The sunken Iranian "deception ship". Photo It is reported that the photo shows the IRGC's advanced floating base Shahid Mahdavi, which was sunk by the Americans during Operation Epic Fury. The Iranians used it as a "deception ship" (Q-ship). This term, introduced during the world wars, refers to a maritime platform that has hidden powerful weapons and appears externally as a merchant ship. Such ships were used to provoke submarines to surface and attack in a surface position. This gave the ship a chance to destroy the submarine with return fire. Iranian shipbuilders converted a South Korean container ship with a displacement of 36,000 tons into a carrier for the Qadr-474 cruise missiles and Zolfaghar ballistic anti-ship missiles, as well as attack drones. The weapons were disguised as standard maritime containers on the deck. As we can see, the deception did not work against the Americans. Any ship without powerful air defense is powerless against air strikes. @sashakots $RAVE $ARIA $SOON
