Maybe they were thinking of jumping the bow wakes?

If so.....I hope they had lanyards on!!!!!! Otherwise is something happened, there go our insurance rates!

im told if we had shot at them ,they would have used their silkworm missles[chinese made and deadly accurite] on the 5-6 shore batterys near the straits ,then what should we have done?

looks like we did shoot......


leaked info about other similar incidents that didnt make any news

As I was watching the video I though they should be firing warning shots, I guess they did and it worked. You know they were just pushing our buttons, they wanted us to fire on them so they could escalate it thru fire power and the media. Why the PDFs? they expected to have to swim, they really thought we would sink them. The problem is these boats could carry a big payload and get there fast. It was very clear the boats were light, the way they rode in the waves you could tell they were empty but still it would be enough to seriously damage any size vessel. We did good, we did not stoop to their level and we stood our ground. I like the drone idea, just race along side, in front, on top, behind..all over the place. Maybe tape a Coran on the belly so they think it is some kind of vengeful God......you know, the one who said to kill 10s of 1000s.....
