According to a number of ** reports, when the US aircraft carrier "Eisenhower" entered the Persian Gulf in recent days, it was approached by Iranian drones to a distance of 1,372 meters. The move sparked concerns and accusations in the United States. The Iranian drone flies at a very low altitude, leading to speculation about how far it is from the aircraft carrier. At the same time, the United States has also put forward clear requirements that Iranian drones must be at a distance of 18 from the aircraft carrierFly over distances of 5 km. This distance is far from what the United States demands, and it has aroused dissatisfaction and vigilance in the United States.
The unsafe and threatening nature of Iran's drone flight activities has also become the focus of US accusations. In the past, the United States has often accused other countries of being close to its own distance by aircraft and ships, but this time the United States was cornered by Iranian drones. This time, the voice of the US accusations is familiar and sharp, accusing Iran of acting unprofessionally and unsafely, and is an extremely dangerous manifestation. However, the United States has never publicly stated that it is conducting operations before, and if it is not for the so-called "free flight" or "free flight" operations in other countries and the preparation for cruises, then how can there be a problem of Iranian drones approaching?This time, Iran showed a high degree of vigilance against the activities of the American aircraft carrier and showed tremendous military pressure. In fact, Iranian drones are only the tip of the iceberg. Over the years, thanks to the "help" of the United States, Iranian drones have developed rapidly. Whether stealthy or non-stealthy, whether it is a strategic version of the Global Hawk or a catch-all Reaper drone, Iran has made significant progress. In addition, Iran has developed a number of types of UAVs, including reconnaissance drones. The various flight activities carried out by the United States around Iran have undoubtedly given Iran the opportunity and motivation to develop unmanned aerial vehicles.
The entry of the US aircraft carrier USS Eisenhower into the Persian Gulf has raised a series of questions and reflections. The small sea area in the Persian Gulf region limits the space for the actions of the formations, which allows Iran to carry out various strike operations in this area. Iran's previous series of swarm attack tactics took advantage of the characteristics of fast speed and small size, coupled with the equipment of rockets, which allowed Iran to carry out effective attack operations. Compared to activities in the Persian Gulf, the maneuverability of American aircraft carriers is undoubtedly limited.
The waters in the Persian Gulf are not large, so Iran does not need high-end equipment for various strikes. For example, in the swarm attack tactics used by Iran in the past, some yachts were purchased from European and American countries, and these yachts were fast and small, and they only needed to be equipped with rockets to effectively attack. Iran's various attacks in the Persian Gulf region have an advantage over large aircraft carriers.
In addition, the entry of American aircraft carriers into the Persian Gulf provoked reflections on some of Iran's technological developments. Iran has built a cement ship as an aircraft carrier and demonstrated a collective attack, which showed that Iran was able to hit its target with precision. Such a performance makes it possible for Iran to conduct more research and development on large aircraft carrier technology. Iran, while demonstrating its drones, is also demonstrating its own great progress in carrier-based aircraft deck technology. As can be seen from the shape of the waves, the USS Eisenhower is moving forward, and Iranian drones are not far behind, and this technological progress is remarkable.
The actions of the US aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf make people wonder whether the strategic deployment of the US military is too aggressive. Calculated by the attack radius of cruise missiles and carrier-based aircraft, activity in the Arabian Sea is enough to pose a threat to Iran. However, the United States prefers to deploy aircraft carriers to the Persian Gulf, which is equivalent to putting itself in the most comfortable position for Iran. The relatively small sea area of the Persian Gulf is not conducive to the deployment of US formations, and also poses a challenge to the multi-level offensive and defensive system of US aircraft carriers.
Attacks on aircraft carriers of major powers are not an easy task, and the United States designed against the Soviet Union during the Cold War and strategically thought about China accordingly. However, in the face of Iran's intensive attacks, which have no rules, no tactics, and no unified action, the United States may not have found a good way. This attack reminds the United States of a disturbing incident in which Hamas fired more than 5,000 rockets at Israel. Even Israel's elaborate "Iron Dome" air defense system has slipped through the net and suffered a fatal blow. In the Persian Gulf, Iran's swarm attacks in dense boats are also characterized by no blind spots and all-round characteristics. In this case, the United States may face another Waterloo in the Persian Gulf.
As can be seen from the incident with the approach of Iranian drones to American aircraft carriers, the distance of 1372 meters gives the United States a sense of Iran's military capabilities and exudes a dangerous aura. However, the incident also sparked anxiety and reflection. Whether the United States is reckless in its strategic deployment, whether the situation in the Persian Gulf is conducive to Iran's actual strike capability, and how the United States can effectively respond to Iran's attacks are all worthy of attention and in-depth consideration. In any case, the development and progress of Iranian UAVs are inseparable from the help of the United States and Western countries. Whether it is material structure, technology, power technology, or reconnaissance equipment such as sensors and cameras, many of them are provided by the United States. Thus, the UAVs presented by Iran are also similar to those of the United States, both large and medium. Iran's drones have advanced so rapidly thanks to the support of the United States and Western countries.
In Iran's counterattack, the appearance of American aircraft carriers also raised attention to the possible development of large aircraft carrier technology in Iran. Iran has built cement aircraft carriers and conducted demonstrations of collective attacks, which have shown that Iran is capable of hitting targets. Such a performance makes it possible for Iran to further develop large aircraft carriers. In general, Iran has a certain advantage in the Persian Gulf, while the deployment of American aircraft carriers may be too aggressive. Iran's strikes in the Persian Gulf do not require high-end equipment, and U.S. aircraft carriers are limited by the narrow sea area of the Persian Gulf and lack an effective response to Iran's intensive small-boat attacks. Therefore, the United States should be cautious in its military deployment of Iran and seek a more appropriate strategic solution.
