England Strategic and International Studies Center has published an article that, if the US-Iraq war, then the possibility of Iran’s extensive use of anti-ship missile is high. Iran’s surface fleet is smaller, only six of the limited capacity of the frigate, so Iran can not control the Strait of Hormuz and its surrounding areas. Therefore, Iran is unlikely to choose to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, and may take the strategy of denial, attacks drop ship single or defensive capacity is low.

in order to avoid direct conflict and the United States or other countries of the region ships, Iran’s military might deployed attack submarines and fast attack boats at sea, or anti-ship missiles launched from land-use flatbed trucks. Iran’s south-east Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea and Gulf of Oman, south-west of the Persian Gulf, from the south-east into the Persian Gulf to be after the Strait of Hormuz. 100 km of the Strait at its widest point, the narrowest region only 50 km. Iran has taken control of a number of important island in the Strait of Hormuz, covered with a variety of anti-ship missile.

U.S. aircraft carrier into the Persian Gulf, must go through the Straits, Iran could use the missile group to conduct a comprehensive blockade of the Strait of Hormuz; can also use a variety of small boats filled with anti-ship weapons to the U.S. aircraft carrier The attack can also use the mini-submarine from submarine attack, like a “behind closed doors, dog”.

because of the difficulty of air, surface attack aircraft carrier In addition to the missiles outside Iran’s main water weapons, “disability” the U.S. aircraft carrier. In the use of such tactics, submarines, mines, torpedoes, is a key weapon.

submarine forces had laid an ambush in the enemy’s aircraft carrier battle group close to the route near the waters, hunting, can reach the enemy unexpectedly, the purpose of breaking the enemy’s aircraft carrier battle groups. Compared with the air and surface threats, aircraft carrier battle groups to deal with the threat of submarines appear to be more difficult. Anti-submarine forces of a large aircraft carrier to configure a multi-layer: anti-submarine aircraft, nuclear-powered attack submarine, anti-submarine helicopters and anti-submarine missiles and torpedoes. However, with the adjustments and changes of the strategic mission, the aircraft carrier battle groups in anti-submarine forces cut. Submarine antiship capability has been enhanced, allowing the submarine to become an effective weapon to attack the carrier. Iran’s submarines by 18 (but 15 of the fleet of small submarines) constitutes an effective underwater threats. However, in order to attack Iran’s submarines need to avoid the powerful anti-submarine warfare systems, reconnaissance in the U.S. and its allies of the Arab forces, which may be easier in the shallow water, but in the deeper waters of the Persian Gulf will become difficult.

Bradley may be available in Iran, the best tactics, either blockade of the waters, while avoiding direct engagement with enemy forces. It is estimated that the Iranian Navy 2000-3000 mines. These mines are tethered mines and sink to the bottom of mines, by contact and induction (induction sound environment, magnetic fields or water pressure, etc. Description of ships change) and detonated. Thousands of mines and a few days to lay mines in the Strait of Hormuz, you may need. Iran can use the “Kilo” class submarines, the submarine can carry 24 mines. But more large-scale mine-laying operations may need to use small boats and merchant ships. While this approach is easy to be found, but within a few hours to deploy hundreds of mines should have a great effect.

With the rapid development of computer and electronic technology, the national development of mines to focus on improving its intelligence, mobility, stealth, take the initiative to attack and precision strike capability, the development of the SLMM, self-guided mines, rocket floating mines, remote mines, software mines and new mines.

underwater weapons despite its low cost, simple structure, but it is easy cloth hard sweep, concealment and destruction of the very powerful, threatening a long time, etc., and thus in the present and future operations in the anti-aircraft carrier battle will continue to play an important role to play an irreplaceable role.

In summary, supplemented by Iran to combat land-island to combat water-based, flexible use of tactics, putting the blow is entirely possible to the invading enemy. (Wei Yuejiang compile)
