A Kremlin Kommie Kunt LNG ship has been attacked and sunk off the coast of Malta couple of days ago. It wasn't as dramatic as that guy implies. The whole crew lived, iirc.

Absent FPV interceptors (which basically only Ukies have for now) the only way to counter OWA drones attacking ships is helos and fighter jets (and million-bucks interceptor missiles, but this is retarded). And hitting the launchers on the ground, obviously, but these are highly mobile and disguised as civilian lorries.
I wonder though how are these drones are guided. Starlink is the best for the job, nothing else comes close in an EW-heavy environment. Did Elon switch it off over ME? Did the admin tell him to?

How would Starlink signals get through EW jamming?

Jamming comes from below, Starlink from above; if the drones are shielded from below, the Starlink signal can get though. Remember, GHz signals are line of sight, and don't "wrap around" like KHz radio frequencies, so a drone's shielded lower surface will block GHz jamming from the topside surface. Granted, that shielding will have to be at least 40 gauge solid ferromagnetic material, but it's doable.

Just have an RC-135 or similar jam the entire area from 30,000 feet. Also, "line of sight" is irrelevant. Anything MHz or higher is "line of sight" and I know from personal experience those signals can be jammed just fine, be it radio, radar, cellular, or GPS signals.

Truly an application for "atoms for peace" - several subsurface nukes followed by bulldozing/dredging. Easy peasy.

There is already a pipeline there. It's just not a big enough of a pipeline. Same with Saudi Arabia which I sure has already maxed out it's Red Sea pipeline. (which I suspect is also not big enough). Said pipelines, if big enough, probably not connected to other countries oil so would only free up UAE and Saudi oil (I should think).

Not an expert, but it's a fact that Kremlin Kommie Kunts who are traditionally VERY good at EW and invest shitload into
developing and improving it couldn't jam it. Or rather they could initially but SpaceX has defeated it through some software tweaks.

After he deals with the leadership structure, and critical regime infrastructure.
Securing the straight will be Trump's next mission. I think we're less than a week away from navigation flowing freely.
Trump is allowing it for now, so he can have America lock up the Maritime Insurance racket from the Lloyd's of London and the Global elite. Which he will use to knock down the tariff payback the Commie Judges has slapped him with.

So, do we know what they use to close the Hormuz? Can't be mines - their navy hasn't been operational since early days into the hostilities. Drones, AshMs? Just stern warnings?

The ragheads'll just motor on out in their rubber dinghies and attach some limpet mines onto the passing oil tankers. Not much anyone can do about it.

A guy with Ma Deuce posted up top can do a lot about it.
Not to mention stuff like helos and escort vessels.

No joke, insurance companies. Lloyd's won't insure anything transitting.
However, in the other thread at least one Chinese ship did so, I think two - making it very clear it was Chinese.

So motherfucking Kremlin Kommie Kunts can transport their sanctioned oil by uninsured shadow fleet but everybody else can't? Why are we sticking to the rules while our adversaries clearly don't? The US Navy should fucking commandeer the fucking tankers and make them to do their job. It's a fucking emergency, isn't it?

Ok, Iran's underwater drones can pick and choose their targets.
It doesn't look like the US navy has anything to counter them with.
3 Super tankers hit today. Consider it closed again. With an extortion racket that can be played out for years into the future. Unless we bomb them enough for them to surrender.

It started with Trump saying it’ll be over quick. Which is as a huge exaggeration.
Yesterday everyone who could opened up emergency oil reserves because it’s not looking like it’ll be over anytime soon.
Trump cheer team treats him like a messiah instead of questioning his judgement at times.

It seems to me China should be telling Iran to knock off the Hormuz bull shite. They are the ones that need the oil. ANd I really don’t understand why WTI was actually more expensive than Brent Crude the other day. IF in fact we are energy independent fvck ‘em and feed ‘em beans!

A whole buncha speculators flooded the oil markets betting the price of oil would keep going up. Those that went along lost bigly.

The ragheads said they would.
Keep in mind that they don't have to shut it completely down. They just have to do enough damage for the global maritime shipping insurers to shut down coverage of all said shipping.
I don't think they will do it beyond some lame token attack. Shutting down shipping in the PG would hurt their patron China too much.
But if it gets shut down, California will see $15/gallon gas real soon. Because CA would rather be oil dependent on ragheads who treat women like shit than buy any from 'Those Evil Fracker Fuckers in Texas'. Hawaii will be fucked, too.
