Don't forget the Pasdaran special forces, two men on a wet bike and either an RPG or a SAW/GPMG! I'd use my escort vessels to run them down, watch them dodge. If the battleships are active, watch the muzzle blast pulp 'em!

Apparently it has been made at the request of an Iranian movie director, there's interesting pictures of it during construction to be found here: -
http://www.military-quotes.com/forum...r-t108284.html

That page has a link to an Iranian news media page (that Google badly translates from Persian) that supports this: -
http://www.mashreghnews.ir/fa/news/2...B9%DA%A9%D8%B3

All in all, quite a let down... if that explanation is actually true... although I'm sure it will undoubtedly be some sort of pro-Iranian propaganda movie that will be hilarious to watch due to a compete lack of reality with regards to facing a US CVN battle group, but you know, there'll be plenty of scenes of noble, brave Persian warriors nobly and bravely sacrificing their lives to prevent the evil running-dog, heathen, capitalist-imperialist, facist and did we mention evil, Yankees from forcing their evil etc. etc. etc. ways onto the noble and brave but peace & harmony & freedom loving Iranian peoples who just want to be left to live their lives in peace & harmony & freedom...

It'll be more laughs than stand-up comedy night!

Y'know, I almost miss some of the "glorious socialism" propaganda they used to spew during the Cold War for it's comedic value, if nothing else. Though you can still read similar stuff over at the KCNA (Korean Central News Agency) website for North Korea. Good for a laugh or two...

Then again, anyone ever watch Russia Today? It's basically the days of TASS (nowadays it's ITAR-TASS) during the Soviet Union all over again, only more bizarre with less emphasis on World Socialism and more emphasis on touting pro-Pooty rhetoric, stories about the corrupt Western (i.e. American) Imperialists, newsbabes (guess they learned something from Fox News) and spinning conspiracy theories....er, news stories. The reason they stated for Russia's annexation of the Crimea besides "protecting Russian citizens"? It was partly in response to the overthrow of the "peaceful" pro-Russian Ukranian government by a conspiracy involving the Americans and Nazis.

And no, I'm NOT making that up.
