Boots on the Ground | IRGC Command Centers Bombed; U.S. Casualties Reported; Iran Preps Nuke? | Boots On The Ground | July 16, 2026

The race to stop an iranian
00:00:06.362 --> 00:00:08.164
Atomic bomb returns
00:00:08.164 --> 00:00:09.432
To the center stage.
00:00:09.432 --> 00:00:11.334
Iran's secret facility is now
00:00:11.334 --> 00:00:13.470
In america's crosshairs,
00:00:13.470 --> 00:00:15.238
And the united states military
00:00:15.238 --> 00:00:17.507
Is preparing for a deep strike
00:00:17.507 --> 00:00:19.742
Against a bunker
00:00:19.742 --> 00:00:20.910
That may be the last
00:00:20.910 --> 00:00:22.445
Thing separating iran
00:00:22.445 --> 00:00:24.013
From a nuclear bomb.
00:00:24.013 --> 00:00:25.982
An american nuclear
00:00:25.982 --> 00:00:27.550
Sniper aircraft is already
00:00:27.550 --> 00:00:29.686
On its way to the region
00:00:29.686 --> 00:00:31.621
To monitor radioactive leaks,
00:00:31.621 --> 00:00:33.923
While trump is threatening to erase pickaxe mountain in iran,
00:00:33.923 --> 00:00:38.761
Saying that we will destroy
00:00:38.761 --> 00:00:40.964
The facility.
00:00:40.964 --> 00:00:42.398
And at the same time,
00:00:42.899 --> 00:00:44.334
Explosions were heard yesterday
00:00:44.334 --> 00:00:46.469
Near the port of bandar abbas
00:00:46.469 --> 00:00:48.505
In southern iran,
00:00:48.505 --> 00:00:49.639
And later
00:00:49.639 --> 00:00:50.273
In the bushehr area as well.
00:00:50.273 --> 00:00:52.675
The reports came
00:00:53.076 --> 00:00:54.043
After another night of exchanges
00:00:54.043 --> 00:00:56.045
Between the united states
00:00:56.045 --> 00:00:57.614
And iran.
00:00:57.614 --> 00:00:58.848
Widespread american strikes
00:00:58.848 --> 00:01:00.617
Against military targets inside
00:01:00.617 --> 00:01:02.652
The islamic republic
00:01:02.652 --> 00:01:04.020
Alongside iranian claims
00:01:04.020 --> 00:01:05.622
That it attacked american
00:01:05.622 --> 00:01:07.290
Targets in gulf countries.
00:01:07.290 --> 00:01:09.325
I'm yair pinto, with me is mati shoshani,
00:01:10.193 --> 00:01:12.695
And we are here
00:01:12.695 --> 00:01:13.663
On boots on the ground.
00:01:13.663 --> 00:01:15.365
We bring you the full truth
00:01:15.365 --> 00:01:16.599
About what's happening
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:17.667
In israel,
00:01:17.667 --> 00:01:18.301
As well as the full truth
00:01:18.301 --> 00:01:19.302
About what's happening
00:01:19.302 --> 00:01:20.370
In our neighborhood,
00:01:20.370 --> 00:01:21.337
The middle east.
00:01:21.337 --> 00:01:22.372
Today is july 15th,
00:01:22.372 --> 00:01:23.940
So let's begin.
00:01:23.940 --> 00:01:25.575
The islamic revolutionary
00:01:26.142 --> 00:01:27.977
Guards corps announced
00:01:27.977 --> 00:01:29.612
That it had entered the final
00:01:29.612 --> 00:01:31.781
Stages of its retaliation campaign
00:01:31.781 --> 00:01:34.284
Against the american targets
00:01:34.284 --> 00:01:36.319
In the middle east, including
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:38.488
Bases in bahrain and jordan.
00:01:38.488 --> 00:01:40.823
The revolutionary guards navy
00:01:41.457 --> 00:01:43.293
Claimed that it attacked
00:01:43.293 --> 00:01:44.794
American military facilities
00:01:44.794 --> 00:01:46.596
In bahrain,
00:01:46.596 --> 00:01:47.830
Including weapons depots, a satellite communications center,
00:01:47.830 --> 00:01:51.000
Soldiers' living quarters,
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:52.635
And radar systems.
00:01:52.635 --> 00:01:54.070
Iran claims
00:01:54.404 --> 00:01:55.071
That the targets were destroyed,
00:01:55.071 --> 00:01:57.006
But at the same time,
00:01:57.006 --> 00:01:58.274
Washington is preparing
00:01:58.274 --> 00:01:59.709
For the next phase.
00:01:59.709 --> 00:02:01.811
And amidst the atmosphere of revenge following
00:02:02.779 --> 00:02:06.282
The elimination of the leader,
00:02:06.282 --> 00:02:08.585
Ali khamenei of iran,
00:02:08.585 --> 00:02:10.153
A giant banner
00:02:10.153 --> 00:02:11.254
In hebrew was hung
00:02:11.254 --> 00:02:12.689
In palestine square in tehran,
00:02:12.689 --> 00:02:14.958
Featuring an image of the white house and the words,
00:02:14.958 --> 00:02:18.995
Blood for blood,
00:02:18.995 --> 00:02:20.230
An eye for an eye.
00:02:20.230 --> 00:02:22.432
The banner showed coffins of trump, netanyahu, sarah,
00:02:22.432 --> 00:02:26.169
His wife,
00:02:26.169 --> 00:02:26.803
And other senior
00:02:26.803 --> 00:02:27.937
American officials.
00:02:27.937 --> 00:02:29.739
This is the message
00:02:30.206 --> 00:02:31.241
That tehran is trying to send,
00:02:31.241 --> 00:02:32.875
But the question is whether
00:02:32.875 --> 00:02:34.377
It is truly prepared
00:02:34.377 --> 00:02:35.511
To pay the price.
00:02:35.511 --> 00:02:37.080
Deep beneath
00:02:37.413 --> 00:02:38.348
The zagros mountains,
00:02:38.348 --> 00:02:39.949
Near the natanz
00:02:39.949 --> 00:02:41.117
Nuclear facility,
00:02:41.117 --> 00:02:42.418
Iran has spent years digging a mysterious underground complex,
00:02:42.418 --> 00:02:47.023
A site that has not been damaged
00:02:47.023 --> 00:02:49.425
To this day,
00:02:49.425 --> 00:02:50.360
And according
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:51.327
To the assessments,
00:02:51.327 --> 00:02:52.762
May be able
00:02:52.762 --> 00:02:53.596
To withstand even
00:02:53.596 --> 00:02:54.931
The most powerful
00:02:54.931 --> 00:02:56.266
American bunker buster bombs.
00:02:56.266 --> 00:02:58.635
International atomic energy agency
00:02:59.402 --> 00:03:01.571
Inspectors have never entered
00:03:01.571 --> 00:03:03.439
The depth of these tunnels,
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:05.174
And american
00:03:05.174 --> 00:03:05.942
Intelligence continues
00:03:05.942 --> 00:03:07.410
To monitor the site from space.
00:03:07.410 --> 00:03:09.512
Now, amidst the escalation,
00:03:10.113 --> 00:03:12.181
The site that had remained
00:03:12.181 --> 00:03:14.284
Outside the circle of fire
00:03:14.284 --> 00:03:16.352
Is becoming a declared target.
00:03:16.352 --> 00:03:19.188
So, what is really hidden
00:03:19.756 --> 00:03:21.424
Beneath the mountain?
