Thinking again if its the Shaheed-136 the drone struck the deck plate creating that hole and emerged out of the stern.

The petalling metal shows its inside-out effect.

Looks most likely drone. Shaeed 136. Has a camera for target location per UK.

See Ref 18.
Need to study the warhead. Was it shaped charge or what?

See the picture with the hole in it? Looks like the warhead punched through to create the hole. Looks like a shaped charge. Need to find entrance hole in sheet metal for RPG. Alternate is the early damage was from a precursor warhead and hole is by the secondary warhead. Iran had a tandem warhead fo...

Could the MV ~~Sai Baba~~ Chem Pluto attack off Porbandar be a Pak false flag attack that missed the target or was sending a message?
Attack location is too far for Houthis.

Also EJ200 wasn't on table. We can prefer all we want but it has to be on table. F414 meets the thrust requirements and is single country origin. Lesser geopolitical risk. EJ 200 is way too powerful, not on offer and has multiple fathers. Any among them can object. Where did IAF say they want EJ 200 ?

BenG You can make your arguments without personal remarks.

The damage looks like a shaped charge, not a blast warhead.
Unless it hit with such force that it penetrated the ship superstructure and then exploded
And note the large diameter hole in the ship floor.

Question is with what? Targeting it 220miles from.Indian coast is delibrate and not happenstance.
The justification is poor that it's owned by an Israeli billionaire.
