It turns out that Reuters, Al Jazeera, and a bunch of other so-called "journalists" are all just copying forwards directly from Pakistani military WhatsApp groups and posting them as news.
@Mr. Racewar1488 would never stoop to such trash reporting.

AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
I want you niggers to keep this shit in mind the next time you see "sources familiar with the matter" cited.
Straight up izzat-farming wishcasting parroted by retarded journoscum without a critical thought in their empty skulls. Day of the Rope cannot come soon enough.
Serious question, how much damage could one of those F-5s loaded with explosives and missiles do on a one-way trip to idk a US destroyer or an aircraft carrier (could they even get through the security screen)?
My recollection is that the F5 is a light fighter with a bomb load limited to one M118 750lb bomb. Missiles were 2 AIM7's and 2 AIM9B's, although I don't think it can carry the AIM7's and the M118 concurrently. Iran may have adapted it to carry other weapons, but there's not really anything they could do to increase the bomb load.
It also wasn't designed for ground attack and lacks any sort of advanced bomb sight or targeting system.
The F-5 was designed to be a dogfighter and can carry limited ordinance. It has two 20mm M39A cannons, not Vulcans like I stated before, and 7 hardpoints of which only three can carry fuel. And it'd need to carry a shit ton of fuel in order to reach our ships. Combat range is 150 miles at most with a full load but if it carried fuel on all three plumbed hardpoints and ordinance on the other four it could maybe get in range of our ships. Then it'd have to evade detection by the Hawkeyes and the radars on the destroyers which would be impossible unless the Ghost of Tehran is flying that thing at wavetop, which would cut substantially into the range. If it could evade all that there's still the F-35s and F-18s and the F-35 could pick it out even if the waves were lapping at the centerline fuel tank. Let's say the Ghost of Tehran evades all that, the last line of defense are the ship mounted AA missiles and finally the Phalanx. So no, even the venerable Ghost of Tehran would die 100+ miles away from the USS Abraham Lincoln.
Remember, the F-5 is small... Really small compared to modern fighters of any nation.
To add context to the excellent F-5 milsperg removing my need to double cover it:
The F-5 is basically a jumped-up trainer, a trainer you can take into combat. The role it was designed for was a "bargain fighter" for countries too poor to afford even the F-16. The F-5 then serves double duty as your nimble interceptor and your trainer.
Like the Yugoslav G-2/G-4
There is another "combat trainer" from the region that is popular with private operators, but I cannot remember the name.
Or the Czech L-39
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aero_L-39_Albatros
It has short range, minimal combat load. The only things it brings to the table are agility and low cost. Back when the F-5 was being sold and produced, maneuverability by itself was a viable missile defense, especially with flares/chaff. Terminal tracking radar was fairly narrow beam, and IR cameras were low-rez, you could get the missile to lose track of you, especially when you add in the F-5's small size, and missiles weren't very good at resuming lock once launched.
This is no longer true for modern missiles.
Basically you give it a couple air-to-air missiles, and hope for the best. You give it some guns so that it can go strafe medium and non-strategic heavy bombers.
The "Death to America" crowd is such whiny fucking pissbabies

Lol. That's pretty rich given the rhetoric Iran keeps pumping out.
"Please Trump saar, you are harming our izzat. The people might not believe we are in control if you keep threatening us on Trump Twitter"
With this new information, I have to retract my previous statements.
Trump's boomer tweets are no longer cringe they are extremely based because they are making the IRGC cry like little bitches.
"Which is why Trump cancelled the Islamabad talks and told the reporters to fly home."
Trump should sue the WSJ for libel. Again.