00:03:21.424 --> 00:03:22.992
Is the united states preparing
00:03:23.593 --> 00:03:25.228
To strike the last nuclear
00:03:25.228 --> 00:03:26.663
Facility that iran has managed
00:03:26.663 --> 00:03:28.364
To protect?
00:03:28.364 --> 00:03:29.432
We will bring you all
00:03:29.932 --> 00:03:31.167
The details very shortly.
00:03:31.167 --> 00:03:33.202
And meanwhile,
00:03:33.536 --> 00:03:34.637
The united states
00:03:34.637 --> 00:03:36.039
Is introducing a new
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:37.674
And silent weapon to the arena,
00:03:37.674 --> 00:03:40.176
Fast, long-range, unmanned
00:03:40.176 --> 00:03:42.211
Vessels loaded with explosives.
00:03:42.211 --> 00:03:44.814
According to reports, suicide
00:03:45.448 --> 00:03:47.317
Boats attacked bandar abbas,
00:03:47.317 --> 00:03:49.118
One of iran's most sensitive
00:03:49.118 --> 00:03:50.887
Centers near
00:03:50.887 --> 00:03:51.688
The strait of hormuz.
00:03:51.688 --> 00:03:53.656
Washington is making it clear
00:03:53.656 --> 00:03:55.658
This is not a full-scale offensive,
00:03:55.658 --> 00:03:58.061
But the first
00:03:58.061 --> 00:03:58.995
Test of a new capability,
00:03:58.995 --> 00:04:00.730
A glimpse of what may come
00:04:00.730 --> 00:04:02.565
If the fighting resumes
00:04:02.565 --> 00:04:04.200
With full force.
00:04:04.200 --> 00:04:05.635
Israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu,
00:04:06.569 --> 00:04:08.938
Is also sending a direct message
00:04:08.938 --> 00:04:10.707
To tehran.
00:04:10.707 --> 00:04:11.841
During the negev conference
00:04:11.841 --> 00:04:14.110
In israel's south,
00:04:14.110 --> 00:04:15.445
Near the israeli city of dimona,
00:04:15.445 --> 00:04:17.847
Prime minister netanyahu
00:04:17.847 --> 00:04:19.682
Warned iran's leaders,
00:04:19.682 --> 00:04:21.384
Stating, do not assume
00:04:21.384 --> 00:04:23.019
That there will be calm
00:04:23.019 --> 00:04:24.754
If you attack us.
00:04:24.754 --> 00:04:26.456
Do not expect the same
00:04:26.456 --> 00:04:28.324
Responses before.
00:04:28.324 --> 00:04:30.226
It will be a different
00:04:30.693 --> 00:04:32.228
Response, far more powerful.
00:04:32.228 --> 00:04:35.098
Israel, according
00:04:35.531 --> 00:04:36.499
To the message, is prepared
00:04:36.499 --> 00:04:38.034
For every possible scenario.
00:04:38.034 --> 00:04:39.635
And in the southern arabian peninsula,
00:04:40.470 --> 00:04:42.572
Another front is heating up.
00:04:42.572 --> 00:04:44.640
Powerful explosions were heard
00:04:44.640 --> 00:04:46.342
Overnight in the heart of the houthi stronghold
00:04:46.342 --> 00:04:48.978
In northern yemen.
00:04:48.978 --> 00:04:50.113
Hours after ballistic missiles
00:04:50.713 --> 00:04:52.315
And unmanned aerial vehicles
00:04:52.315 --> 00:04:53.816
Were launched
00:04:53.816 --> 00:04:54.550
Towards saudi arabia.
00:04:54.550 --> 00:04:56.252
Saada province,
00:04:56.619 --> 00:04:57.720
One of the houthi's
00:04:57.720 --> 00:04:59.122
Most heavily fortified regions,
00:04:59.122 --> 00:05:01.424
Was struck
00:05:01.424 --> 00:05:02.191
In a broad wave of attacks.
00:05:02.191 --> 00:05:04.327
Saudi arabia senses weakness,
00:05:04.961 --> 00:05:06.896
And mohammed bin salman now
00:05:06.896 --> 00:05:08.765
Faces a critical decision.
00:05:08.765 --> 00:05:10.933
Was this a limited strike
00:05:11.501 --> 00:05:12.935
Intended to send a message,
00:05:12.935 --> 00:05:14.504
Or the beginning of a new
00:05:14.504 --> 00:05:16.005
Conflict in yemen
00:05:16.005 --> 00:05:17.006
That could ignite another front
00:05:17.006 --> 00:05:18.808
In the middle east?
00:05:18.808 --> 00:05:20.443
Let me know what you think
00:05:21.010 --> 00:05:22.412
About this.
00:05:22.412 --> 00:05:23.546
And in lebanon,
00:05:23.913 --> 00:05:25.014
The government in beirut
00:05:25.014 --> 00:05:26.749
Is facing a critical test.
00:05:26.749 --> 00:05:29.018
The sixth round of negotiations
00:05:29.652 --> 00:05:31.954
Between israel
00:05:31.954 --> 00:05:32.989
And lebanon is expected
00:05:32.989 --> 00:05:34.657
To begin in rome.
00:05:34.657 --> 00:05:36.559
According to the arab reports,
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:39.162
The parties will discuss
00:05:39.162 --> 00:05:40.897
Security teams
00:05:40.897 --> 00:05:41.898
And the transfer of authority
00:05:41.898 --> 00:05:43.900
In withdrawal zones
00:05:43.900 --> 00:05:45.201
To the lebanese armed forces.
00:05:45.201 --> 00:05:47.303
But the major question remains,
00:05:47.937 --> 00:05:50.072
Is lebanon truly
00:05:50.072 --> 00:05:51.240
Capable of enforcing
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:52.675
Hezbollah's disarmament,
00:05:52.675 --> 00:05:54.343
Or will it once again allow
00:05:54.343 --> 00:05:56.245
The terrorist organization
00:05:56.245 --> 00:05:58.080
To control that territory?
00:05:58.080 --> 00:06:00.550
And in the gaza strip,
00:06:01.017 --> 00:06:02.285
The idf continues
00:06:02.285 --> 00:06:03.286
To strike the hamas palestinian
00:06:03.286 --> 00:06:05.121
Terrorist group.
00:06:05.121 --> 00:06:06.456
The terrorist
00:06:06.823 --> 00:06:07.690
Organization confirmed
00:06:07.690 --> 00:06:09.158
That seven police officers
00:06:09.158 --> 00:06:10.827
And commanders were struck
00:06:10.827 --> 00:06:12.495
And terminated in an attack,
00:06:12.495 --> 00:06:14.263
Including the director of the jabalia police
00:06:14.263 --> 00:06:17.066
Station, mohammed marwan salim.
00:06:17.066 --> 00:06:19.535
And at the same time,
00:06:19.535 --> 00:06:20.736
Hamas claims
00:06:20.736 --> 00:06:21.437
That it is making room
00:06:21.437 --> 00:06:22.772
For a technocratic government.
00:06:22.772 --> 00:06:24.874
But nine months
00:06:25.241 --> 00:06:26.108
After the ceasefire,
00:06:26.108 --> 00:06:27.276
It remains the only sovereign
00:06:27.276 --> 00:06:28.945
Power in the gaza strip.
00:06:28.945 --> 00:06:30.780
Therefore, the question is clear, is this a genuine change
00:06:30.780 --> 00:06:34.617
Or yet another cosmetic
00:06:34.617 --> 00:06:36.185
Move by the terrorist
00:06:36.185 --> 00:06:37.620
Organization trying to buy time?
