Loading ...Depends where the missile went in. If it went in at the stern and exploded inside, then a quick patch up job would suffice. Nobody seems to have got any close-ups of anywhere. A laundry fire? That burnt for 30 hours? On a warship? These things are designed to fight fires anytime, anywhere. They are designed to cope with being hit and yet a laundry fire puts it out of action for a year? First Cyprus and now in Croatia, this still ‘mission ready’ lump of scrap is far from the action. Maybe Cyprus was too close where it was still in range of Iran.
What’s more embarrassing, being hit by a missile during combat, actually, during the first time it has seen combat (or maybe, if it was blown up by a missile up the exhaust port it never actually saw combat!) or put out of action by a laundry fire? What is so imflammable in a laundry anyway? I thought they were full of water.
I see that Kuwait has boldly destroyed another Iranian missile in a port in Dubai, using a fully laden oil tanker.
