Iran’s Fleet ‘RUNS THE BLOCKADE’… US NAVY Wipes It OFF THE MAP

U.S. Navy MH-60R Seahawk disabled the Curacao-flagged supertanker M/T Belma with AGM-114 Hellfire missiles near Kharg Island, the first enforcement strike of the reinstated American naval blockade of Iran. This is the full tactical reconstruction of how that helicopter fought its way to the ship.

We break down why fifty feet is the only survivable altitude in the northern Persian Gulf with an S-300PMU2 covering the coast, how Iran's Ghadir over-the-horizon radar detects a helicopter that fighter radar would struggle with, and why a ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft gun bolted to a derelict oil platform deck turns low-altitude flying from cover into a firing solution. The video covers the Misagh-2 infrared seeker that ignores flares, Peykaap-III fast attack craft geometry, the Khordad-15 battery and its Bashir engagement radar, and why a command-guided Sayyad-3 missile flies to a prediction that stopped moving.

Then the shot itself: laser designation at 1.064 microns, why diesel soot scatters that exact wavelength, and how two Hellfires into one smokestack stop a quarter of a million tons without spilling a drop of oil or hurting a soul.
