What is lurking in the Mediterranean Sea ?

 

🚨 New — Guided-missile sub USS Georgia (SSGN 729) surfaces in the Med, a significant show of force

1 of 4 U.S. guided-missile submarines, Georgia can carry 154 Tomahawk land attack cruise missiles (as many as 5-6 destroyers) & host special ops personnel & equipment.

Combined, the 4 SSGNs represent more than half of the Submarine Force's vertical launch payload capacity.

Georgia is assigned to Task Force 69 + Submarine Group 10: "the nation's preeminent provider of sea-based strategic deterrence, Tomahawk land attack missile strikes, & unique special operations capabilities"

USS Florida (SSGN 728), also assigned to COMSUBGRU 10, made waves in November 2023 with a timely & rare appearance in the Red Sea following the attack on Israel. Florida returned to Kings Bay on 31 July after a 727-day deployment (60K nautical miles & 5 crew swaps) to 5th, 6th, & 7th Fleets.

USS Georgia was at homeport in Kings Bay on 10 May, & replaced USS Florida as the deployed boat under Commander, Submarine Squadron 16. A timely appearance, as the pics were taken in July but posted today @DVIDSHub. Last seen in Souda Bay, Greece, on 5 August by @WarshipCam.

Iran is trying to figure out how to get out of their own made pickle while saving face. But they are in a zugzwang - no matter what they move is, it’s only getting worse for them. It looks like the free world finely decided to put an end to a lot of bullshit.

Iran will likely do whatever they have to so that they can develop a nuke. Israeli intelligence likely knows where that development stands. Iran with a bomb is worse than North Korea having one. If nothing else the precision strikes that hit Iran, Syria and Lebanon should worry Iran. But that said it is not enough. IMHO a direct strike on Tehran's government has to happen now not later.

What happened to Belarus and Russian mutual defense agreement? Wasn't Belarus to come to Russia's defense? Crickets? How about Russians in the overran sectors greeting the AFU forces with smiles? Ideal propaganda for Ukraine.

Been wondering myself..

 

Mr Potatoe Head is probably trying to stay out of the way,   He has, a can offer nothing to Putins cause that would affect anything,.
Putin may have taken most of his resources already.

Having said that ,  there were SOF from Belarus supporting UKR early in this War.

 

perhaps there is a larger contingency, waiting for the right opportunity of supporting forces to assist them.

 

Timming is Key , going into Belarus just as Ru. Is losing more Borders , with Air Support,.  would be perfect?

 

My random thoughts

perhaps a time to take a page out of the Terrorists hand book and create a false flag 

Event ,  allows the triggers to be squeezed and get rid of Irans “forever” existential threat ,.  Tearing it back down to a foundation of Democracy it once had?

Good morning!

 

seems everything is tracked to staging points and eliminated almost immediately.

 

No rest for the Wicked,  and nowhere to hide.

 

it’s becoming almost Carnival-like targeting.

    “Step right up”  !

to add to the above quote,  these numbers may be part of that attack ,.  Wow!

This turns every trooper into a Special Operator,.  Soon a couple of small drones will be in every troopers back pack , and will be able to attach any explosive device off his belt.

But to each one to have eyes in the air , or the advantage of its “higher ground” ,

is an extraordinary advantage and asset .

 

just my thoughts.

Recent..

 

have to come up with a way of placing a harness over the tails of these in flight,.

and deploying a parachute remotely.

 

Soft Crash Landing .

would be an interesting scenario to try .

 

They are asking for it 😉  regardless.

 

or perhaps a paint bomb exploding in front of the windscreen?  ..  would definitely fuck  up their mission
