82nd airbourne is US airbourne force. They launch from cargo planes using parachutes or use helicopter landings.
It is telling that they picked the airbourne force for an operation.

The oil tankers should also be full of oil when they are used to form the bridge. This is because oil floats on water, which will make the bridge easier for vehicles to cross.
All 13 San Antonios will rush the strait at once. IRGC mines and attack boats can realistically only hope to sink 7 or 8 tops. LPD wave attacks.
I mean if they gonna Airdrop, cant they do that but in iran?
can US air-drop like 3-4K troops along with vehicles n stuff safely? Heli's or planes providing CAP?
Maybe the new carrier group thats joining is bring the troops? Sit next to like oman and send in the airdrops?
You know...technicaalllllly the easiest most unsuspecting way of entering Iran would be from...Afghanistan...
I mean with the amount of traffic.
Look at the more upper traffic overview, can you guess where the CSG is resting right now?
There is a suspiciously empty patch on the ocean..
How you get people to hate you for generations to come. And all of this for what? To satisfy the mad whims of a dictator who wants to coverup failing domestic policies and past sex crimes?
No not yet:
Even if they were to send Bush to the gulf it will take some time doing replenishment.
Nothing unusual really, IIRC correctly during Desert Storm they deployed like six carriers, including the nuclear Theodore Roosevelt.
In fact, it should have surprised us that they deemed two sufficient, which they were not. Another indicator that preparation has either been rushed (as suggested by sources claiming that Israel demanded immediate action) or that the US underestimated the resistance they'd face. Theoretically, right now, they could deploy a total of 4 CVNs over there and smaller amphib flatdecks.
As a youngster I used to misread Lebanese as LESbanese, so i thought it was a city/place of only lesbians
I doubt the 3-4 anti-ship missiles iran fires will hit the actual carrier or its escorts, they can easily shoot that much down.
they would have to fire like 60-80 at once.
WTF, a mounting issue takes 2 years??? Is the bolt made of diamon
yeah between these 3 its hard to believe its the bolt-mounting thats fucked up and needs 2 years.
Further update over the beqaa incident:
Apparently they were attempting to acquire the remains of a dead IDF pilot who is buried in the area,
But I have also read another saying they were attempting to sabotage some tunnel entrances.
It kinda seems insane they went 4 helis full of commandoes to get remains back, now they are even more dead IDF in the area.
Does anyone know what type of heli IDF would use in this? 3-4 heli fulls should be 20-30 soldiers dead?
I think Kharg is a dumb choice. With 20km2, they will get bombarded by drones till death. There will be no exit or resupply.
Trump is dumb but not CENTCOM, (or idk, who would be in control of them.) It might be a media diversion to distract Iran.
Other potential options are:
Land onto Kurds to "motivate" them to help them fight for their "freedom"
Some Iraqi airport and start trying to land more troops from there
Both options are very dangerous, but not as crazy as Kharg

I think they mainly utilize UH-60 variants and CH-53.
