Those nose-mounted Gatling guns would make mincemeat of Iran's Bass Boat Navy in nothing flat! Ocean Skeet! Jerry Ignorance can be fixed. Stupid is forever!

But surely there is someplace close enough on land they could operate out of. Although I am sure our Navy and Marine aviators could quickly eliminate anything Iran could put in the air or on the water. People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

I was pleased that the A10 is being "updated" & will be around to help the next generation of GIs when they need them. yours, tex USA, Retired "VICTORY OR DEATH" William Barrett Travis, Lt.Col., comdt.

The landing gear and some internal construction on an aircraft that is designed to trap aboard ship is a good bit different. The older I become the more I am convinced that the voice of honor in a man's heart is the voice of GOD.

An incredible weapon! Don't be the darkness. America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.

Anti- drone technologies and tactics are probably out there already and might be revealed if this Iranian stupidity gets ant worse. PS Anyone remember when Obama delivered one of our drones to Ira---,I mean when the Iranians "captured" one of our drones and made it land on their field? Me solum relinquatis Molon Labe