00:06:37.620 --> 00:06:40.289
We have a lot ahead of us,
00:06:40.857 --> 00:06:42.358
So let's dive into the details.
00:06:42.358 --> 00:06:44.794
I'm yair pinto, with me is mati shoshani,
00:06:44.794 --> 00:06:47.196
And we're here
00:06:47.196 --> 00:06:48.030
On boots on the ground.
00:06:48.030 --> 00:06:49.699
We bring you the full truth
00:06:49.699 --> 00:06:51.133
About what's happening in israel
00:06:51.133 --> 00:06:52.869
And about the war
00:06:52.869 --> 00:06:53.803
Against iran's islamic
00:06:53.803 --> 00:06:55.037
Revolutionary guards corps,
00:06:55.037 --> 00:06:56.572
Which is the head of the crumbling axis of evil
00:06:56.572 --> 00:06:59.108
In the middle east.
00:06:59.108 --> 00:07:00.276
And before we begin,
00:07:00.276 --> 00:07:01.244
I want to call on you
00:07:01.244 --> 00:07:02.245

00:07:12.221 --> 00:07:13.756

And most importantly,
00:07:26.335 --> 00:07:27.537
Do not forget to look
00:07:27.537 --> 00:07:28.738
For me, yair pinto,
00:07:28.738 --> 00:07:29.839
And mati shoshani
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:30.806
On our social media platforms
00:07:30.806 --> 00:07:32.475
Like instagram, facebook,
00:07:32.475 --> 00:07:33.910
And others, to see life
00:07:33.910 --> 00:07:35.211
In israel through our eyes.
00:07:35.211 --> 00:07:37.179
And now, we will take
00:07:37.179 --> 00:07:38.347
A short commercial break.
00:07:38.347 --> 00:07:39.882
Afterwards, we will be right
00:07:39.882 --> 00:07:41.751
Back here
00:07:41.751 --> 00:07:42.952
With an in-depth analysis of where this war is heading.
00:07:42.952 --> 00:07:51.000
With an in-depth analysis of where this war is heading.
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:55.477
Now, let's move
00:07:55.844 --> 00:07:56.745
On to an important explainer
00:07:56.745 --> 00:07:58.514
That we prepared especially
00:07:58.514 --> 00:08:00.282
For you,
00:08:00.282 --> 00:08:01.517
Giving you a glimpse into one of the most surprising plays
00:08:01.517 --> 00:08:04.386
That israel is using.
00:08:04.386 --> 00:08:06.121
In the strait of hormuz,
00:08:06.121 --> 00:08:07.656
Civilian vessels are once
00:08:07.656 --> 00:08:09.258
Again changing course.
00:08:09.258 --> 00:08:10.926
Shipping companies
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:12.461
Are receiving real-time alerts,
00:08:12.461 --> 00:08:14.363
And the revolutionary guards in iran are warning that any tanker
00:08:14.363 --> 00:08:18.233
That doesn't move along
00:08:18.233 --> 00:08:19.635
The route they approve
00:08:19.635 --> 00:08:21.036
Could face a military response.
00:08:21.036 --> 00:08:23.539
This is happening while the talks between the united states
00:08:23.539 --> 00:08:27.342
And iran are still taking place.
00:08:27.342 --> 00:08:29.778
While the ceasefire
00:08:29.778 --> 00:08:31.013
Is still being presented
00:08:31.013 --> 00:08:32.548
To the public as active,
00:08:32.548 --> 00:08:34.083
While the american military
00:08:34.083 --> 00:08:35.818
Continues to make clear
00:08:35.818 --> 00:08:37.286
Every violation will be answered
00:08:37.286 --> 00:08:39.321
With force.
00:08:39.321 --> 00:08:40.723
And the question
00:08:40.723 --> 00:08:41.690
Now is very simple,
00:08:41.690 --> 00:08:42.891
Are we really seeing calm,
00:08:42.891 --> 00:08:44.426
Or only a new form of war inside
00:08:44.426 --> 00:08:46.361
One of the most important
00:08:46.361 --> 00:08:47.930
Energy routes
00:08:47.930 --> 00:08:48.731
In the entire world?
00:08:48.731 --> 00:08:50.265
I'm mati shoshani.
00:08:50.699 --> 00:08:51.934
This is exactly the moment
00:08:51.934 --> 00:08:53.602
When we need
00:08:53.602 --> 00:08:54.369
To stop looking only
00:08:54.369 --> 00:08:55.704
At the headlines and go
00:08:55.704 --> 00:08:57.239
Down the waters themselves,
00:08:57.239 --> 00:08:59.041
Because the story of hormuz
00:08:59.041 --> 00:09:00.843
Does not begin only
00:09:00.843 --> 00:09:02.111
In the negotiations in doha,
00:09:02.111 --> 00:09:03.912
Not only in the threats
00:09:03.912 --> 00:09:05.447
From tehran,
00:09:05.447 --> 00:09:06.248
And not only
00:09:06.248 --> 00:09:07.049
In trump's statements.
00:09:07.049 --> 00:09:09.084
It begins in a narrow, crowded,
00:09:09.084 --> 00:09:11.019
Nervous maritime space
00:09:11.019 --> 00:09:12.421
Where every small
00:09:12.421 --> 00:09:13.555
Boat can become
00:09:13.555 --> 00:09:14.556
An international incident,
00:09:14.556 --> 00:09:16.225
And every decision by a captain
00:09:16.225 --> 00:09:18.227
On board,
00:09:18.227 --> 00:09:18.794
On board a tanker,
00:09:18.794 --> 00:09:19.928
Can affect the price of fuel
00:09:19.928 --> 00:09:21.730
On the other side of the world.
00:09:21.730 --> 00:09:29.304
Now, in recent days, the framework has been very clear.
00:09:30.372 --> 00:09:33.575
On the one side,
00:09:33.976 --> 00:09:34.877
There's a temporary agreement
00:09:34.877 --> 00:09:36.512
That speaks about free passage
00:09:36.512 --> 00:09:38.247
Through the strait of hormuz
00:09:38.247 --> 00:09:39.915
For a limited period.
00:09:39.915 --> 00:09:41.416
On the other side,
00:09:41.850 --> 00:09:42.885
Iran is making clear
00:09:42.885 --> 00:09:44.119
That it does not intend
00:09:44.119 --> 00:09:45.487
To give up actual control.
00:09:45.487 --> 00:09:47.656
It wants the ships to coordinate, it wants to approve,
00:09:47.656 --> 00:09:50.793
It wants to supervise,
00:09:50.793 --> 00:09:52.094
And later it also wants
00:09:52.094 --> 00:09:53.428
To collect money.
00:09:53.428 --> 00:09:54.596
Not a simple fee
00:09:54.997 --> 00:09:55.998
For port services,
00:09:55.998 --> 00:09:57.132
But a mechanism of power
00:09:57.132 --> 00:09:58.634
And control.
00:09:58.634 --> 00:10:00.068
From the point of view of the revolutionary guards,
00:10:00.068 --> 00:10:02.971
The question is not only
00:10:02.971 --> 00:10:04.373
Whether a ship can pass,
00:10:04.373 --> 00:10:05.774
The question is who gave
00:10:05.774 --> 00:10:07.176
It permission to pass.
00:10:07.176 --> 00:10:08.811
This is where oman
00:10:09.244 --> 00:10:10.078
Enters the picture.
