    Hello Ladies and Gents. Your positive comments really are appreciated. I create these videos in my spare time around a full time day job. Each one takes around 60-70 man hours of effort to produce, even longer on complex videos like Schweinfurt-Regensburg and the Battle of Midway.
    My goal is to reach 100k subscribers by the end of 2020. If you enjoy The Operations Room, it would be awesome if you could please subscribe!

      @@InvictusByz I'm talking about a literal war and both abiding by the rules of modern warfare. The UK would not have a chance at beating Iran. (also let's remember that no nuclear weapons will be used, the brits would be shamed and condemned on the international level) Seriously? Only 2 aircraft carriers? Whatever let's talk about a land invasion of Iran, that would be a bloody and difficult talk, (figuratively and literally) Iran has mountains surroundings their western and southern borders and the only possible way for the brits to enter Iran without difficulty is through the straight of Hormuz. Even if they tried they would get demolished because of Iran's military on the ground and on the air, these people will literally be defending their homelands to the death and concentrating all their forces on just the coastline will be easy since they already established military, naval, and air bases on their coasts. Great britain wouldnt possibly be able to invade firstly because their supply lines would be overextended, secondly they are not familiar with fighting in that terrain, and thirdly they wouldnt be able to concentrate the neccessary troops to the coastlines. Also look at where Iran's capital is at, its incredibly far from the coasts

    • @InvictusByz
      @InvictusByz 4 ปีที่แล้ว +81

      @@velcranoxofficials9970 Your entire argument is predicated on the assumption that Britain would have to invade. For one, the technological difference would play a massive role. Iran has proven vulnerable to drone strikes, for example, and the UK absolutely has drone capacity.
      And yes, 2 aircraft carriers is a big deal considering most countries have 0. Also of note, the existence of the 2 carriers would ensure the British did not overextend, they have two floating airbases they can advance on the enemy. The logistical value of an aircraft carrier when discussing an invasion of distant shores is absolute. Realistically, the British solo option would not involve a direct invasion, but rather a series of long range drone and guided missile strikes directed towards key military and governmental infrastructure, designed to force the Iranians into submission before conventional conflict can begin.

      I mean you can stop a larger oil tanker with a much smaller boat. All you need is one well placed explosive shot and you can send the entire tanker to the bottom of the ocean. They aren't built with armor so a simple HE round would damage the hull irreparably, and it's crewed by civilians meaning they are unlikely able to fight back in any meaningful way.

      @@tomabenas964 : Sure Thomas. If someone's intent is to sink it with a missile or explosive of some kind, then obviously it can be sunk. Wasn't saying a tanker can't be sunk. The point was just that the mass of three tiny gunboats, is no match for the mass of a tanker loaded with product, if the tanker decides to break through the gunboats. They wouldn't be blocking the tankers path so much as they'd be committing suicide in order to cause any damage to the tanker. Also, while tankers don't have armor, it is my understanding that law requires them to be double-hulled in order to help prevent oil spills. I do not know the specs on the hull thickness, but I would assume it is relatively thick, in order to support the stress of their heavy payloads for weeks at a time.

But factor in the machine guns, small cannons, and usually some form of small missile weaponry and you realize that even just one gunboat is all you really need to stop a tanker. Two or three shots and you can destroy a tanker that doesn't listen to you. Now if you thought they were just going to park in the way and let the tanker ram through them that is so 17th century.

      Dude, the Armada was the top dog of the seas for centuries before the british were even a thing. Of course it didn't last forever. Nothing does. And by the way, Spain won the English-Spanish war in 1604. So, please, check your facts.

    Anytime Iran gets its ass kicked, I love every moment. Iran is like a barking little dog that barks at everything. Then a Pit Bull arrives and grabs the little dog by the throat. Iran was mysteriously silent when the USA had its military in Iraq, kicking Saddam back to the stone age. Not one statement of disapproval came from Iran. And just in case people believe Iran has a navy, the Port of Miami Florida has more speed boats than Iran and are way faster. Plastic, rubber hulls will sink so much faster than an Aircraft Carrier. Iran can't defend itself from the common house fly. Not to mention that a country that enforces its own women to cover from head to toe isn't a country worth worrying about. The last war they fought was against Iraq. They just weren't up to the task.

      "it isn't usually a good idea to start a conversation using words that generally cause an emotional response". Which is exactly what you did, it's common liberal tactic to start an aggravated exchange then claim innocence when you get the expected measured response.

    Can you do a breakdown of the attack on Pearl Harbor? Also maybe D-Day? Or the final events of WWII from both theaters of war? I love your videos. Especially the WWII ones. That being said though I really liked seeing a breakdown of a current event.
    Cheers!

      It's near the Strait of Hormuz, one of the busiest naval routes in the world, one side of which is a nation that the US doesn't like and makes aggressive overtures into the waters now and then, and a ship presumably just sent out a distress call.
      I don't really see anything unreasonable about a drone checking it out.

      They don't have to comply to E.U. sanctions at all until they enter the straight of Gibraltar. Then they best find another way around that doesn't enter E.U. waters. Like Suez.

    If you don't turn off your AIS transponder then everyone including the Iranians can accurately track your position and intended track. It may be suspicious but at least you have some concealment.

      It was a recon drone, not a Reaper Drone. It wasn't armed with weapons.
