Find, Fix, and Finish the Helo and Drone carrier IRIS Shahid Baghrei

The Iranian drone carrier IRIS Shahid Bagheri was always going to be one of the first airpower priorities in any conflict with the United States. The ship started life as a civilian container vessel before Iran converted it into a floating drone base. From its deck, it could launch UAVs, operate helicopters, and carry anti-ship missiles designed to threaten shipping across the region. When the conflict started, the U.S. military moved fast. Video released by U.S. Central Command appears to show the moment the Shahid Bagheri was struck by precision weapons. Two 2,000-pound JDAMs slam into the ship — one forward and one aft — ripping into the converted carrier. The explosions tear through the hull, and within minutes the massive vessel begins to settle into the water. Once meant to project Iranian power at sea, the Shahid Bagheri instead becomes a powerful reminder of how quickly modern precision airpower can erase a high-value naval vessel. In this video, we break down the strike, the weapons used, and why this converted drone carrier was such an important priority. #aviation #avgeek #military #airforce #army #navy #usmc #pilot #pilotlife #flight #flying #fly #aircraft #airplane #plane #jet #airport #photo #photography #video #videoviral #viralvideos #lessonsfromthecockpit #podcast #show #takeoff #drone