00:10:10.078 --> 00:10:11.213
The southern route near
00:10:11.713 --> 00:10:13.081
The coast of oman has become
00:10:13.081 --> 00:10:14.750
For the american
00:10:14.750 --> 00:10:15.717
And gulf states an attempt
00:10:15.717 --> 00:10:17.219
To bypass the iranian grip.
00:10:17.219 --> 00:10:18.754
If the ships pass
00:10:18.754 --> 00:10:19.788
On the omani side,
00:10:19.788 --> 00:10:20.889
They're less exposed
00:10:20.889 --> 00:10:22.124
To direct pressure
00:10:22.124 --> 00:10:23.225
From the revolutionary guards.
00:10:23.225 --> 00:10:25.027
But from iran's point of view,
00:10:25.627 --> 00:10:27.262
That is exactly the problem.
00:10:27.262 --> 00:10:28.897
Tehran sees this as an attempt
00:10:29.498 --> 00:10:31.233
To take away its central card.
00:10:31.233 --> 00:10:33.035
That's why it threatens, that's
00:10:33.669 --> 00:10:35.704
Why it warns, tests the limits,
00:10:35.704 --> 00:10:37.739
And sometimes also
00:10:37.739 --> 00:10:38.941
Allows small incidents
00:10:38.941 --> 00:10:40.409
To roll into much bigger ones.
00:10:40.409 --> 00:10:42.778
Now, we need to understand
00:10:42.778 --> 00:10:43.979
The operational logic.
00:10:43.979 --> 00:10:45.080
Iran does not have to destroy
00:10:45.714 --> 00:10:47.115
A tanker in order
00:10:47.115 --> 00:10:47.950
To close the strait of hormuz.
00:10:47.950 --> 00:10:49.585
It does not even
00:10:49.985 --> 00:10:50.652
Have to seriously damage one.
00:10:50.652 --> 00:10:52.054
It's sufficient
00:10:52.421 --> 00:10:53.255
For it for one vessel
00:10:53.255 --> 00:10:54.389
To receive a missile warning.
00:10:54.389 --> 00:10:56.525
It's enough for a fast boat
00:10:56.525 --> 00:10:57.860
To approach aggressively.
00:10:57.860 --> 00:10:59.595
It's sufficient for a drone
00:10:59.595 --> 00:11:01.363
To hit in the right area,
00:11:01.363 --> 00:11:03.031
And immediately insurance
00:11:03.031 --> 00:11:04.700
Companies raise prices,
00:11:04.700 --> 00:11:06.235
Captains change course,
00:11:06.235 --> 00:11:07.769
Ship owners stop sailing,
00:11:07.769 --> 00:11:09.404
And the gulf states begin
00:11:09.404 --> 00:11:11.073
To recalculate their risk.
00:11:11.073 --> 00:11:13.375
This is iran's most effective
00:11:13.375 --> 00:11:15.344
Weapon in the measured fear,
00:11:15.344 --> 00:11:17.246
Controlled fear, cheap fear,
00:11:17.246 --> 00:11:19.147
And fear that is very difficult
00:11:19.147 --> 00:11:21.216
To neutralize completely.
00:11:21.216 --> 00:11:23.352
Now, from here,
00:11:23.719 --> 00:11:24.920
We arrive at the technology of the revolutionary guards.
00:11:24.920 --> 00:11:27.923
Not the ballistic missile,
00:11:27.923 --> 00:11:29.725
Not the nuclear facility,
00:11:29.725 --> 00:11:31.460
Not the large drone that appeared in propaganda images,
00:11:31.460 --> 00:11:35.330
But the small boats,
00:11:35.330 --> 00:11:36.765
The mosquito fleet,
00:11:36.765 --> 00:11:38.100
Thousands of fast, low,
00:11:38.100 --> 00:11:39.701
Relatively cheap vessels,
00:11:39.701 --> 00:11:41.436
Some of which are armed with machine guns, some with rockets,
00:11:41.436 --> 00:11:45.674
Some with anti-ship missiles,
00:11:45.674 --> 00:11:47.676
And some used for deception,
00:11:47.676 --> 00:11:49.645
Observation, escort, or attack.
00:11:49.645 --> 00:11:51.880
At a first glance,
00:11:52.314 --> 00:11:53.482
It almost seems illogical.
00:11:53.482 --> 00:11:55.284
How can a small boat
00:11:55.751 --> 00:11:57.119
Harass a superpower,
00:11:57.119 --> 00:11:58.520
Like the united states?
00:11:58.520 --> 00:12:00.889
How is such a vessel supposed to survive against a fighter jet,
00:12:00.889 --> 00:12:04.826
An apache helicopter,
00:12:04.826 --> 00:12:06.128
An a-10, an american destroyer,
00:12:06.128 --> 00:12:08.063
Or even an advanced
00:12:08.063 --> 00:12:09.264
Reconnaissance drone?
00:12:09.264 --> 00:12:10.999
The answer is that the sea
00:12:11.566 --> 00:12:12.901
Changes the rules of the game.
00:12:12.901 --> 00:12:14.836
Now, on land,
00:12:15.203 --> 00:12:16.038
A tank needs a road, a valley,
00:12:16.038 --> 00:12:17.940
An access route, a bridge,
00:12:17.940 --> 00:12:19.541
Terrain it can move through.
00:12:19.541 --> 00:12:21.376
But at sea, especially
00:12:21.843 --> 00:12:23.211
In an area like hormuz,
00:12:23.211 --> 00:12:24.646
There's very wide space,
00:12:24.646 --> 00:12:26.114
Almost without natural
00:12:26.114 --> 00:12:27.516
Movement barriers.
00:12:27.516 --> 00:12:29.051
A small boat can come out of a bay, hide near the coastline,
00:12:29.051 --> 00:12:32.654
Change direction quickly,
00:12:32.654 --> 00:12:34.156
Blend into the noise of civilian traffic,
00:12:34.156 --> 00:12:36.625
And disappear back
00:12:36.625 --> 00:12:37.693
Into complicated coastal areas.
00:12:37.693 --> 00:12:39.761
The surface of the sea also
00:12:40.362 --> 00:12:41.663
Makes detection harder.
00:12:41.663 --> 00:12:43.098
Radar sees reflections
00:12:43.565 --> 00:12:44.599
From the waves.
00:12:44.599 --> 00:12:45.968
The radar signature of a small
00:12:45.968 --> 00:12:47.602
Hull made of fiberglass or composite material is very low.
00:12:47.602 --> 00:12:50.872
And if there is no precise
00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:52.908
Advanced intelligence,
00:12:52.908 --> 00:12:54.176
A very large area
00:12:54.176 --> 00:12:55.143
Has to be covered
00:12:55.143 --> 00:12:56.144
By sensors operating constantly.
00:12:56.144 --> 00:12:58.246
Now, that is why the americans
00:12:58.847 --> 00:13:00.849
Operate systems in the area,
00:13:00.849 --> 00:13:02.751
Such as maritime patrol
00:13:02.751 --> 00:13:04.319
Aircraft, long endurance drones,
00:13:04.319 --> 00:13:06.521
Surface ships,
00:13:06.521 --> 00:13:07.456
And electronic intelligence.
00:13:07.456 --> 00:13:09.491
But even
00:13:09.758 --> 00:13:10.392
When the boat is detected,
00:13:10.392 --> 00:13:11.626
The problem isn't over.
