The sudden maneuver by three warships in the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend served as a test water of the IRGC’s anti-ship missile deployments along the coast and Qeshm Island, as well as their integrated coastal defense tactics involving fast boats and their movement during the defense.
The three warships deployed with comprehensive air support, including EW, AWACS, fighters, helicopters, and A-10 Warthogs.
