I would suspect they (Iran) would start with Iskander missile copies from the Russians. I can't see them not profiting from the trade to Russia for drones. Using known technology would go a long ways to help them to figure out how to make larger technologies work. Plus I wouldn't doubt that China has been helping them on the side.txags92 said:Given that Iran just got out from under sanctions on their ballistic missile programs and has been boasting about time running out for Israel, what are the chances these were intermediate range Iranian supplied BMs headed for Israel and the Carney was in the Red Sea shooting them down?jabberwalkie09 said:Bingo. If this occurred yesterday (as some sources are saying) there is no way we can't know where they were going at this point. IMO there is no way we don't know where these were going at this point. The report is reading as these missiles were a danger to our assets or assets we were protecting and those missiles were dealt with.Mathguy64 said:JobSecurity said:U.S. Navy Officials have now stated that Interception of Missiles launched from Yemen by the USS Carney occurred last night and that they were not Aimed at the Ship but in a Northward Direction.

That's a subtle distinction to let them off the hook.
You fired at us versus you fired in the direction we happened to be sailing in.
I don't think the Pentagon will actually give a response right now if these were targetted at our ships right now. If they were, expect strikes in Yemen in the somewhat near future. If they weren't, well I'd still expect some strikes to occur. We probably won't know for sure for awhile if ever.