00:13:11.626 --> 00:13:12.995
A fast fighter jet can arrive,
00:13:13.595 --> 00:13:15.297
But it's not always easy
00:13:15.297 --> 00:13:16.698
For it to hit a small target
00:13:16.698 --> 00:13:18.333
That is moving quickly,
00:13:18.333 --> 00:13:19.701
Especially if it arrives without
00:13:19.701 --> 00:13:21.536
Much time in the area
00:13:21.536 --> 00:13:22.771
And without several attempts
00:13:22.771 --> 00:13:24.439
To fire.
00:13:24.439 --> 00:13:25.707
An a-10 can stay longer
00:13:25.707 --> 00:13:27.009
And fire more accurately,
00:13:27.009 --> 00:13:28.443
But it is more vulnerable
00:13:28.443 --> 00:13:29.878
To threats from land and sea.
00:13:29.878 --> 00:13:32.147
And some of the iranian boats
00:13:32.147 --> 00:13:33.415
Already have short-range
00:13:33.415 --> 00:13:34.449
Anti-aircraft missiles.
00:13:34.449 --> 00:13:35.550
An apache or seahawk helicopter
00:13:36.184 --> 00:13:38.420
Can aim better, see better,
00:13:38.420 --> 00:13:40.355
And chase a small
00:13:40.355 --> 00:13:41.556
Target more naturally.
00:13:41.556 --> 00:13:43.358
But a helicopter
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:44.459
Has limits of speed and range.
00:13:44.459 --> 00:13:45.994
If the boats
00:13:46.328 --> 00:13:47.062
Are detected too late,
00:13:47.062 --> 00:13:48.363
The helicopter
00:13:48.363 --> 00:13:49.197
Will not always arrive in time
00:13:49.197 --> 00:13:50.966
Before they launch, escape,
00:13:50.966 --> 00:13:52.501
Or enter a hiding place.
00:13:52.501 --> 00:13:54.136
This story began back
00:13:54.636 --> 00:13:56.171
In the iran-iraq war,
00:13:56.171 --> 00:13:57.706
In the early 1980s.
00:13:57.706 --> 00:13:59.107
Iran purchased fast
00:13:59.574 --> 00:14:00.675
Patrol boats, armed them
00:14:00.675 --> 00:14:02.077
With machine guns, rockets,
00:14:02.077 --> 00:14:03.645
And rpg launchers,
00:14:03.645 --> 00:14:04.646
And turned them into attack
00:14:04.646 --> 00:14:06.214
Vessels against shipping.
00:14:06.214 --> 00:14:08.150
The goal then was to damage
00:14:08.150 --> 00:14:09.785
Iraq's economy through the sea.
00:14:09.785 --> 00:14:11.787
But in practice,
00:14:12.187 --> 00:14:12.988
Most of the attacks
00:14:12.988 --> 00:14:13.955
Did not sink large ships,
00:14:13.955 --> 00:14:15.223
But they achieved
00:14:15.223 --> 00:14:16.091
Something more important
00:14:16.091 --> 00:14:17.292
From iran's point of view.
00:14:17.292 --> 00:14:19.194
They showed shipping companies
00:14:19.194 --> 00:14:21.163
That the gulf
00:14:21.163 --> 00:14:22.064
Could become an area
00:14:22.064 --> 00:14:23.398
Where every voyage is a gamble.
00:14:23.398 --> 00:14:25.534
By the end of the war,
00:14:26.001 --> 00:14:27.102
Dozens of vessels had been attacked by iranian boats.
00:14:27.102 --> 00:14:29.771
The physical damage
00:14:30.238 --> 00:14:31.406
Was relatively limited
00:14:31.406 --> 00:14:32.741
In some cases,
00:14:32.741 --> 00:14:33.608
But the psychological
00:14:33.608 --> 00:14:34.843
Damage was enormous.
00:14:34.843 --> 00:14:36.411
And since then, the iranians
00:14:37.012 --> 00:14:38.547
Have not given up on the idea.
00:14:38.547 --> 00:14:40.549
They improved it, they bought
00:14:40.549 --> 00:14:42.150
Fast boats from abroad,
00:14:42.150 --> 00:14:43.418
They dismantled them,
00:14:43.418 --> 00:14:44.553
They studied them,
00:14:44.553 --> 00:14:45.587
They copied them,
00:14:45.587 --> 00:14:46.521
And turned them
00:14:46.521 --> 00:14:47.355
Into fighting platforms.
00:14:47.355 --> 00:14:48.924
Sport boats became
00:14:49.357 --> 00:14:50.459
Attack vessels,
00:14:50.459 --> 00:14:51.426
Police boats received missiles,
00:14:51.426 --> 00:14:53.295
Especially fast models received
00:14:53.295 --> 00:14:55.197
Radars, weapon systems,
00:14:55.197 --> 00:14:56.598
And powerful engines.
00:14:56.598 --> 00:14:57.899
Some of the numbers published
00:14:58.533 --> 00:15:00.302
By the iranians
00:15:00.302 --> 00:15:01.236
Are certainly propaganda,
00:15:01.236 --> 00:15:02.804
But the direction is clear.
00:15:02.804 --> 00:15:04.739
The revolutionary guards
00:15:05.273 --> 00:15:06.508
Did not build a navy meant
00:15:06.508 --> 00:15:07.843
To defeat the american navy
00:15:07.843 --> 00:15:09.177
In a classic battle.
00:15:09.177 --> 00:15:10.679
They built a system meant
00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:12.114
To harass, to delay, frighten,
00:15:12.114 --> 00:15:13.815
And impose a price.
00:15:13.815 --> 00:15:15.750
This is exactly the essence of asymmetrical warfare.
00:15:15.750 --> 00:15:18.653
You don't try to be stronger
00:15:19.254 --> 00:15:20.622
Than the enemy in every field.
00:15:20.622 --> 00:15:22.724
You look for a point where his advantage becomes cumbersome,
00:15:22.724 --> 00:15:25.794
Becomes a disadvantage.
00:15:25.794 --> 00:15:27.329
The americans have large ships,
00:15:27.963 --> 00:15:29.731
Advanced aircraft,
00:15:29.731 --> 00:15:30.799
Some of the best intelligence
00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:32.501
Systems in the entire world,
00:15:32.501 --> 00:15:34.169
And the ability to strike
00:15:34.169 --> 00:15:35.604
Precisely deep inside iran.
00:15:35.604 --> 00:15:37.572
But against a small boat
00:15:37.572 --> 00:15:38.907
That comes out for a few
00:15:38.907 --> 00:15:40.275
Minutes, launches,
00:15:40.275 --> 00:15:41.309
And hides, even a superpower
00:15:41.309 --> 00:15:42.878
Has to work hard.
00:15:42.878 --> 00:15:44.379
That's to identify the target
00:15:44.379 --> 00:15:46.081
In time, to approve fire,
00:15:46.081 --> 00:15:47.549
To make sure the target
00:15:47.549 --> 00:15:48.917
Is not civilian,
00:15:48.917 --> 00:15:49.885
To hit without causing
00:15:49.885 --> 00:15:51.219
Collateral damage,
00:15:51.219 --> 00:15:52.320
And then do it again
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:53.522
Against another boat,
00:15:53.522 --> 00:15:54.823
And another boat,
00:15:54.823 --> 00:15:55.790
And yet another boat.
00:15:55.790 --> 00:15:59.594
What you see on youtube
00:16:00.095 --> 00:16:01.396
Is only part of the story.
