The second US Navy carrier group, led by the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69), arrived in the Middle East

The United States has significantly strengthened its already weak forces in the Middle East, with a second carrier group led by the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) arriving in the region. This was announced yesterday by the US Central Command, which is responsible for operations in the Middle East, East Africa and Central Asia.

The second aircraft carrier group arrived in the Middle East to strengthen American forces in the region. As stated in the Pentagon, the main task of the forces concentrated near Israel is to prevent interference in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict by “third countries,” or simply put, Iran. At the same time, it is possible that the United States will continue to draw additional forces into the region.



A strike group led by the aircraft carrier SS Dwight D. Eisenhower arrived in the Middle East in the Central Command area of ​​responsibility as a reinforcement of representation in the region

- said the Central Command.

As noted, the AUG, in addition to the aircraft carrier itself, includes a missile cruiser and several destroyers. And in the eastern Mediterranean there is another aircraft carrier group led by the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78). She arrived on the Israeli coast at the very beginning of the conflict.

Meanwhile, the United States itself once again stated that it does not intend to engage in hostilities, but opposes a long ceasefire in Gaza, believing that this will benefit Hamas. At the same time, Washington would like to take a humanitarian pause with a ceasefire in order to deliver humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. But Israel is categorically against it.

            In my opinion, only our “Kit” can penetrate the 6 m anti-torpedo protection of an aircraft carrier: it is 6,5 m. Maybe the experts will correct me.

              In general, as far as I remember, the destruction of an aircraft carrier covered by a group (it’s called an AUG). was not even set (well, if it works, God forbid), the task of incapacitating was set and such an outfit of forces and means was assigned that it’s scary to even think about (aviation was assigned to regiments there) Now it’s probably easier to solve the problem with daggers and zircons, but we must take into account that on the other side they do not stand still. Well, so something like that.

        Hezbollah cannot attack from the coast of Lebanon and Syria

        The number of this organization is only 4000 people, less than on an American aircraft carrier. At the same time, the United States spends more than $50 billion annually on Israel’s war. Therefore, to justify huge expenditures on the war, the Pentagon and the IDF will have to recruit terrorists themselves from ordinary citizens in Lebanon and Palestine, including women and children. And if they refuse, then the “White Helmets” will make a movie in Hollywood.

              What can Hezbollah do alone? If Muslim countries throughout the region presented the United States with an ultimatum, they would have something to think about. The leaders of the BV countries have a chance to write their names in history forever, and this may be more of an incentive for them than a bank account, because this is not even secular, but sacred history. On the other hand, there is a possibility that secular history will return to prehistoric times as a result of TMB. A difficult situation.

        Neither a plus nor a minus for, I believe that Hamas simply does not have such a number of weapons to destroy this trough, either in quantity or in power. It's the same as shooting a bear with a pneumatic gun.
        If Iran fits in as the most prepared and has the necessary means, then it will fit into a long fight with an unpredictable result, by the way, the mattresses also proceed from this and will not be the first to attack Iran, but rely on pure bluff, supposedly to keep Tehran from attacking Iran. For Israel, the presence of the AUG will be enough. As for me, if Iran decides to slaughter, then if significant damage is caused to the aircraft carrier (not even sinking), then 2 to 1 it will end in Iran’s favor and the mattresses will be removed out of reach, accompanying their withdrawal with threats and other “democratic” bullshit.

      On November 3, Esenhower with Ford and escort ships conducted photo exercises, the purpose of the exercise was to show how scary we are (in short, selfies). On November 4, he sailed through the Suez Canal to the Red Sea and where he is now, scaring our vacationers in Egypt on the horizon. By the way, every warship has your own page on the Internet.

        As I understand it, if a selfie is when you take a picture of yourself, then photo teaching is when you scare yourself?
        Because who else should they scare? Iran? Look, the DPRK knows which button to press so that it doesn’t get scary. Trumpampam was already trying to scare them with aircraft carriers, after which the AUG suddenly, as if in a “square” on the parade ground, made a “left!” and pretended that they were actually going to Indonesia, to visit their aunt on their uncle’s side.

      The situation is getting more and more serious. I am sincerely surprised by those people who believe that all this is nothing more than a show of force. If only for the reason that the United States has not only brought in two aircraft carrier groups, but has also ensured the arrival of a number of warships from other NATO countries. Here it is worth remembering two British aircraft carriers - smaller, of course, than American ones - also heading to the shores of Israel. Here we counted the NATO ships that are already in place and those that are on the way - we got 29 units, including support ships and one submarine (US Navy nuclear submarine "Florida"). And these are just the ones we know about.

      In addition, it is worth remembering the hundreds of thousands of shells delivered to Israel, the several thousand marines, special forces and other ground fighters. In addition to this, the United States transferred dozens of combat aircraft to the zone of the brewing conflict, placing them at several airfields. Weapons of various types and purposes continue to arrive. And someone in all seriousness wants to say that they are just intimidating, given that their bases in Iraq and Syria have recently been subjected to regular shelling.

      And this is only part of the measures and actions that they are taking. This has gone too far to be a mere demonstration.

        And Arab media write that Egypt allowed the American aircraft carrier Dwight Eisenhower to pass through the Suez Canal, which had previously moved towards the Israeli coast.

        Now, apparently, he is heading into the Red Sea to the shores of Yemen.

        Iran has big problems supplying Hezbollah in Syria and Lebanon - airfields in Aleppo and Damascus were bombed by Israel.
        Delivering something to Lebanon by land is very risky and time consuming.

      The question is whether there is a sufficient number of Club-K anti-ship missiles in the metal in the form of a sea container. Such missiles can be secretly delivered to their destination by any container ship, wheeled or railway transport and it is almost impossible to track it. If so, then such containers can now be anywhere and at a convenient moment they will be able to launch using AUG guided by our satellites.

      These indicators allow one missile to destroy any American equipment, including such a colossus as an aircraft carrier, with the equipment installed on it and all the equipment that will be on board at the time of the strike. To do this, you only need to install a nuclear warhead. The Russian President subtly hinted at this.

        The number of NATO ships off the coast of Israel was already excessive and more have been added and it looks like more will come, there is something more than a desire to keep Iran or anyone from interfering in the conflict (and then Iran does not even have a border with Israel or access to the Mediterranean Sea), Perhaps their plan is different, to take advantage of the moment and rush to the Bosphorus with the whole crowd.

      The American AUG, now, has a rather banal mission in the Mediterranean... This mission is more likely an evacuation-escort mission: the first AUG must carry out the evacuation of Israel's nuclear weapons from the battle zone, if it is clear to the leadership of Israel and the United States that Israel is coming to a complete "fucking", with by adding the word “actually”, under the pressure of the Middle (and not only) East, the second AUG is carrying out a military escort towards the United States. There is no question about any clashes, carrier-based aircraft, with anyone... The Pentagon understands perfectly well that the “step left, step right” of AUGs is for Russian hypersonic “Daggers”, with MIG-31s, which “hang” in duty mode 24/7, over the Black Sea, is a reason for an attack... What our Supreme Commander kindly informed his former “partners” about through non-diplomatic channels... Something like this...
