A very violent way to deal with anti-ship missiles is to use short-range multi-barrel rapid-fire guns, such as the dense array and 730 guns in later generations. Anti-ship missiles can also be used to avoid them, which is to perform snake-shaped maneuvers at the end, and change the trajectory to prevent the opponent's dense firepower from keeping the changes in one's own changes.

Unfortunately, it can only be a performance now, because the Iranian warships are not prepared at all...

Only one person saw it, the Babul-class captain standing on the deck. When the anti-ship missile flew in the west, the captain's sight had already discovered the flying missile. Looking at the track with white smoke, the captain was full of doubts: Where did it fly from?

Until the captain reacted, he shouted: "Do not!"

As soon as the words were finished, the two missiles had already climbed up and then carried out a rapid dive attack. The sound of the missile dive slashing through the air stimulated the captain's eardrum.

Then, the missile hit the waterline on the port side of the Babur-class at an extremely high speed.

The semi-armor-piercing blasting warhead exploded violently inside after drilling into the steel plate on the port side of Babur.

Then, the second missile flew over again and hit the steel plate on the back of the port side.

The sea water began to pour into the Babur-class cabin and the hull began to gradually tilt.

The captain began to command the crew to carry out emergency rescue. At the same time, he also saw a scene that he could not forget. The other large warships were also shot and began to sink.

Rather than being bombed here tragically, it is better to go out and compete with the Iraqis once!

Although I don’t know who attacked me, the captain was very sure that he was definitely an Iraqi!

The Hawkeye Early Warning Plane in the sky, after watching this scene, the lights on the radar screen hit the warships in the Iranian Chakhbahar port, and the Iraqis. Sure enough, they already had anti-ship missiles with a range of 100 kilometers!

After several hours of rescue, several warships still sank. The pride of the Iranian Navy. Two destroyers with a displacement of 3,000 tons. One light frigate with a displacement of 1,000 tons each sank into the water after two anti-ship missiles were each hit. Only one supply ship next to it was still struggling to hold on. It only caught one missile and the other missile was knocked away.

This sudden attack caused the large Iranian ships to ashes. The news reached Tehran,

After receiving the news, Rafsanjani was shocked.

Today, during the ground battle, the Iranians have been retreating. In the south, almost the entire Kuzestan province has been occupied by Iraqi troops, and in the north, the Iraqi attacks are also fierce. In order to fight the fierce offensive of the Iraqi people, under the instructions of the supreme leader, they launched a ship-raid battle in the Strait of Hormuz, hoping to attack passing ships to attack Iraq and other Middle East countries that support Iraq. However, now, the effect is not very good.

Their weapon is the silkworm missile imported from China. However, after the first batch of these missiles were used, China temporarily stopped selling them under the pressure of world public opinion.

In this way, Iran's top secret weapons would be gone, and an subsequent air raid by the Iraqi Air Force destroyed all the only sets of Iran's launch devices.

So, Iran can only think of other methods because, they have other sellers, such as those who can obtain this kind of missile from North Korea!

Iran is currently trying every means to regain this weapon. At the same time, it is also studying new tactics, such as using small boats and using attack tactics similar to pirates. It achieved good results during the first attack, and some are similar to the German wolf pack tactics in World War II. It has a high success rate of besieging slow-moving ships without weapons and equipment.

However, now those Arab countries have united to escort those ships, and Iraq has even arranged several armed personnel on each cargo ship. They will use various weapons to attack the speedboats that are flying, and the results of the speedboat attacks have begun to decrease.

The Arabs carried out exercises in the Gulf of Oman with great might, and they also held back, and let their fleet stay honestly and did not provoke each other.

However, these Arabs were very shameless and took the initiative to bomb their own port base!

Although there is no complete evidence so far, it was done by the escort formation exercise, but apart from them, there is absolutely no second object to be found.

The Phantom F1 was launched at a distance of 100 kilometers and flew at an ultra-low altitude. So until now, the port was attacked, and they had no definite evidence. The evidence was the US Navy's early warning aircraft, but unfortunately they would definitely not provide it.

It doesn't matter whether there is evidence or not, as long as there is a motivation.

