BEIRUT, LEBANON (2:45 A.M.) – Several reports have surfaced this morning about an Iranian naval destroyer bombing one of its own warships in the Persian Gulf.
According to the reports, dozens of sailors were killed when the Iranian destroyer hit the Konarak warship in the Sea of Oman.
According to reports published by local journalists on social media, the frigate was targeted by a missile launched by the Jamran frigate.
Activists wrote that the missile targeted the ship is automatically directed through the radar, without the opportunity for the ship’s crew to keep an eye out for it and know its coordinates, adding that “the damned missile did its job well.”
Reports added that the affected crew was transported from the ship to Chabahar Port, and the official death toll has not been announced yet.
It is noteworthy that the Konarak ship is Iranian-made and has been operating in the third area of Iranian naval operations for two years.

After being in the USA's navy for 11 years, all I have is sorrow. Those poor bastards... and how shitty would you feel if you were the ones involved in firing the missile?
Edit: spelling, and thanks.

Weird thing is that this was a missile test and the missile ignored all the decoys targets and decided to hit the ship that had not vacated the target region entirely.
Ironically this is a success in testing a anti-ship missile. Albeit a costly success.
