Iran Attack Boats SWARMED USS Abraham Lincoln at Full Speed — Then The US Response SHOCKED Everyone

Описание: At exactly 05:17 in the Strait of Hormuz, 23 Iranian speedboats made a $5 million miscalculation. Revolutionary Guard fast attack craft charged the USS Abraham Lincoln at 60+ knots in a coordinated swarm attack, believing speed and numbers would overwhelm American defenses. What happened in the next 97 seconds reveals why challenging carrier strike groups with $400,000 speedboats against autonomous weapon systems costs more than Iran’s entire swarm tactic investment—and why $20,000 in American ammunition destroyed $1.2 million in Iranian boats without the carrier changing course.

This is the untold story of how Iran’s 23-boat swarm attack was systematically dismantled by layered carrier strike group defenses, demonstrating why asymmetric speedboat tactics fail against Phalanx CIWS autonomous engagement systems, MH-60R Seahawk helicopters, and Mk 38 Bushmaster chain guns. You’ll discover why the Phalanx Block 1B fired 137 rounds in 4 seconds disintegrating a speedboat before crews could react, how 3 Iranian boats were disabled in 97 seconds for $20,000 in ammunition expenditure versus $5 million in Iranian operational and hardware losses, and why USS Abraham Lincoln maintained unchanged course throughout the engagement treating aggressive swarm tactics with complete tactical indifference.

Inside this military documentary analysis:
• Iranian Revolutionary Guard swarm tactics using Boghammar and Seraj-class fast attack craft
• Phalanx CIWS Block 1B autonomous engagement: 4,500 rounds/minute tungsten penetrators
• MH-60R Seahawk helicopter M240 door gun precision fire against speedboat targets
• USS Sirocco Cyclone-class patrol boat Mk 38 Bushmaster 25mm chain gun engagement
• Real cost analysis: $20,000 US ammunition vs $5 million Iranian losses including intelligence exposure
• Why 20mm tungsten rounds disintegrate fiberglass hulls in under 4 seconds
• How layered defense (destroyers, helicopters, patrol boats) defeats numerical superiority
• Forward-looking infrared sensors enabling surface mode engagement against wave-top threats

Technical Systems Covered:
• Phalanx CIWS Block 1B: M61 Vulcan 6-barrel Gatling gun, autonomous tracking radar
• Seraj-class speedboat: twin diesel engines, 85-knot capability, $400,000 unit cost
• MH-60R Seahawk: AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, M240 7.62mm door guns
• Mk 38 Mod 2 Bushmaster: M242 25mm chain gun, 200 rounds/minute
• AN/SPY-1D phased array radar tracking 23 simultaneous surface contacts
• Cyclone-class patrol boat rapid intercept capabilities

This engagement proves swarm tactics fail when defenders possess autonomous systems tracking all threats simultaneously while engaging closest targets without human hesitation. Iran’s 23-boat coordinated attack split into three groups targeting carrier and escorts—but Phalanx CIWS engaged autonomously at 1,800 yards with 75 rounds per second, Seahawks provided aerial precision fire, and Cyclone-class patrol boats intercepted runners with 25mm chain guns, creating layered defense where every threat vector was covered and every gap filled.

Learn why the 97-second engagement destroyed 3 speedboats for $20,000 while Iran spent $5 million including fuel, operations, hardware losses, and exposed tactical doctrine, how Phalanx Block 1B forward-looking infrared sensors revolutionized surface mode capability against Revolutionary Guard speedboats, why 20mm tungsten penetrators shred fiberglass hulls rather than punch holes, and how USS Abraham Lincoln’s unchanged course demonstrated complete tactical indifference to 23-boat swarm attack.