Except for Iraq, other countries have not been directly enemies with Iran so far, so it must be done by the Iraqis!

The port base was attacked and all the large warships were destroyed. This blow was really too big. Can the supreme spiritual leader bear it?

Rafsanjani came to Koum to meet with the Supreme Spiritual Leader.

Jane's Defense Weekly once commented, praising Iraq's air strikes on Qom, and said that the Supreme Spiritual Leader also died in the air strikes, but later, it was found that it was just a misjudgment that the Supreme Leader had a bomb in his house, but the Supreme Leader was unscathed.

This is just physical insecurity, and in spirit, the supreme leader has always been bad.

Following Rafsanjani, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Navy was also Ali.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard has always been the most trusted armed force Khomeini has. This force now has a navy, which is the armed speedboat.

Moreover, when Iran's economy improves in the future, the new warships will definitely be equipped with the new Islamic Revolutionary Guard Navy.

"Hello, great spiritual leader, Allah will always guide the great Iranian people!" Ali looked a little excited when he saw Khomeini.

"Hello leader," said Rafsanjani.

Khomeini nodded: "This time, it's our operation to block the Strait of Hormuz. Is there something wrong with the cargo ships?"

Khomeini already knew that with the beginning of the Arab escort operation, their attacks were very passive.

"Although it's very difficult, we've been persisting." Ali said: "We will definitely complete any task assigned by the leader!"

Seeing the fanatical Ali, the flames in Khomeini's heart began to ignite again. With these people who believe in themselves, Iran will definitely not collapse!

"There is something wrong with our escort operation, but, more seriously, Iraq took advantage of the opportunity of the Gulf of Oman exercise and sneaked into our Chakhbahar port base, and several of our large warships had all sunk," said Rafsanjani.

What? Khomeini was also very surprised when he heard this news. Those warships were still far away from the other party's exercise area, so how could they be suddenly attacked?

"It should be that the Iraqis used low-altitude flights and then attacked us with long-range missiles. This Iraqi was the best. When we attacked us the previous few times, we used long-range missiles as the first wave of attacks." Rafsanjani said: "Our naval ships had no reaction at all and were already sunk."

Thinking of the blow that Qom suffered, Khomeini clenched his fist. Iraq actually ran to the port of Chakhbahar, more than a thousand kilometers away from their territory, and sank several of its warships. This was a shame for the Iranian Navy!

We must come up with a practical solution, otherwise, not only in land failures, but also in seas, Iran will lose all its advantages. In fact, Iran has no advantages now.

"When will our anti-ship missile arrive?" Khomeini asked.

"There is no definite news yet, and it is expected to take several months." Rafsanjani said. North Korea may have just begun to imitate this missile and export it to Iran. It will take at least a few months. If it is too much, it will probably take one or two years.

"We invest more boats and conduct large-scale assaults on the merchant ships coming and going at night!" Khomeini said.

"Great leader, I have a better idea." Ali said suddenly.

A better idea? Khomeini looked at Ali, hoping that some words would come out of his mouth to make him happy.

Rafsanjani was the same. Looking at Ali, this guy didn't even talk to him, and came to the leader to show off. This kind of atmosphere would never be encouraged!

"We want to block the Strait of Hormuz, just use a few mine-burning boats from our navy to arrange mines throughout the channel," Ali said.

Mine? Khomeini and Rafsanjani both had their eyes lit up.

Mine is an ancient underwater weapon, an explosive device placed in the water against ships or submarines. It is pre-cast in the water like a landmine, causing an explosion when the ship approaches or contacts. Mine can block enemy ports or waterways during attack and limit the movement of enemy ships; in defense, it can protect the channel and ships of their own side and create safe areas for them.

Moreover, more importantly, the low cost and ease of laying mines make it a weapon often used in asymmetric wars. Generally speaking, the cost of removing mines is 10 to 200 times that of laying them. So until now, some mines laid during World War II have not been removed due to cost reasons.

These advantages of mines have made it a weapon for poor countries. Iran originally disdained to use this kind of thing, but now, when Ali mentioned it, Khomeini and Rafsanjani were both moved. To be continued...
