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!

They "got weak" in the sense that the are no longer the world's sole superpower, but Britain still has her teeth.

[@velcranoxofficials9970]

@@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]

@@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.

Those tiny gunboats tried to block the path of a tanker 100 times their size and filled with product ? Tanker collides with gunboats = Gunboats at the bottom of the sea. That's like three guys on motorcycles trying to block the path of a 25 car freight train. lol

[@tomabenas964]

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.

[@PlanetBlake]

@@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.

[@tomabenas964]

@@PlanetBlake by mass alone, yes they couldn't stop it. 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.

Grace 1 going the long way round may be due to secrecy, But Grace 1 can't actually transit the Suez canal even if she wanted too, she doesn't fit. Ships with a beam larger then 50m and a draught larger then 20m cant go through the Suez Canal and Grace 1 exceeds those dimension.

On further reading it seems that Suez does have capability for ships to offload crude at one end if they're overweight and they'll pump it to the other end and the tanker refuels on its way out.

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.

Just like to say I got an ad for oil tanker ballast systems pumps referring to “your tanker”. Respect for the manufacturer to think that definitely multi million dollar oil tanker company CEOs are watching this and are definitely going to buy your solution based on a youtube video

[@LiLi-iq7gl]

This video is really nicely made.

thank you for the report Mr Churchill

They now recently punished the gunboats for their dishonor by blowing up one of their own in a practice exercise.

The Royal Navy has always been an awesome force for good and defensive reasons. Who can forget the Falkland war. The Iranians need to beware, the Brits will defend their own... for sure.

[@VentantoGame]

As long as they don't illegally possess other country's property they are awesome

[@azazzelx]

well armed gunboats and some long ranged ground AS missile batteries do pose a real threat in a narrow strait...

Chadx M well commented. You are very correct. like you would be suitable commander in different ranks of a force...All about the fundamentals innit.. it was still a bad move from Iran but I only see same as you

Thanks for the video. Very well done. Ya'll got some pretty sweet frigate's and destroyer's.

SUBBED. Can you please do episodes related to other areas of conflict such as the South China Sea? Resources might be very hard to find but I am just asking.

[@TheOperationsRoom]

Absolutely, but you are correct that resources are the major factor. This video was possible because of the publicly available ship transponders showing the location of everything. In an all military event these would all be switched off

[@Tuahid]

It’s fake news

[@Bishop1664]

Great video. I’m glad to see our Royal Marie’s got a shout out! One minor pickup point; as a serving marine I can tell you that the pronunciation of ‘42 commando’ is ‘four-two’ commando!

This was very nice to watch :)

Thanks for the visit

The best explanation was this was simply to elicit UKs reaction before formulating a strategy. In the scenario where they are shot down, they can claim the violation of international law. In the scenario where they are not shot down, they understand the UKs protocol for an interception such as this.

I kind of admired the Iranian military for having the balls to try and kidnap a British tanker given they have no chance if war were to break out between two countries. Iran economy would cripple if Britain shut down oil trade as Iran does not have a blue navy to even challenge Britain. Fighting a war where you don't have the capability to strike your enemy home base is a losing war to begin with.

[@khonhlo1476]

@Lady Babey I dont think so. They just want to flex and feel like they belong to the top dog of the middle east which historically has been true. The real suicidal regime is Saudi Arabia. Fighting 2 border countries without a proper military and now they want to pick fight with Iran when they cant even defeat a tribal backward mountain people of Yemen.
