July 29 (UPI) -- Iran said it fired ballistic missiles and destroyed a mock-up of a U.S. aircraft carrier in the Strait of Hormuz early Wednesday during a second day of drills.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps' Aerospace Force fired the missiles, hidden in camouflage, from deep underground sites as part of "The Great Prophet" war games in southern Iran, the semi-official Tasnim News Agency reported.

State television called the missile drill an "important achievement" for Iran that could pose "serious challenges to enemy intelligence organizations."

Their mock up didn't fight back. It also didn't have screening ships. In real life, the attackers wouldn't have succeeded.