00:16:01.396 --> 00:16:03.131
Get closer
00:16:03.431 --> 00:16:04.299
To first-hand reports,
00:16:04.299 --> 00:16:06.268
Behind-the -scenes moments,
00:16:06.268 --> 00:16:08.103
And stories of faith, resilience,
00:16:08.103 --> 00:16:09.871
And hope from israel
00:16:09.871 --> 00:16:11.439
At www.tbn.org/journeys/boots
00:16:11.439 --> 00:16:16.878
Or more importantly

Text boots b-o-o-t-s

From tbn israel.
00:16:22.784 --> 00:16:24.653
With me mati shoshani
00:16:24.653 --> 00:16:25.820
And yair reporting directly
00:16:25.820 --> 00:16:27.355
From the ground,
00:16:27.355 --> 00:16:28.290
You're not just
00:16:28.290 --> 00:16:29.157
Watching the news,
00:16:29.157 --> 00:16:30.158
You're witnessing
00:16:30.158 --> 00:16:31.126
What's happening here
00:16:31.126 --> 00:16:32.327
In israel with live coverage.
00:16:32.327 --> 00:16:34.029
And here we shape what's really
00:16:34.663 --> 00:16:36.631
Happening through judeo-christian
00:16:36.631 --> 00:16:38.767
Perspective rooted
00:16:38.767 --> 00:16:39.935
In truth, faith,
00:16:39.935 --> 00:16:40.936
And the people
00:16:40.936 --> 00:16:41.836
Living it every day.
00:16:41.836 --> 00:16:43.205
Your support helps deliver
00:16:43.772 --> 00:16:45.307
On-the-ground reporting,
00:16:45.307 --> 00:16:46.741
Real stories of resilience
00:16:46.741 --> 00:16:48.310
And hope,
00:16:48.310 --> 00:16:49.477
And trusted coverage that connects you, people of faith,
00:16:49.477 --> 00:16:52.147
To the land of israel.
00:16:52.147 --> 00:16:53.748
Let's get back to our story.
00:16:54.349 --> 00:16:55.784
The iranians add another layer
00:16:56.384 --> 00:16:57.719
To all of this. concealment.
00:16:57.719 --> 00:16:59.788
Along their coastline,
00:16:59.788 --> 00:17:01.223
They have built
00:17:01.223 --> 00:17:02.224
Camouflaged areas, tunnels,
00:17:02.224 --> 00:17:03.992
Openings, small anchorages,
00:17:03.992 --> 00:17:05.727
And sites that allow boats
00:17:05.727 --> 00:17:07.395
To enter the water quickly
00:17:07.395 --> 00:17:09.064
And return before the enemy has had sufficient time to respond.
00:17:09.064 --> 00:17:13.635
Now when the vessels
00:17:14.102 --> 00:17:15.036
Are in an exposed port,
00:17:15.036 --> 00:17:16.104
It is easier to strike them.
00:17:16.104 --> 00:17:17.405
When they are scattered
00:17:17.906 --> 00:17:19.174
Inside a rocky coastline,
00:17:19.174 --> 00:17:20.542
Inside warehouses, tunnels,
00:17:20.542 --> 00:17:22.010
And camouflaged shafts,
00:17:22.010 --> 00:17:23.245
The mission becomes
00:17:23.245 --> 00:17:24.312
More complicated.
00:17:24.312 --> 00:17:25.814
A single strike can destroy
00:17:25.814 --> 00:17:27.249
Dozens of vessels,
00:17:27.249 --> 00:17:28.183
But not necessarily dismantle
00:17:28.183 --> 00:17:29.718
The system entirely.
00:17:29.718 --> 00:17:31.186
The third element
00:17:31.620 --> 00:17:32.787
Is the operational culture of the revolutionary guards.
00:17:32.787 --> 00:17:36.258
They're willing to sacrifice
00:17:36.858 --> 00:17:38.360
Crews and boats in order
00:17:38.360 --> 00:17:39.661
To create an image of victory,
00:17:39.661 --> 00:17:41.229
To carry
00:17:41.229 --> 00:17:41.863
Out deception operations,
00:17:41.863 --> 00:17:43.031
Or open a window
00:17:43.031 --> 00:17:43.898
For another force.
00:17:43.898 --> 00:17:45.433
From their point of view,
00:17:45.433 --> 00:17:47.002
Small boats
00:17:47.002 --> 00:17:47.702
With several fighters
00:17:47.702 --> 00:17:49.037
Can be expendable tools.
00:17:49.037 --> 00:17:51.273
From the point of view of western countries,
00:17:51.273 --> 00:17:53.842
Every shot fired at it requires
00:17:53.842 --> 00:17:55.710
Legal operational intelligence
00:17:55.710 --> 00:17:57.512
And political consideration.
00:17:57.512 --> 00:17:59.281
This gap creates room
00:17:59.781 --> 00:18:01.349
For iran to take action,
00:18:01.349 --> 00:18:03.151
Not because it's stronger,
00:18:03.151 --> 00:18:05.053
But because it's willing to play
00:18:05.053 --> 00:18:07.355
On the edge of escalation time
00:18:07.355 --> 00:18:09.591
And time again.
00:18:09.591 --> 00:18:12.060
Now comes
00:18:12.360 --> 00:18:12.927
The american connection,
00:18:12.927 --> 00:18:14.429
Because hormuz does not only
00:18:14.429 --> 00:18:16.197
Expose the iranian methodology,
00:18:16.197 --> 00:18:18.099
It also exposes the limitations of the classic american tools.
00:18:18.099 --> 00:18:22.203
For decades,
00:18:22.537 --> 00:18:23.138
The black hawk helicopter
00:18:23.138 --> 00:18:24.439
Was one of the great
00:18:24.439 --> 00:18:25.473
Symbols of american power.
00:18:25.473 --> 00:18:27.275
It inserted forces,
00:18:27.742 --> 00:18:28.943
Evacuated wounded soldiers,
00:18:28.943 --> 00:18:30.679
Delivered supplies,
00:18:30.679 --> 00:18:31.946
Operated in iraq,
00:18:31.946 --> 00:18:33.048
In afghanistan,
00:18:33.048 --> 00:18:34.015
In special operations,
00:18:34.015 --> 00:18:35.350
In natural disasters,
00:18:35.350 --> 00:18:36.651
And in almost every arena
00:18:36.651 --> 00:18:38.219
Where the united states needed
00:18:38.219 --> 00:18:40.121
To put people into the field
00:18:40.121 --> 00:18:41.923
And get them out quickly.
00:18:41.923 --> 00:18:43.925
It's reliable, tough tool, and relatively simple to operate.
00:18:43.925 --> 00:18:48.129
But the world
00:18:48.496 --> 00:18:49.030
In which the black hawk
00:18:49.030 --> 00:18:50.031
Was born no longer exists.
00:18:50.031 --> 00:18:51.466
The battlefield
00:18:51.833 --> 00:18:52.734
Has become wider, faster,
00:18:52.734 --> 00:18:54.269
More filled
00:18:54.269 --> 00:18:54.969
With sensors, missiles,
00:18:54.969 --> 00:18:56.371
Drones, anti-aircraft threats,
00:18:56.371 --> 00:18:58.173
And environments where a force
00:18:58.173 --> 00:18:59.974
Has to reach far without relying
00:18:59.974 --> 00:19:01.910
On a vulnerable forward base.
00:19:01.910 --> 00:19:03.778
And when we look at hormuz,
00:19:04.379 --> 00:19:05.714
We see exactly the problem.
00:19:05.714 --> 00:19:07.315
Sometimes the threat
00:19:07.782 --> 00:19:08.883
Takes place away.
