AIRCRAFT CARRIER Dodges Houthi Threat and Fighter Jet FALLS OFF!

About this video

Max analyzes reports that the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier performed zigzag evasive maneuvers to potentially avoid Houthi missile threats, during which an F/A-18E Super Hornet slid off the deck into the sea (pilot safely ejected). He speculates the carrier may have been dodging Iranian-supplied anti-ship missiles—particularly the C-802/Noor or the Fateh-110—though he acknowledges uncertainty about whether an attack actually occurred. Max explains the layered defense systems protecting carrier strike groups and reviews the arsenal Iran has reportedly provided to Houthi forces.

Key takeaways

• Max reports an F/A-18E fell off the USS Harry S. Truman during high-G maneuvers, with the pilot ejecting safely, and speculates the carrier was evading Houthi anti-ship missiles.
• Max explains that zigzag maneuvers can displace a carrier by 200+ yards per minute to confuse targeting systems, especially older ‘fire-and-forget’ weapons like the Iranian-supplied C-802/Noor missile.
• Max outlines the multi-layer defense of carrier strike groups (fighters, surface-to-air missiles, close-in weapons, electronic warfare) and notes that Iran has allegedly supplied Houthis with advanced weapons including the Fateh-110 missile with a 1,100-pound warhead.
