    ⭕️ Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said its Navy carried out a coordinated missile and drone assault in Wave 84 of Operation True Promise 4 against US forces in Kuwait’s Shuwaikh port and along the coast and port of Dubai, using Qadr-380 ballistic and cruise missiles alongside attack drones.

    The IRGC also said six US LCU combat landing craft were hit, with three reportedly sunk and the rest set ablaze, while separate drone strikes targeted gathering points of US drone unit personnel and a hotel in Dubai, resulting in the reported killing of a large number of US troops and the destruction of tactical equipment.

      So, sinking landing craft? Were those landing craft empty, or is this a mass casualty event?

        I think the casualties are in reference to the drone strikes on US personnel hiding in hotels, along with the strikes on the Kuwaiti port.

          I am asking about the landing craft. Why would there be empty landing craft just lying about?

        Probably empty. The imperialists are still mustering. If the ground invasion was happening I’m sure there would be more than 6 boats.

            The american military doctrine has not been adapted to the new realities of missile and drone warfare. They haven’t done an amphibious landing since 1950.