00:19:08.883 --> 00:19:10.218
Sometimes it disappears
00:19:10.218 --> 00:19:11.252
Within minutes.
00:19:11.252 --> 00:19:12.420
If the helicopter arrives late,
00:19:12.420 --> 00:19:14.089
It no longer affects the event.
00:19:14.089 --> 00:19:15.757
It reaches the arena
00:19:16.224 --> 00:19:17.325
After the boat has already
00:19:17.325 --> 00:19:18.793
Returned to its hiding place,
00:19:18.793 --> 00:19:20.428
After the tanker
00:19:20.428 --> 00:19:21.329
Has already turned back,
00:19:21.329 --> 00:19:22.664
And after the headline has already gone out to the world.
00:19:22.664 --> 00:19:26.134
This is where the mv-75
00:19:26.634 --> 00:19:28.269
Enters the picture,
00:19:28.269 --> 00:19:29.637
The new cheyenne of the united states army.
00:19:29.637 --> 00:19:33.208
This is not a regular helicopter.
00:19:33.208 --> 00:19:35.009
It is a tilt rotor,
00:19:35.009 --> 00:19:36.144
An aircraft
00:19:36.144 --> 00:19:36.811
That takes off and lands
00:19:36.811 --> 00:19:38.279
Vertically like a helicopter,
00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:40.048
But in forward flight behaves
00:19:40.048 --> 00:19:41.783
More like an airplane.
00:19:41.783 --> 00:19:43.184
Its rotors tilt forward,
00:19:43.718 --> 00:19:45.153
The wings generate lift,
00:19:45.153 --> 00:19:46.588
And it can fly much faster
00:19:46.588 --> 00:19:48.156
And much farther than a classic
00:19:48.156 --> 00:19:50.024
Assault helicopter.
00:19:50.024 --> 00:19:51.760
The operational idea is simple.
00:19:51.760 --> 00:19:53.995
Bring a force of medics, of equipment,
00:19:53.995 --> 00:19:56.664
Or intelligence
00:19:56.664 --> 00:19:57.799
To a more distant point
00:19:57.799 --> 00:19:59.501
In a short amount of time
00:19:59.501 --> 00:20:01.336
And from a safe launch area.
00:20:01.336 --> 00:20:03.471
In the terms of hormuz,
00:20:03.972 --> 00:20:05.206
This is not just speed for the sake of technological record.
00:20:05.206 --> 00:20:08.343
This is speed
00:20:08.710 --> 00:20:09.411
As an operational capability.
00:20:09.411 --> 00:20:10.879
If an iranian boat
00:20:11.312 --> 00:20:12.347
Goes out to attack,
00:20:12.347 --> 00:20:13.448
And the responding
00:20:13.448 --> 00:20:14.516
Force is too far away,
00:20:14.516 --> 00:20:15.817
The event unfolds
00:20:15.817 --> 00:20:16.818
At the pace of the iranians.
00:20:16.818 --> 00:20:18.520
But if an aircraft can cover
00:20:19.120 --> 00:20:20.655
Hundreds of kilometers faster,
00:20:20.655 --> 00:20:22.257
Carry teams or systems, receive
00:20:22.257 --> 00:20:23.958
Intelligence during flight,
00:20:23.958 --> 00:20:25.427
And operate across
00:20:25.427 --> 00:20:26.428
A wide maritime
00:20:26.428 --> 00:20:27.262
Space without stopping again
00:20:27.262 --> 00:20:28.763
And again to refuel,
00:20:28.763 --> 00:20:29.864
Then it changes
00:20:29.864 --> 00:20:30.698
The timing of the battle.
00:20:30.698 --> 00:20:32.233
It doesn't eliminate
00:20:32.700 --> 00:20:33.668
The mosquito fleet,
00:20:33.668 --> 00:20:34.569
But it shortens the window
00:20:34.569 --> 00:20:35.804
In which the boats feel safe
00:20:35.804 --> 00:20:37.172
To operate.
00:20:37.172 --> 00:20:38.473
The mv-75 expresses a deep shift
00:20:38.473 --> 00:20:40.575
In american thinking.
00:20:40.575 --> 00:20:41.976
Not only a helicopter that comes
00:20:42.610 --> 00:20:44.479
From the nearest base,
00:20:44.479 --> 00:20:45.747
But a system
00:20:45.747 --> 00:20:46.481
That connects range, speed,
00:20:46.481 --> 00:20:48.049
Communications, intelligence,
00:20:48.049 --> 00:20:49.717
And the ability to operate
00:20:49.717 --> 00:20:51.252
In a threatened environment.
00:20:51.252 --> 00:20:53.188
It is intended
00:20:53.521 --> 00:20:54.389
For assault missions,
00:20:54.389 --> 00:20:55.723
For medical evacuation,
00:20:55.723 --> 00:20:57.125
Supply runs, troop transport,
00:20:57.125 --> 00:20:58.860
And in the future,
00:20:58.860 --> 00:20:59.928
There may also be armed versions
00:20:59.928 --> 00:21:01.863
Or versions adapted
00:21:01.863 --> 00:21:03.031
To the maritime arena.
00:21:03.031 --> 00:21:04.699
If you had small drones,
00:21:05.233 --> 00:21:06.501
Advanced sensors,
00:21:06.501 --> 00:21:07.402
And a connection to other
00:21:07.402 --> 00:21:08.703
Maritime and aerial systems,
00:21:08.703 --> 00:21:10.205
You get a tool that can be part of a broad hunting network.
00:21:10.205 --> 00:21:13.708
Not only a transport tool, but a node inside a combat system.
00:21:13.708 --> 00:21:17.645
But as always
00:21:18.012 --> 00:21:18.746
In military technology,
00:21:18.746 --> 00:21:20.048
There's no magic
00:21:20.048 --> 00:21:20.949
Without a price.
00:21:20.949 --> 00:21:22.083
A tilt rotor
00:21:22.417 --> 00:21:23.151
Has great advantages,
00:21:23.151 --> 00:21:24.452
But also compromises.
00:21:24.452 --> 00:21:25.720
It's larger, wider,
00:21:26.187 --> 00:21:27.222
And more complex
00:21:27.222 --> 00:21:28.122
Than a classic helicopter.
00:21:28.122 --> 00:21:29.724
During fast flight,
00:21:30.191 --> 00:21:31.125
It benefits from speed
00:21:31.125 --> 00:21:32.260
That reduces exposure.
00:21:32.260 --> 00:21:33.361
But during landing and takeoff,
00:21:33.361 --> 00:21:35.029
Or hovering close to the ground,
00:21:35.029 --> 00:21:36.798
It is still very vulnerable.
00:21:36.798 --> 00:21:38.933
Wide wings and engine housings
00:21:38.933 --> 00:21:40.368
And the edges create
00:21:40.368 --> 00:21:41.336
A larger target area.
00:21:41.336 --> 00:21:42.403
A hit to the engine,
00:21:42.871 --> 00:21:43.972
The transmission,
00:21:43.972 --> 00:21:45.139
Or the wing system can be more complex than a similar hit
00:21:45.139 --> 00:21:47.942
To a regular helicopter.
00:21:47.942 --> 00:21:49.410
So the question is not whether
00:21:50.011 --> 00:21:51.579
The mv -75 is perfect.
00:21:51.579 --> 00:21:52.814
It isn't.
00:21:53.114 --> 00:21:54.115
The question is whether
00:21:54.115 --> 00:21:55.517
Its compromises
00:21:55.517 --> 00:21:56.417
Fit the new battlefield.
