ok but the golden horn is like 500m wide at the mouth, while the strait of hormuz is 50km.
I'll run down to home depot and see if I can get a chain long enough for them
Conventional artillery has an effective range of up to 55km with rocket assisted muntions.
Yeah but with modern technology 50km is like 50cm; just pick something up from like home depot or something
I feel like you could definitely make a 20 mile long chain and put it up in the strait the only problems is 1) Iran doesn't control both sides and 2) i'm pretty sure the impact of a big ass tanker on a chain that long would just break it. Maybe fuck up the ship too?
