Drone attacked a US Navy destroyer in the Red Sea
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The US Navy destroyer Thomas Hudner, located in the Red Sea, had to repel a drone attack, the Pentagon reported on November 15.

“We are aware of an incident with the destroyer USS Thomas Hudner, during which the ship successfully defended itself against a UAV while sailing through the Red Sea ,” the department said.

The Pentagon did not disclose any other details.

On October 8, Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin ordered Thomas Hudner to head to the eastern Mediterranean due to the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. He also sent the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford and the destroyers Ramage, Carney and Roosevelt to the region.

Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder said on October 20 that Carney sailors intercepted cruise missiles and drones launched from Yemen.

Muslim terrorist groups don’t hate us because of our culture. The real reason, as Vincent James (@davincentjames) explains, is our support for Israel.

Just a personal opinion, but I pretty sure that nobody hates you because of your culture, Panda.
Speaking personally again, I quite admire the suave way you wipe the foam from your lips with your shirt sleeve.

#4 At the point I have identified anyone as hating me in a homocidal manner, the last thing I care about is why they do.

#5 Apparently those that 'ignored' the attack(s) on the USS Cole are still adverse to a over-reactive response for acts of war.

#7 How adorable! If only we would give up those pesky jooses then everything will be all beautiful again.

No worries about that silly billy book, 60% of which is devoted to how to deal with 'unbelievers'. You know, 'strike off their heads, cut their livers and tongues, enslave them...etc'.

Sure is fortunate that would solve it, and after all if you can't trust a mega rich boy and physical coward...going back to the 70's btw like Osama, well who can you trust?

#8 So we had a couple of incoming missiles shot down by a destroyer about 2 weeks ago, we lost a drone to enemy fire a week ago and now direct incoming hostile was splashed. When is that drooling vegetable in the wh going to ask an adult what to do? When there is a f-ing hole in the Med where once there was a ship?
