US Hellfire missiles found at the scene of the attack on oil tankers

At the site of the attack on oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman, found wreckage of the American AGM-114 "Hellfire" missiles.

The United States was involved in the attack on two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman. It is reported that fragments of AGM-114 “Hellfire” missiles were found at the site of the attack on two oil tankers, which could well have caused serious damage to one of the tankers, resulting in the latter sank.

 

 

It is reported that at least three AGM-114 “Hellfire” missiles were launched for two oil tankers, which, by the way, are in service with the MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aerial vehicle, which was seen in the area of ​​the tragedy. According to preliminary data, debris of one of the rockets was found on the surface of the water.

However, the photographs provided by social networks were inconclusive, since it was very problematic to accurately identify the wreckage and relate them to the constituent parts of the American missile.

Yes, I agree that everything does not agree again: the photo indicates; 52 weight kg.
this is not 8 kg

AGM-114 Hellfire is an anti-tank missile. Warhead: cumulative. The weight of the warhead 8 kg. Flight range from 7,1 to 11 km. The main carriers of Hellfire missiles are helicopter gunships. Anyone who claims that they fired such a rocket on ships is a big visionary who has not studied the theme of his fantasies.

Thirty years ago, in my opinion, it was already. Maybe the reason was different but very similar. True, there were more tankers on fire. On the search engine you can find my story about those events. "The Persian Gulf 1987 - 1988, the work of the tanker" Makhachkala ". And at the bottom there is a postscript -" Other works of Vladimir Venetsky. "In the same place on YouTube and the same story is told by naval sailors, Persian Gulf 1986-1988 Tanker War ".