"US negotiators only laughed for 5 minutes solid instead of 10 minutes when the idea was floated; clearly the US is waivering and will soon capitulate to Iranian demands"
and Iran has been messaging that they won't actually engage in negotiations until the blockade is gone. They stated over and over before today that they weren't going to engage in negotiations with us in Islamabad and that if any of their officials even met with ours it would be just to restate their demands and intentions. Today's announcement from our side was just that we weren't going to fly to the other side of the globe for that.
That's a pretty big step down from refusing to negotiate until Israel removed as a state. Sounds like things are going in the right direction, we just need to turn up the pressure.
regarding the refusal for face-to-face negotiations "they can call us", I will try to contextualize just how bad of a humiliation this is for Iran.
Face to Face meetings are vital for low-trust camel fucking society. Having in person meetings shows you are important, and also shows you aren't completely lying about everything. Iran has been using US negotiations to farm huge amounts of internal izzat, by showing how the US sent the VP and they just sent a bunch of loser nobodies.
So by Trump telling them to call if they want to negotiate, they are being relegated to "worthless scrub" tier in Iranian society, not even worth an audience.
I have shares in a company that holds a position in the North Sea for oil, the UK government cancelled all new exploration and it's a fucking 78% tax on existing production.
The UK is truly a clown show.
Remember this is a nation screeching about how big a threat Russia is while after four years Euope still imports tens of billions of Russian oil and gas. and that's not counting the shit getting laundered through turkey.
The only way they can force renewables on the public is cut the oil and gas off at the knees. And the average leftist will lap it up like his boyfriends cum even if doubles their living expenses.
The sad thing is you don't have to. Things like Solar don't work so well when you have like 60 days of sun a year, but there is lots of smaller-scale hydroelectic and and tidal options available. But as a geographically stable island, nuclear should be an easy choice, except they let the communists convince them it was icky and only the USSR should be allowed to build them.
But if they don't do their renewables in the most absolutely retarded way possible, there isn't an opportunity for copious levels of turd-world tier grifting.
which is why they want to replace the population with sand monkeys, jeets, and niggers. The are from the the turd world so they aren't accustomed to the power grid being reliable, so they won't know any different when the electric goes out when the sun goes down, that's just more "Part and parcel" to the turd world mind.
This is all true. And Trump has also said that he's not taking the blockade down until Iran negotiates. So.... what's the plan? Either it's to break Iran with a siege or break iran with bomb and bridge day.
They just have to wait for summer. I've already posted you multiple paragraphs and provided you sources to how utterly fucked Iran is on water. If you're still too retarded to ingest that information, you should maybe stop trying to enter informed discussion.
Is Trump implying Bridge and Power Plant day will happen Sunday or Monday? A return to the previous bombings? An operation on the Kharg Islands?
Low chance on a sunday, zero chance on a monday. He's not goign to jitter an open market. Very likely next weekend now that we have our 3rd carrier on station and the Jews are rattling about Hezbollah's ceasefire violations.
I am waiting for the day Trump zigs instead of zagging. Like I think if Trump goes to war on China he'll go in on a monday because the chicoms will assume its a bluff and be caught off guard, but Iran isn't worth breaking your tell.
There's no fucking way a ship in the United States Navy has a galley ladleing out big dollops of hummus. Anyone who thinks you get in line for an hour and get served fucking hummus and don't wrap the cook up in chains and throw him overboard has never shit in a flush toilet.
Again, you msut remember the retard "just asking (retarded) questions" is a bong, and thus a couple ladels of orange, chunky hummus is exotic, high-end cuisine for him.
they arent flush toilets, they are suction powered, atleast the one on the ford is and thats why they keep breaking

some retarted nog prolly put his shirt down the shitter and backed up the whole system
Clearly everyone has been eating midrats hummus by the ladel. No waste handling system is ready for 5000 sailors unloading that much hummus.
I will not power level but this war is fucking up where I live pretty bad. The main thing is the worry of cooking gas Butane and the overall cost of international travel.
Unfortunately faggots like
@diroama for some reason aren't bringing that issue up. For a lack of a better term the Asian hemisphere is gonna start burning coal to cook food instead of Butane and its gonna suck.

Eurocucks aren't reliant on Iran Butane so I guess Diroama is turd word or Eurofaggot. Or maybe a Russian lover.
Worst than a Eurofag, a Bong. And also gargles Putin's balls which is why he's terminally butthurt over current events & the turd world being humbled.
