00:00We are going to examine a very risky military scenario, a complete blockade of the Strait of
00:05Hormuz by the United States. Well, the answer is a complex and brutal naval operation,
00:11something we haven't seen since World War II. This narrow strait is incredibly vital.
00:17Iran's mountainous coast is the best natural cover for its forces. By controlling these islands,
00:23Iran has turned them into fixed armed bases right next to the shipping lanes.
00:27Iran's first challenge is a military attack by fast boats. Their goal is to paralyze the defense
00:33by creating chaos and confusion. The American answer is a multi-layered defense, a surveillance
00:39line on the water, and silent underwater hunters. The drinkers create a radar shield on the surface
00:45of the water, and stealthy submarines silently search for threats. But naval mines are a huge
00:50problem, and this is where robotic minesweepers come in. The United States is using drones as
00:56motherships for its fleets, instead of the old minesweepers. This is a completely new process.
01:02It is calculated that with a few drones, they can safely find and defuse hidden mines.
01:07Well, what's really interesting is that this unmanned submarine goes exactly where no human
01:13should set foot. This smart device imitates the sound of a warship to deceive the mines,
01:18and safely detonates them. Well, the mines have been cleared, but what if Iran launches a wave
01:23of its speedboats? Now it's the turn of the Air Force. The fighter flies low, and first goes
01:29straight to the boat engines with precision Maverick missiles. Then it's the turn of its
01:34legendary cannon. Just the sound of this cannon itself is a psychological weapon. At the same time,
01:40Ethan attacks from above. Apache helicopters come very low, and follow the boats at a terrifying speed.
01:47And finally, the best defense is a stronger attack, which means preventing the attack before it starts,
01:53which means 24-hour surveillance. As soon as a missile or boat is ready, it is targeted before
02:00any movement. But some threats are hidden very deep underground. So how do you get to them?
02:05The answer is the GBB-72 bomb, a 500-pound trench-busting bomb. This bomb can penetrate 6 meters
02:14to the armed man and destroy underground bunkers. An incredible destructive power. So this is not
02:20a quick and easy victory, but the most complex and dangerous.