00:21:56.417 --> 00:21:58.286
And the americans,
00:21:58.720 --> 00:21:59.821
At least for now,
00:21:59.821 --> 00:22:00.922
Think that the answer is yes.
00:22:00.922 --> 00:22:05.393
The battle in hormuz
00:22:05.860 --> 00:22:07.028
Has not yet been decided,
00:22:07.028 --> 00:22:08.429
And it will not be decided
00:22:08.429 --> 00:22:09.931
Only by who fires first,
00:22:09.931 --> 00:22:11.299
But by who manages to control
00:22:11.299 --> 00:22:12.934
The pace of the next event.
00:22:12.934 --> 00:22:14.502
And if one boat can change
00:22:15.069 --> 00:22:16.604
The course of a tanker,
00:22:16.604 --> 00:22:17.972
What will happen if iran decides
00:22:17.972 --> 00:22:19.841
To turn the entire strait once
00:22:19.841 --> 00:22:21.676
Again into a testing ground
00:22:21.676 --> 00:22:23.278
For low-intensity,
00:22:23.278 --> 00:22:24.345
Ongoing warfare?
00:22:24.345 --> 00:22:25.947
Guys, keep spreading the truth,
00:22:25.947 --> 00:22:27.649
Follow us,
00:22:27.649 --> 00:22:28.182
And most importantly,
00:22:28.182 --> 00:22:29.317
Don't forget
00:22:29.317 --> 00:22:29.984
To click the subscribe button
00:22:29.984 --> 00:22:31.653
So that you stay tuned
00:22:31.653 --> 00:22:32.854
To the truth in real time,
00:22:32.854 --> 00:22:34.289
Never miss boots on the ground,
00:22:34.289 --> 00:22:35.957
And keep looking
00:22:35.957 --> 00:22:36.858
For me, mati shoshani,
00:22:36.858 --> 00:22:38.092
And yair pinto on social media
00:22:38.092 --> 00:22:39.727
To see life in israel
00:22:39.727 --> 00:22:40.895
Through our eyes.
00:22:40.895 --> 00:22:41.963
And at last,
00:22:42.297 --> 00:22:42.864
As always,
00:22:42.864 --> 00:22:43.331
A reminder to pray
00:22:43.331 --> 00:22:44.232
For what's happening
00:22:44.232 --> 00:22:45.199
In this part of the world.
00:22:45.199 --> 00:22:46.868
Pray for our leaders,
00:22:46.868 --> 00:22:47.969
Both president trump
00:22:47.969 --> 00:22:49.037
And prime minister netanyahu,
00:22:49.037 --> 00:22:50.572
Pray for our soldiers, pray
00:22:50.572 --> 00:22:51.973
For the safety of our people,
00:22:51.973 --> 00:22:53.474
And above all,
00:22:53.474 --> 00:22:54.676
For the replacement of the regime both in iran and lebanon.
00:22:54.676 --> 00:22:57.445
Well, lebanon is working
00:22:57.445 --> 00:22:58.947
On that in syria and, of course,
00:22:58.947 --> 00:23:00.982
In the gaza strip,
00:23:00.982 --> 00:23:02.083
And may god bless you all.
00:23:02.083 --> 00:23:08.723
We hope you enjoyed this report.
00:23:09.357 --> 00:23:11.192
Now, we will take
00:23:11.626 --> 00:23:12.694
A short commercial break,
00:23:12.694 --> 00:23:14.295
After which we will return here
00:23:14.295 --> 00:23:16.230
So that we can pray together
00:23:16.230 --> 00:23:18.032
For the peace of jerusalem.
00:23:18.032 --> 00:23:24.995
For the peace of jerusalem.
00:23:24.995 --> 00:23:29.527
Thank you very much
00:23:29.994 --> 00:23:31.062
For coming back.
00:23:31.062 --> 00:23:32.063
Now, this is the most important
00:23:32.063 --> 00:23:34.265
Part of this show,
00:23:34.265 --> 00:23:35.533
Which is to pray and ask god to take control of the situation.
00:23:35.533 --> 00:23:40.037
Since the beginning of this battle,
00:23:40.805 --> 00:23:43.141
When i was called to fight
00:23:43.141 --> 00:23:44.876
In the gaza strip together
00:23:44.876 --> 00:23:46.677
With hundreds of thousands of israelis,
00:23:46.677 --> 00:23:49.347
Including mati and other members of our tbn israel team,
00:23:49.347 --> 00:23:53.284
We realized
00:23:53.284 --> 00:23:54.051
That this is a spiritual war.
00:23:54.051 --> 00:23:56.254
That was the only explanation.
00:23:56.854 --> 00:23:58.523
There is no other explanation
00:23:58.523 --> 00:24:00.892
Why all these nations
00:24:00.892 --> 00:24:02.593
Will have this supernatural hate
00:24:02.593 --> 00:24:05.129
Against israel.
00:24:05.129 --> 00:24:06.864
But what i also learned is when
00:24:07.498 --> 00:24:09.767
There is supernatural hate,
00:24:09.767 --> 00:24:11.736
There is also supernatural love.
00:24:11.736 --> 00:24:14.605
And god can use any challenge
00:24:14.605 --> 00:24:16.841
And any obstacle
00:24:16.841 --> 00:24:18.109
And turn it into an amazing
00:24:18.109 --> 00:24:20.244
Opportunity to share
00:24:20.244 --> 00:24:21.846
His love around the world.
00:24:21.846 --> 00:24:23.981
And that's what i felt,
00:24:24.482 --> 00:24:25.616
And that's what i know
00:24:25.616 --> 00:24:26.717
That god is doing here.
00:24:26.717 --> 00:24:28.085
So, let's pray.
00:24:28.452 --> 00:24:29.954
Our father in heaven,
00:24:29.954 --> 00:24:31.055
Speaking hebrew
00:24:31.055 --> 00:24:36.060
Thank you for protecting us.
00:24:36.060 --> 00:24:37.962
Thank you for protecting
00:24:37.962 --> 00:24:39.597
And keeping your promises
00:24:39.597 --> 00:24:41.866
To the people of israel
00:24:41.866 --> 00:24:43.401
For thousands of years
00:24:43.401 --> 00:24:44.902
And to each
00:24:44.902 --> 00:24:46.070
And everybody watching this report now around the world.
00:24:46.070 --> 00:24:49.207
You're a faithful god,
00:24:49.674 --> 00:24:51.209
And you have a plan even
00:24:51.209 --> 00:24:52.910
When we cannot see.
00:24:52.910 --> 00:24:54.412
Help us walk
00:24:54.745 --> 00:24:55.613
With you step by step.
00:24:55.613 --> 00:24:57.582
Take leaps of faith towards your direction and your calling.
00:24:57.582 --> 00:25:01.986
Protect our soldiers,
00:25:02.486 --> 00:25:04.522
Our children, our leaders.
00:25:04.522 --> 00:25:07.191
Give them wisdom.
00:25:07.191 --> 00:25:08.626
In the name of yeshua,
00:25:09.093 --> 00:25:10.962
Speaking hebrew
00:25:10.962 --> 00:25:12.897
Thank you so much,
00:25:12.897 --> 00:25:14.465
And we'll see you in our next
00:25:14.465 --> 00:25:17.001
Boots on the ground report.
00:25:17.001 --> 00:25:18.870
Keep praying
00:25:18.870 --> 00:25:19.537
For the peace of jerusalem.
00:25:19.537 --> 00:25:19.537
