"According to CNN, U.S. defense officials claim that the drone was disabled not by bullets or missiles (“kinetics,” in the jargon), but rather by jamming. Specifically, it was almost certainly jamming via MRZR LMADIS, or a Polaris MRZR vehicle sporting a Light Marine Air Defense Integrated System. While a Corps official said as early as May that the deployment of the system to the Middle East was winding down, observers online noted that a MRZR LMADIS system was visible on the deck of the USS Boxer, an amphibious assault ship, for its transit through the Strait of Hormuz — a presence revealed in pictures uploaded earlier that day."
I was hoping more for two bubbas hanging out the side of a Seahawk shooting it down with Remington Wingmasters...PULL!Originally Posted by Chance

Waiting for the SAS guy from Kenya to storm that ship and sort shit out...
“Conspiracy theories are just spoiler alerts these days.”
From BBC News:
A British-flagged oil tanker has been seized in the Gulf by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Iran media say.
The owners of the Stena Impero, which was bound for Saudi Arabia, say they have been unable to contact the vessel and it is "heading north towards Iran".
The company says there are 23 personnel on board and it was approached by "unidentified small crafts and a helicopter" in the Strait of Hormuz.
The Foreign Office is "urgently" looking into the reports.
The government's emergency committee, Cobra, is meeting in Whitehall to discuss the incident.

A quick internet search on current seapower shows that the British fleet is a mere shadow of its former self. Another example of Europe banking on the "peace dividend" after the end of the Cold War and depending on their Ally to do the heavy lifting.
Do they have any carriers?
Two British Flagged vessels now
