. Kill the enemy.
2. Blow up their shit.

That's it. So, yeah... lethality is the entire purpose of the military. It is their ONLY job. That has never changed.

The problem isn't that the term has only recently been popularized in the the public sector. The problem is that it has been culturally suppressed to appease and fool weak people for so long.
 
I believe the Assahollah's funeral will present a target-rich environment. I wonder if the US or Israel will be "attending"... :D

Have you guys seen the torpedo hit on the Iranian ship in the Indian Ocean? Holy crap.

I didn't even know they still put T-tubes in subs... 🤔 Well, I guess attack subs still have them?

All active US Navy submarines have torpedo tubes.

I asked Grok:

Do all us submarines have torpedo tubes?

No, not all current US Navy submarines have torpedo tubes, but the vast majority do, and all active classes are equipped with them for self-defense or other missions.The US Navy's submarine force (as of 2025–2026) consists entirely of nuclear-powered boats in four main classes:
  • Los Angeles-class (SSN-688) fast-attack submarines: These have four 21-inch torpedo tubes forward, capable of launching Mk 48 torpedoes (and also Tomahawk missiles in many hulls via torpedo tubes or vertical launch systems).
  • Seawolf-class (SSN-21) fast-attack submarines: These have eight torpedo tubes and can carry up to 50 weapons (primarily Mk 48 torpedoes, plus adaptable for Tomahawks).
  • Virginia-class (SSN-774) fast-attack submarines: These have four 21-inch torpedo tubes (Mk 48 torpedoes), plus vertical payload systems for missiles in later blocks.
  • Ohio-class: This includes 14 ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) and 4 guided-missile submarines (SSGNs converted from SSBNs). All 18 Ohio-class submarines have four 21-inch torpedo tubes forward for Mk 48 torpedoes (primarily for self-defense), in addition to their primary missile armament (Trident SLBMs for SSBNs or massive Tomahawk loads for SSGNs).
No current US Navy submarine lacks torpedo tubes. All active classes (Ohio, Los Angeles, Seawolf, and Virginia) include them as standard equipment. Older diesel-electric submarines (long retired) or research platforms like the former NR-1 lacked them, but the modern fleet is uniform in this regard.Torpedo tubes remain essential for anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, and (in attack boats) launching certain missiles, even as vertical launch systems handle much of the land-attack role.
 
Just a thought:
Go buy yourself some more ammo today "just in case". Particularly 9mm and 5.56...
