    Their cope about this one is that Iran doesn’t have a good platform for it.

    The thing is they’re not coping about supercavitating torpedoes on their own. Like I’ve never seen anyone say that’s bad or lame. The US DID try to steal the tech back in the early 2000s too. With most stuff like this the tone is a combination of pointing out the US’ superior platforms and “We can’t allow a missile gap” rhetoric to build hype for more military procurement.

      Like think about it. If you say the weapon is useless you can’t sell the countermeasure. So the weapon is good, but they can’t use it well yet… BUT ONE DAY THEY MIGHT, so you need to buy the newest raytheon/general dynamics//whatever toy.
